Have a timer reset that would allow us to override the schedule for a certain defined period

We use Arlo to protect and monitor a busy 55+ Activity Centre. The facility is used by numerous groups throughout the day and into the night as we rent out the auditorium and certain classrooms on a regular basis.

 

We have established several "modes" that monitor certain areas of the facility while other areas of the facility are being rented. For the most part this works fine. We have a default mode that protects/monitors the administrative offices only (Office Only mode) as under normal circumstance there should be no activity in the admin office during the nights and on the weekends. 

 

Unfortunately adjusting the schedule to the exact time that renters are using it is difficult as the schedules are flexible. This can result in numerous nusiance alarms. Wehen we get nuisance alarms due to rental activity we typically remove the Arlo mode from "Schedule" and set it to "Office Only". It's easy to forget about setting the mode back "Schedule" and this results in only the office area being monitoredafter the renters have left the facility.

 

IDEA .. It would be a useful feature to have a TIMER RESET that would allow us to override the schedule for a certain defined period .. say increments of 30 minutes. This would allow us to set an override time for say 60 minutes that moves the mode from "schedule" to "Office Only" and then automatically reverts back to "Schedule" when the override timer completes. (Thereby ensuring the entire facility is monitored as per the schedule after the timer times out).

i think if there is someone watching or signed in to the account the light on the camera itself should turn a different color
