Feature request: Temporarily Disarm

[10jed]

When I want to pause the cameras (disarm) to conserve battery and avoid unnecessary notifications - such as when someone is mowing the yard - it seems the only choice I have is to disarm it and then remember to rearm it. And I tend to forget to rearm it. A feature to pause for either a configurable length of time, or select from, say, 15 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, where it automatically rearms per schedule after the timeout would be really helpful.

Is anyone from Arlo Product or Support on this forum who could comment on the likelihood of adding this? Or point to a workaround?

Thanks.

Thanks for the idea. I will provide this information to the appropriate team for future consideration.

You can set up a schedule automation to arm your cameras every evening.  Then if you forget, the cameras will still end up armed by the end of the day

This has been requested several times and years ago. New requests  like yours come up from time to time. They'll not implement it for some reason. There is no workaround except when you set up an alarm on your phone to remind you to check whether you've re-armed.
