Having only one camera record

Kittydander — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 00:50:46 GMT

I have 4 cameras on my system and can have the "all off" or "all on (recording)" but can not figure out how to have JUST ONE camera record.

When I go to Mode on the app, I seem to have only two options, Arm All Devices and Disarm All Devices.

Please help! Thanks in advance.

What camera model and base station if any? You can setup the armed mode to just use one camera by adjusting the camera rules contained within that mode.

@Kittydander: A better path is to leave the armed mode alone. Instead, create a custom mode that only has a rule for the camera you want to arm by itself. Then switch to that mode to arm that camera (and simultaneously disarm the others).
