Custom Settings

Hi All.

Recently purchased Arlo Ultra. I have 4 cameras set up outside, and one inside. Currently, with geofencing active, the outside cameras are scheduled to arm between 11pm and 6am every day. I would like to have geofencing active ONLY for the inside cam. 

So, when I am at home, only the outside cameras arm between 1pm and 6am.  But when I am away (geofencing), all cameras outside and inside arm.

Thank you for your help and advice.

You do this by editing the home and away modes you are using (creating custom modes if you are using ARMED and DISARMED.

HI, thanks for the reply, but it has confused me even more.

Just restating my situation:

I have 3 cameras outside, and 2 cameras inside.

• Currently Outside is set to geofencing and scheduled to 11pm - 6am.

I want to add Inside cameras to geofencing only. 

This way all cameras (inside and outside) are armed when I am away and Outside cameras at night when I am sleeping. So I can get up in the middle of the night and not tigger the inside cameras.

Thank you.

You want the ARMED mode to be used when you are away.  Likely it is already set up that way, so that part is covered.

Again, the first step to get the rest of it is to create a custom mode which only arms the outside cameras.  https://kb.arlo.com/42/What-are-modes-and-rules-and-how-does-Arlo-use-them

The second step is to configure geofencing to use that new custom mode when you are home.  Note  #8 here: https://kb.arlo.com/1085093/How-does-Arlo-Geofencing-work-and-how-do-I-set-it-up
