I have 6 Arlo Pro cameras, Currently they are all on schedule - armed when I am away, on during the night and off when I am at home. How do I set 2 of them to be permanently on irrespective of where I am or what time of day it is ?

You need to create a custom mode splitting the two cameras from the group... Then use that mode when you are not using the current one in schedule

I guess I should have been more specific. Normal mode is Geofencing. When at home it switches to Schedule with all 6 on between 10pm and 7am. I have already set up the 2 cameras in their own mode but I can't work out how to get them on permanently while still allowing everything else to Geofence / Schedule

Use another custom mode specifically for GF with only the cameras you need while away. Or isn't that what you're asking? If not, lay out the details.

Maybe its easier to ask the question backwards. 

 

Assume that I have nothing set up right now. This is what I want to achieve

  • Cameras 1&2 - permanently on all day every day
  • Cameras 3,4,5,6 - Set up for Geofencing. While away all on, when at home set up for schedule (on from 10pm to 6am)

For Away, use the Armed mode or a custom mode that has all cameras.

 

For Home, use the schedule. Use the Armed or similar custom mode from 10PM to 11:59PM and again from 12AM to 6AM. Create a custom mode with only cameras 1 and 2 and schdule that from 6AM to 10PM.
