Hello everyone, since the update I am unable to have custom changes happen. I want my driveway camera and front door camera to record 24/7 and I want all of the other cameras to record between the hours of 10PM and 6AM. I was told by customer service that is no longer a option? Does anyone have any advice or how to make this happen? I have been with Arlo for years and the new app is horrible.

Assuming you are now seeing "Feed" and "Dashboard" in the app...

 

First, make sure there are rules for the driveway and front door camera that enable recording in both Arm Home and Arm Away.  Similarly, make sure the other cameras do NOT have rules in Arm Home.  So Arm Home only activates the two 24/7 cameras, and Arm Away activates all of them. (You don't have to use these two specific modes, but you do need to set up one mode that activates all the cameras, and one other mode that only activates the driveway and front door cameras).

 

Then follow the guidance to set up the schedule in this KB article:

 

You will find that you get notifications at 10 pm and 6 am (when the mode changes per the schedule).  Unfortunately there is no way to silence just those notifications.
