Too many steps

Too many steps to turn off notifications for a specific camera in your group. Unless I’m missing something this is the process?

Mode

TNA Arlo tap “armed”

Pencil

Pencil next to camera

Click Push box

Click done

Click back

Why? This shouldn’t even be in settings. This should be an easy toggle on each camera.

You can mute the notifications for all cameras for a set period in settings menu.

You have the option to turn the individual camera off in the camera settings like if you want to mow the lawn and don’t want lots of recordings. You’ll always forget to turn it back on though.

If you want to have the recordings, just not the notifications you can create a new custom mode e.g. “memow” to disable notifications for the outside cameras but keep any inside cameras notifying if desired.

Normally you'd create a custom mode that turns off notifications for that camera. Then just switch to that mode. Note modes are treated differently in the new "feed" experience (which you don't have).

You can also (more easily) disable the camera from its settings page - though that will disable recording as well as notifications.
