Missing features in app

[Paulogrande]

after the new update on the Arlo app, it is missing the option to arm separately the cameras. I have a door bell camera that I want to have always armed and 2 side cameras that I want to arm at night. The app doesn’t let you do that anymore. It’s really a stupid decision to have remove lid the option.

Actually you can.  Modify "Standby" to arm the doorbell.  Don't add any other rules to that mode.

Then you can set up a schedule to switches the mode to "Standby" at sunrise and switches it to "Arm Home" at night.  You then use "Arm Away" when you are away for a while, and want the cameras armed 24x7.  I can give you some screenshots if you need them.

So basically it’s a work around instead of a solution. Manually not being able to switch on every single camera doesn’t feel like an upgrade. It feels like a downgrade. The app doesn’t explain any of this. Unless they make it the app understandable with option of manually choose the action I want for each camera, I’ll just terminate my subscription go with an other brand and throw the whole equipment in the garbage where it belongs.
