My all three cameras are working fine after sync; howver, at night, I turned the power off at base station because I do not want it to detect ourselves whenever we are at home. Early morning, I turned the power on, and it comes out one or two cameras are off line. It bothered me because I have to remove the camera down and re-sync beside the base station. Can it be set to online and offline automatically whenever the base station power is truned on and off? Thanks.

Yes. Never turn your base off - that causes excessive battery usage as the cameras try to connect to the nonexistent base. As you found, it can also cause the cameras to lose sync.

 

Explore the interface - there's an On/Off slider for each camera in Settings, My Devices and there's also modes and rules that can be combined with the schedule. There are FAQs here to step you through the details but quickly, use the Mode tab, click on your base and check out the default Armed mode as well as the schedule. Note that you can create custom modes so you have full control.
