How do I temporarily disarm one camera using this new Arlo Secure app? I used to be able to go to "Mode" and just click a camera to disarm, then turn it back on a little later. That option seems to be gone. The case is, for example, a maintenance person shows up to work on something in the back yard, and I want to turn that single camera off so it's not constantly triggering while they're out there. Then 15-20 minutes later I want to just click it back on. The only thing I can seem to find is all on or all off...I want to keep everything on except the one camera in the zone that is temporarily experiencing excessive motion. The constant alerts are annoying and it uses excess battery on the camera to just leave it run.

Another way that I've been using is to go into the rules for the current mode and just disable motion detection. That doesn't remove the rule or any settings associated with it so you can then go back to the rule and enable it later.
