Drag and Drop base station assignment

I would like manage my devices base station assignment by drag and drop.  This can be acheived after I have initially paired both a base station and the camera in question. Usually when I am setting up my cameras I am outside looking for an optimal location and not next to the base station.  I typically will be watching the live video on the camera via the mobile app while positioning.

 

This becomes an issue for those of us with multiple base stations on the same account and I cross over to a location where I get better signal from a different base station in my home.  But the way it is today, I will have to bring the camera back inside, pair to the new base station and set it back again.

I have a batch of 8 Arlo Pro's and two base stations to cover both ends of the home.  The pairing process is currently a tad annoying in that if I want to move a camera from one base station to another for additional coverage in one area, I have to go to the base station and put it in pairing mode along with the camera.  I can understand this for first-time pairing, but once the cameras are associated with your account and base station it wouild be great to just drag/drop a camera to a different base station.

 

Does anyone know if there is a feature coming that would allow this in the future?
