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.

I'd like to use this system as an alarm: when I go out from my house I want to insert, when I came back I want to disable, is it possible to put a button on the app to arm and disarm the system?

This can be done by switching the mode to the default "all motion off" mode. This will effectively disarm the system so that it will not detect and record motion.

Yeah. I wish there was a button I could hit that was like "disable the cameras for <x> minutes" so I could just leave my driveway without setting the cameras off, or hit it on my way in.

It would be useful if Arlo motion detection would auto disarm when I arrive home with my phone on my person and auto arm when I leave the area.

It is marked as solved only because it's NOT an option yet, but was already posted in the above request area... more kudos tothe request, better chance they'll do it

I would like the ability for motion sensing to automatically be enabled for all of my cameras when I leave my house, and disabled when I return.

 

This could be accomplished via a geofence setup by the Arlo app on my phone (assume that my phone goes with me when I leave).

This would need to be in addition to the schedule based options so that I can still capture motion at night when I'm home.

Strongly support this. Especially for those of us dependent on 4G data connections and given the current state of the Iphone app - takes a long time to sign in and find the mode.
