How do you turn off system so not to sync in all cameras

Hi Arlo community

How do we turn off the cameras while we are home and not have to re-sync all the cameras when we turn it on? We would like to easily turn it on and off without having to sync the cameras each time?

It depends on what you mean by turning them off - remove power or just not record? No need for the former since the cameras are in a low power consumption mode, sleeping with almost no battery drain. If the latter, either use the schedule to cover the typical scenario or manually go into the app, go to the Mode tab and select All Motion On/Off as appropriate. There's no "instant button" to use to simplify the process.

If you have to re-sync the camera when turning off, you're doing it wrong.

Use the MODE call "all motion off" ( or similar named ) to put cams into sleep mode
