Controlling individual cameras

Hi there,

Re the new updated App (which is frustrating me with its lack of being intuitive to be able to use).

I have three cameras and would like to set them all to different schedules.

i.e.

Camera 1 - 6pm - 6am

Camera 2 - 10pm - 5am

Camera 3 - permanently on

How do I do this with the three options available?

I have read help guides, tried different things, including turning one camera on in Standby mode (which then didnt allow the other two camera to turn on) and other experiments.

Can you easily see which cameras are active at anyone time?

Please arlo, fix this.

Alternatively, is there another app that will control the Arlo cameras?

Thanks for your help

Paul.

You can't. You need 4 combinations of armed cameras

camera 3 only from 6 am to 6 pm
cameras 1,3 from 6 pm to 10 pm
cameras 1,2,3 from 10 pm to 5 am
cameras 2,3 from 5 am to 6 pm

So this is not possible with only 3 modes.

You could do it if you were willing to align the stop times for cameras 2 and 3.
