Video Recording When Bridge is in Schedule Mode

Hdez — Mon, 29 Oct 2018 17:58:30 GMT

I couldn't find a satisfactory reply to my issue in the community support. This is what I need:

I do not want my security lights to detect motion during the day, only at night; accordingly, I select the schedule mode provided with the original installation. My problem is that I can't set the bridge to trigger my cameras when the lights are triggered under this mode. I read all issues listed related to this problem. Most recommended adding a mode to trigger the schedule. I dont't want to trigger the "schedule mode"; I want to trigger cameras while in schedule mode. Can anyone help with this? Thank you.

I think you are misunderstanding what the schedule is. It simply automates the switching of any modes you have, Armed by default or any custom modes you may create. It sounds like you only have the Armed mode so set the schedule to use Armed form, say, 8PM to 11:59PM and again from 12AM to 6AM.

Thank you for your reply. I’m completely lost. I have 4 modes: Armed, Disarmed, Schedule, and Geofencing. When I select Schedule, the lights are triggered only during the times set in the mode, but not recording. If I select Armed, the sensors are triggered at all time of the day and record to my cameras; odviously, the lights don’t come on during the day hours because of the dusk to dawn settings. You are saying that there’s way to tell the Schedule Mode to use the Armed Mode? Can you tell me how?
Thanks!

Better yet, read the FAQs here on creating and modifying modes as well as how to use the schedule.

After reading a ferw of the Q&As as you suggested, I went back to my current modes and after examining the Schedule mode further in my PC I can see that the Armed mode is within the scheduled times. It totally makes sence to me now. Although you can see the same thing in the App, seeing it in the PC is somehow easier to notice it.

Thanks again for your help!!
