Multiple Modes

Kiemosabi — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 18:44:43 GMT

I have 3 Arlo Pros mounted outside. Is it possible to setup multiple modes? Meaning, I would like to have 2 cameras set to "Armed" so that they auto trigger with motion. However, I have a 3rd camera that I want to put on a schedule so that it only comes on in the middle of the night. Is this at all possible? it appears It's all or nothing. Either all 3 are "armed" or all 3 have to be on same schedule. The camera i want to be middle of the night only captures my driveway and street. if it's armed all day it goes off so much that i'm literally getting 5 days max out of charge. Not going to charge it weekly. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Kiemosabi,

You can definitely setup multiple schedules to achieve the above. I currently run a similar setup to what you are asking for.

Here's how:

1- Create a mode that only includes your 2 daytime cameras. Configure it however you see fit, then call it something like "Outside Daytime Schedule".

2- Create a mode that includes all 3 cameras. Configure it however you see fit and call it something like "Outside Nightime Schedule".

3- Now go to the Schedule mode and click on + Add. You should have the option of selecting your newly created modes for every schedule you make.

In our case, when creating the schedule, this is what you should do:

Click on + Add

1- Select "Outside Nightime Shedule".

2- Select all days of the week (I'm assuming here).

3- Select 12:00 AM as Start Time.

4- Select 5:30 AM as End Time (again assuming there is already daylight at your location).

5- Select Save.

Click on + Add

1- Select "Outside Daytime Shedule".

2- Select all days of the week.

3- Select 5:31 AM as Start Time.

4- Select 6:30 PM as End Time (assuming this is your night time).

5- Select Save.

Click on + Add

1- Select "Outside Nightime Shedule".

2- Select all days of the week (I'm assuming here).

3- Select 6:31 PM as Start Time.

4- Select 11:59 PM as End Time.

5- Select Save.

Hope this helps out!
