Two arm home options

AzEyak — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 02:23:22 GMT

I would like to be able to have front yard cameras on during the day. Then be able to have front and back yard cameras on at night. Great product otherwise, and customer service has been very helpful.

Reading this FAQ should get you started:

https://kb.arlo.com/000062777/About-Arlo-Routines-Modes-Rules-and-Automations

Basically, you need to edit your modes and rules under Routines. Arm Away automatically has rules for all cameras but Arm Home needs to be populated. Add rules for only those cameras needed (your front yard cameras).

Once your modes are properly configured, use the "+" at the top of Routines to choose to add a schedule. You will need 2 - one to change the mode to Arm Away at, say, 10 PM and the second one to change the mode to Arm Home at 7 AM.

Ask questions if/when you run into problems.

I do have arm away set for all cameras but this also triggers indoor cameras for when I’m away from the house. It on the weekend hanging out in the back yard during the day I would like arm home front camera option and in the evening all out door cameras. I do have times and different cameras configured to arm options. Just need one more option.

Unfortunately there are only three. You can re-purpose standby if you haven't already.

Once custom modes is finished, there will be more options available.

I will try repurposing standby and keep my eye out for custom settings down the road, thank you.

Assigning cameras to standby was what I was looking for. Thank you for the suggestion.
