I have Geofencing enables so that my cameras are not recoreding me walking around my house and outdoor. However i want my cameras to record when Im sleeping. Without changing the mode each night is there a way to Arm and disarm the cameras while on my sleep schedule?

You can, but the details depend on whether you see "Feed" and "Dashboard" in your app, or whether you see "Library" instead. So let us know which of those two you see.

Ok.

So what you do is first create a schedule (ignoring geofencing).

Set up the schedule to only arm the cameras when you normally are sleeping, and disarm them the rest of the time. One snag - you can not schedule across midnight. So you need one entry that ends at 11:59 pm, and a second one that starts at midnight.

Once the schedule is created, then change your geofencing "home" mode to "schedule". Then it will apply the schedule when you are home, but still use the mode you specified (likely "armed") when away.
