Arming Cameras

Skippylv — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 03:50:12 GMT

I have a wire-free system with 4 cameras. Two are inside and two are outside. I can't figure out how to arm/disarm just the two outside cameras. I can either arm/disarm all or just individual cameras. Can anyone help?

Skippy....

You have to create new MODES. ( or at least one )

Go to MODE, click on the arlo base.. your default two modes should show up on right ARMED( all on) and DISARMED (all off )

At bottom of page click on ADD A MODE , Give it a name like OUTSIDE

Pick the first camera and set it up to do what you want by following steps.... when all done SAVE

Now go back to MODE and click on the EDIT in the new mode OUTSIDE

Add in the second camera, set it up like the first and save upon exit.

Now you will have both outside cameras in a mode called OUTSIDE.

Remember , that ONLY 1 mode can run at a time, the newer mode will take effect over the old ...

Also any camera NOT in the active mode will be off

After you do this, you can create modes for any combo of your 4 cams.

I have tried and tried with the instructions to set up arming 2 wireless cameras, but it will only allow one of them to detect on motion. What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thank you

You need to add a rule for the second camera by editing the existing mode and creating a second rule. The initial creation of a mode only allows one camera to be set up with a rule. Save that rule and mode and then reedit it. Use the Add Rule button at the bottom to set up a rule for any additional cameras, one at a time.
