Of the several cameras I have, I note that the one near my front door is draining battery at an accelerated rate from the others, and I presume it’s because it’s now picking up the noise of my air conditioner. Do I rectify that by simply turning off the speaker or microphone?

Make sure you do not have audio detected checked in your Rules for that camera.

I hated to sound stupid, but the only thing I see under mold is arm or disarm

Select armed  then select that camera for rules.

Both cameras only have motion checked off.

Do you mean motion checked on and audio checked off. You need audio checked off (unchecked) If that is what you meant  that is a different problem then, it should not pick up your air conditioner coming on unless it is  blowing  something outside. Not sure if is a window unit or central air unit on the ground.  May be it is more activity on that camera.
