That is why I asked what you want to do. On/off could mean anything.

You need to look at modes and rules.

 

If you choose to create your own modes, you can do so by creating a rule or rules that tell your cameras what to do while that mode is active. You can also choose to edit an existing mode.

Create a Night mode with Rules that trigger only the cameras you want to be active.

 

Then set a Schedule that uses that mode

 

A Day mode can work on other cameras.

 

What are modes and rules and how does Arlo use them?

 

How do I configure and use the Schedule option?

What are you trying to achieve?

 

You can turn cameras on and off as you see fit. Just unplug them is one move.

 

There is also an on/off button of the settings page for each camera.
