Getting 2 separate cameras to work separately

Tuffcookie — Sat, 15 Jul 2017 14:35:54 GMT

I cannot get my cameras to record separately. I am in the "Mode" tab. I have gone into "add new rule" and named my 2 cameras: "Front" and "Back". On "Front" I selected "if motion is detected on Front camera record" rule, and then I have the 2nd rule that says "if motion is detected on Back camera record". I set all the sensitivities and length of recording and saved everything.

When I click on the schedule button a schedule pops up but it won't let me differentiate between what camera I want to operate during the times I set. It says 'Armed" or "Disarmed". If I chose :Armed" both cameras are now recording on the times in my schedule. If I only want one camera recording during that time, how do I disarm the other one?

you would make seperate modes each of which identifies which cam(s) you want to operate at the time and put those modes in the schedule accordingly. Remember a schedule event cant go across midnight so you would have to make an event til midnight and another event after midnight

Evidently you are not understanding. When I said I added a new rule, I meant that I added a mode. I added 2 new modes labeled "Front" and "Back". Then I saved everything. After that I went into schedule and tried to only schedule one of the cameras to come on at a certain time but they are both coming on!

sorry for misunderstanding. rereading your post, you're saying the new modes are not showing.?

after you created the rules, did you save them?

did you use yout phone or computer to create them? if computer try another browser (assuming you did save them)
