How can you set a schedule (mode) for just one camera?
I have a 3 cam set. 2 outside. 1 inside.
The 2 outside i want to be armed 24/7.

But id like the inside one to only be armed at night and when we are not home.
Is there a way to set a Schedule mode for ONLY that one camera?

Thanks in advance!

You can do what you want, but not by setting a schedule mode for one camera.

 

What you do instead is create a custom mode for the two outside cameras (maybe call it outdoor).  Don't include the indoor camera at all.  https://kb.arlo.com/42/What-are-modes-and-rules-and-how-does-Arlo-use-them

 

You can then create a schedule that uses Armed when you want all cameras working, and that uses Outdoor when you only want the outdoor cameras working (at night).  https://kb.arlo.com/4900/How-can-I-set-a-schedule-for-my-camera-in-my-Arlo-account

 

You can also add geofencing.  That can be set up to use "Armed" as the Away mode, and "Schedule" as the Home mode.  Then all cameras would be armed when you are away, and at night (whether you are home or away).  And the indoor camera would not be detecting motion when you are at home during the day.  https://kb.arlo.com/1085093/How-does-Arlo-Geofencing-work-and-how-do-I-set-it-up
