Arlo/Arlo Pro rules multiple cameras to record when one camera senses motion?

Is it possible to add a feature that allows multiple cameras to record when one camera senses motion? Currently, the rules when sensing motion only allow for the specific camera that senses motion to record, and then for that camera to send push/email notifications. It would be nice to be able to have a motion activation on one camera trigger recording on multiple cameras.

Yes you can do it now....

You need to create a Custom Mode.

As in , set it up this way ( say you have 2 cams )

A senses, A records

B senses, B records

A senses, B records

B senses, A records

If you have 3, you could do

A senses, A records

A senses, B records

A senses, C records

or any combo of cameras

When setting up the custom mode, add the first camera and SAVE, then go back and edit the Mode to add the second rule/camera

Thanks Tom, I will definitely create a custom mode and use that. Hadn't tried that before. Really appreciate the feedback.

When you do... try and make the times to record the same or close.

If there is to much time difference, it can lead to time over lap problems
