Temporarily suspend video and audio recording

[mfitzy8]

It would be nice to have a mode called "Temporarily Suspend" that disables the current mode for a set period of time (30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, etc).  This would allow a user to turn off all cameras but they would automatically return to the previous mode after the set period of time.

Thanks - I've done just that!

A 10 minute suspend would be amazing How many times do we come home from shopping and you cringe because you know that there are going to be a half of a dozen useless videos of you unloading the car, eating up that precious battery life.

Great idea would love to "snooze" for an hour while my kids are playing outside.

Excellent idea!

Please add an option that allows users to temporarily disable the motion detection for a particular interval of time (e.g., 1 hour).  There are many instances where someone just need to disable it for a particular amount of time to avoid the camera batteries from being wasted (e.g., washing car in driveway, kids playing in backyard, mowing the lawn, etc.).  In these cases I have been fully disabling the motion detection, but the problem is that I keep forgetting to turn it back on afterwards, which results in my property being unprotected until I finally remember to re-enable it.  If there were an option to just "snooze" the motion detection functionality for a set period of time, then the motion detection would eventually automatically come back on its own.

Great Idea! I can see how this could be very useful. Thanks for sharing!

For the most part, I'm really happy with the Arlo and the iOS app that it uses. There is 1 feature I wish the Arlo Engineers would incorporate. That feature would be a TIME DELAY of any MODES you are currently in. Often times I know my kids are playing where a camera is and they set off the alarm. I usualy turn that MODE or camera OFF, BUT OFTEN forget to turn the mode on again after a period of time. 

It would be EXTREEMLY convenient to just assign a Disabled TIME DELAY to that MODE you are in (i.e. 2 hours, minutes, etc.  disabled or OFF), then turn back ON after that time has lapsed automatically. 

Please conisder this and how you can make millions of Arlo fans even more happy! Thanks!

Would want to be able to select which cameras 'snooze'.  (ex: All, A, A+B, A+C, etc)

I would find this very useful.  Currently I disable 1 or more of my cameras mutliple times a week because of wind (motion detection set off by either shadows from the trees or sun shining through the trees).  I have to remember to go back and reenable them.  This feature would save me lots of time / long periods where my cameras are off.
