how to schedule with geofencing at daytime and always on at nighttime?

[Bliek]

Situation:

- 3 Pro 3 cams were installed exactly as we wanted

- 2 new Essential Outdoor 2nd gen cams

- forced app-upgrade while installing the new cams

- after this update I spend a lot of time trying to set the camera's the same as before, but no succes.

Can someone help me, please?

What do I want:

- From 7 am till 12 pm we want the cams only to record movement when we are both not at home.

- From 12pm till 7 am we want the cams to record every movement they catch.

How can we set the cams for this?

Thanks in advance!!

Are you still seeing this same behavior?

Sorry for the late reaction. I was on a vacation.

I had geofence turned off, because of the malfunction. Also i had the cams off because of the frontcam triggering every 5 minutes even when sensitivity on 2. In the old app, I could let the cam only notify me when there was a person. Hope this option will come back.  

Today, after reading your post, I restarted geofencing. It worked. Still, it did before sometimes. So I let it on and inform you in a few days. I am wondering if you asked me, because there is a good change Arlo solved it. Is that the case?

I had another problem with an essential 2nd cam (Cam 1). It showed all grey images en half-green images. Thought that was because of bad wifi. Now, because I had the triggerhappy essential 2nd cam (Cam 2), I switched those. Now Cam 1 was on a good wifi spot, but I stil have the bad images. So I think this one is broken. Or does someone had another idea?

Cam 2 triggers less on the new location, but still a lot.  Any suggestions for this?

I have geofencing on for a week now. It seems to work!

I quess Arlo must have changed something. Is that right? If so. Any changes I can set it up with an auto-shutoff when we are both at home?

The Arrive automation is normally set up so it triggers when either person arrives.  Is that what you meant?

I am using the settings as you advised in your first reply. You wrote:

"This isn't perfect - when you arrive home, the system will always switch to Arm Home, so it will record.  If this is in the morning, you'll need to manually change the mode to "Standby" via the dashboard."

I was hoping that with Arlos improvements I can set it up to auto-standby when we are at home.

thanks for clarifying.

I am hoping they add that back when they put back custom modes.  We'll have to see if they just put back the modes, or if they also put back the old scheduling interface.
