Can the Schedule mode be customized to only activate certain cameras?

DocBN — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 22:40:10 GMT

I have recently installed an Arlo system in my home. I want to create a schedule that only activates certain cameras (i.e.outdoor cameras overnight while we are in bed, all cameras during the day when we are at work/school). Can this be done? I see no option for it in the Schedule mode, and I see no option to set a schedule in the Custom modes. Thanks for your help.

You're mixing them up. The schedule is just that a schedule for when modes run and change automatically. You must create custom modes with only rules for the cameras you need at a particular time and then set those modes into the proper time periods. There are FAQs here that explain all this in detail.

Hi jguerdat,

Your explanation makes sense. I obviously hadn't wrapped my head around the Schedule concept but now that I look at it after reading your explanation I think I get it. Thanks!

Now if I could just get Geofencing to work... sigh
