With "Feed", the three modes apply to the entire system (all cameras in a given location). Not to individual cameras.

If "Arm Away" and "Arm Home" both work the same way for you, then you could remove the rule for the doorbell in one of those modes. If a mode doesn't have a rule for a camera, then that camera is disarmed when you use that mode..

FWIW, you could similarly modify "Standby" to add rules to arm your other cameras, but leaving the doorbell out.

Then you'd switch to the mode w/o the doorbell rule when you want to disarm the doorbell.

Arlo does need a better solution for this - I suspect they are working on it.

Hi StephenB,

Thank you so much for educating me on routines and I modified (turned off motion detect) in Standby mode for my doorbell. Works perfect and easier to switch back and forth now.
