Having a problem disarming or arming individual cameras. I bought the "Arlo Pro 4XL Spotlight 3 Camera Security Bundle" recently from Costco. It comes with a VMB4540 Smart Hub. My problem is when I click "My Devices", it shows the "Smart Hub" and underneath it, shows the three cameras. However, when I click on "Mode", it shows the "Smart Hub" but there's nothing underneath it. The only option above the hub is "Arm All Devices" or "Disarm All Devices". There is no provision to arm or disarm an individual camera. I tried removing the cameras, and then manually resyncing them to the "Smart Hub", but it still does not show any cameras on the "Mode" screen. Any suggestions appreciated.

UPDATE:

 

I think I solved my problem.

 

A few days ago, I must have been using an older app version which showed my cameras under the "SmartHub" when I was in the "Mode" screen. I suppose the app was updated, or there was a change in the firmware of the "SmartHub". Whatever the reason, I found a solution. It seems that now I have to select "Add a Mode", and make a custom mode which allows me to select which of the camera(s) I want to arm. That then becomes one of the mode selections which allows me to arm only one or multiple cameras depending on how I design the custom mode.
