We really need the "fence/in range/gps/" option

I really liked the camera its just missing the autodetect if im in range or not, I know canary camera is doing it but I heard that the firmware and support are not good. Here to support and push for the fence/in range  idea. My problems of setting up rules with schedule is that during weekends im always in and out and its kinda tedious amr/disarm the system.

GeoFencing is a fantastic feature!  It does need to support more rules though.  

 

#1.  When enabling multi devices GeoFencing should only "arm" when ALL devices leave the premises.

#2.  Allow rule to switch to different mode when returning home....ie. only front door, only front and back door...etc.

Geo fencing is good, but not so reliable for me as I live in a skyscraper which seems to mess with the location services. What would solve this is if the Arlo system would go into home mode when my phone with the Arlo app is on the same wi-fi network as the Arlo base station. When the phone disconnects from my home wi-fi then location services (geo fencing) can take over. This would stop Arlo from incorrectly arming my cameras because of inaccurate location data while I'm at home.

Agree, I use IFTTT for this but it doesn't always work immediately usually a 3-5 minute delay.
