You don't understand the "Enable Lists", and they are all set incorrectly.

These lists are directly under the automation name. They specify the modes in which the automations are active - NOT the mode you are wanting to switch to (which is in the action list).

Set both to run in both Arm Home and Standby.

The schedule should now function, but It's not what I suggested.

With your settings the schedule is active even when the system is in "Arm Away" mode. So you will not be able to arm the cameras 24x7 when you go on a trip unless you first manually disable the schedule automations.

So I recommend that you disable the schedule automations in "Arm Away". Then if you set the system in "Arm Away" mode when you go on a trip, the cameras remain armed until you manually set the system back to "Arm Home" or "Standby".
