With multi cameras how to have some set for Armed away and some standby or other combination. Right now all my cameras can only have one settings, I need to be able to have some in one mode and some in another at the same location (indoor and outdoor). Do I need to remoce camera from Home and assign them to another location call indoor?

Thanks

If you do that, you will need a second subscription.

While you cannot add more modes, you can modify the three you have.  If a camera has no rule in a mode, then it is automatically disarmed when the system is in that mode.

If you only need one combination with only some cameras armed, then use "Arm Home" for that.  If you need two combinations, then I suggest modifying "Standby" as well (adding rules).  Then turn off cameras using the video settings as needed.

 

Hopefully Arlo is working at bringing back custom modes.
