Individual Arlo Camera Scheduling

jmb2885 — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 06:37:22 GMT

I know there is evidently some way to go in and schedule separate cameras to record at different times but I cannot figure it out. I have modes doing this that and the other but why can't I simply create rules right for each camera by selecting it. I simply want one camera to stay on 24/7 and the other to turn off a few hours each day. Why is this so difficult to schedule? Very close to buying a camera system that is a bit simpler.

Have a read of the online user manual. Scheduling is pretty simple once you understand how it works

Reading the manual and the FAQs is always a good start. What you have to realize is that you don't set up each camera individually - you create a mode with rules for only the cameras you want. Anycamera without a rule is disarmed. Sounds like you want a mode with only one rule for the 24/7 camera and another mode with rules for both cameras. Then use the schedule to use the 1 camera mode at all times that aren't used by the 2 camera mode, such as:

1 camera mode - 12:00AM to 6AM

2 camera mode - 6:01AM to 10AM

1 camera mode - 10:01AM to 6PM

2 camera mode - 6:01PM to 10PM

1 camera mode - 10:01PM to 11:59PM

The directions for custom modes and scheduling spell this all out for the reading.
