I have the doorbell camera and two outdoor cameras.  All let me set Away and Home modes, but the Standby mode is only available for the doorbell.  How do I get Standby mode available for the two outdoor cameras?

You can edit any of the modes to include rules for any of the devices attached to your account. For more information on how to do this, see here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062777/About-Arlo-Routines-Modes-Rules-and-Automations

 


@Marrella:  If a mode doesn't contain a rule for a camera, then the camera is automatically disarmed when you choose that mode.

 

So if your goal is to disarm the outdoor cameras when you go into standby, then you make sure there is no rule for those cameras in the standby mode.

Oh, ok. I think I get it now.  I did not go far enough into the Standby Mode setting to realize that the doorbell camera is the only camera I have to manually turn off notifications for Standby Mode.  The other two cameras  automatically delete the motions/notifications rule in Standby.  I didn't realize this because the only device that shows on the Standby Mode setting screen is the doorbell camera.  The other two are under "Add Device Rules."  This is confusing since the Away and Home Mode settings display all three cameras on the settings screen.  Regardless, this does what I want, which is to put the two outside cameras in Standby while leaving the doorbell with motion detection and notifications (at least I think it does!).  Thank you both for the quick response!
