How do I Geofence one camera and keep other cameras armed?

kbobn — Fri, 12 May 2017 17:16:17 GMT

I want to disarm the inside camera through Geofencing when I am home and keep the outside cameras active through the night. I have tried creating two new modes, but Geofencing seems to disarm all cameras. Need help

How are your modes configured? It would seem that you should use one new mode for Home and the other for Away. Is that what you did?

Not sure what you mean, I did not find a home or away option for each camera. I have a mode for inside cameras and another mode for outside. Should I configure the cameras differently?

The Home and Away settings are in the geofencing option. Isn't that what you're trying to use?

Create a new zone, then build it into your schedule.

I have fully armed when out of geofence zone, all disarmed when in zone, but then also if in zone between 8pm and 7am I have internal cameras disarmed and external cameras armed as a through the night perimeter defence. Research the zones and schedule and you can figure it out

Thank you Pgsullivan, I was hoping for an easy way like programing geofencing each camera and trying not to get into schedules since our night lives are flexable. Maybe something for Arlo to develop.

kbobn,

For what you're describing you need one custom mode that has rules for the outside cameras to trigger on motion (do not create any rules for the inside camera).

Within Geofencing settings set that custom mode to "Home". Then set the "Away" mode to "Armed".

This will allow all cameras to Arm when you are away and only the outside cameras to arm when you are at home.
