Previously I was able to group cameras together and have them activated while disabling others. I was able to configure multiple combinations in this manner. Example, in the summer I don't want my backyard camera activated since everyone is out there while keeping my front and side cameras activated. At other times I want only the front activated while others are disabled. In the new App, I only have the 3 preconfigured modes - Arm Home, Arm Away and Standby that disabled all the cams. Am I missing something?

Nope, you got it.However, you can use all 3, regardless of the names, to do what you need. There has also been a recent announcement that custom modes are being worked on but no details are available yet as to features or timing.

We’ve heard your feedback, and the development team is working hard to deliver a similar custom modes experience that legacy users have come to enjoy while maintaining all the new improvements and features included in the latest version of the Arlo Secure App. We will keep the community up to date as we approach the release of this highly anticipated feature.

Thank you all for your continued feedback in helping make the Arlo experience the best it can be!

@BrookeN This sounds like it's something to really get excited about. But actually, this feature was there and was removed by your development team (for some reason unclear to anyone on here and probably beyond)

 

Anyway, 'Arlo taketh away and Arlo giveth' comes to mind, so I suppose we ought to be grateful Arlo even considereth after such much lobbying. 

 

What's next on the agenda?
