Why Did Arlo Remove Per-Camera Arming? Vital Function Gone

Bring Back the Option to Arm/Disarm Individual Cameras

One of the best and most sensible features in the previous Arlo app experience was the ability to arm or disarm individual cameras. That’s now gone in the latest version—and I can’t understand why.

This was incredibly useful in practical, everyday scenarios. If I’m working in the garden and moving around in view of one camera, I could disarm just that one to avoid endless smart alerts and unnecessary battery drain—while keeping the rest of the system active. Now, it’s all or nothing. I either have to turn off the whole system or live with constant, pointless alerts and battery use.

This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about flexibility and control, the very reason many of us choose Arlo in the first place.

Please bring this feature back. At the very least, give users the choice to enable or disable individual camera arming within custom modes.
