I have an Arlo Pro system. I am having trouble figuring out if it is possible to handle the "mode" I desire.. Assuming 2 cameras - one on the front porch, and one inside. I want the front porch camera to always be armed,, and the inside camera to only be armed when we are not home (geofencing). I can set both cameras to either mode, but I cannot figure out how to make them have independent modes. Is this "mode" possible? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks.

The first thing you have to do is split the cameras up from the default of (all cams ) armed

 

Use ADD A MODE to make a new mode for cam A ( call it front )

Now you can have A armed all the time ( using that mode when you are home in geofence ) and use the ARMED mode for both cams A & B to be ARMED while away in geofence

Thanks for the response.  So, I played around and was able to get this setup.  However, lets add one more complication.  I have a third camera in the backyard that I only want armed overnight (schedule).  So "away" mode stays the same as they are both armed, but the "home" mode currently only keeps the front porch camera active.  Is it possible to add to the thrid camera on a schedule to this "home" mode?

 

Thanks again.

Create 2 new modes  1) for the third camera  and 2) the front and back

You will now have to schedule the cameras as wanted for the time allowed and use schedule in the HOME Geofence
