It would be great if we could arm/disarm certain cameras

Last night was windy.  I have an observatory in back with a shutter fan.  When the wind blow just right, the shutter flaps and triggers the camera.  My library was full of these shots. We need a simple way of disarming a camera or arm or certain cameras.  Ei: when I am gone, arm all but the front since it triggers on a car going by.  I don't want the shut the device, because at night I want them to arm.

Read the FAQs here on motion sensitivity, camera positioning as well as how to create custom modes. Each custom mode can have as many or as few camera rules as needed with appropriate settings. Then use the schedule to automate switching between the modes.

Give me a link to the arlo pro faq.  Found for the pro3, and q not the pro.  Don't want to can the sensitivity of that camera because it covers the back of the house.

Rules are mostly the same for different cameras.
