Set up a schedule automation to switch the mode to "Arm Home" for each time you want the cameras to activate.  Set up a second schedule automation to switch the mode to "Standby" for each time you want the cameras to deactivate.  All these automations should be enabled in both "Arm Home" and "Standby", but not in "Arm Away".  I can post screen shots if you need them.

 

This activates/deactivates all cameras together.  If you want something else, post the details.  Unfortunately with no custom modes the combinations of cameras active at any given time is limited to 3.  So if you have a complex schedule it might not be possible until Arlo adds back custom modes.
