Arlo Pro 2 how to customize notifications and not kill batteries quickly

Hi,

I am not optimising how to use this system and need a little help. I have the Arlo 2 at work with 6 cameras. How can I set this up so that I'm not getting any notifications during business hours. I also don't want any notifications for off hours for the outside cameras but do for the inside ones. Also is there a way not to absolutely kill these batteries so quickly?

Thanks!

You need to make a few of custom Modes...

Split up the inside and outside cameras into two groups ( call them INSIDE / OUTSIDE )

Also make a dupe of you ARMED mode but without alerts toggled on, ( called NOALERTS )

Then just run them on the schedule; NOALERTS during business hours, INSIDE run after hours

( you call call them whatever, but its good to know exactly what the mode does )

As to the battery life, use ac power if able to , also remember that these are not designed as 24/7 record cameras but reall "motion detect then record"... so placed these to avoid very high traffic with still giving coverage you need
