Hello,

 

I have seen a few posts regarding this but they did not fully answer my questions. Hope the community can help.

I have 5 ultra cameras at home: A/B/C are outdoor cameras and D/E are indoor cameras. Here is how I'd like to set them up:

- A/B/C outdoor cameras always armed (regardless of if I am at home or not)

- D/E indoor cameras only active in 2 cases: (1) I am not home (geofencing) OR (2) I am at home but it is between 10pm and 6am as defined in the schedule mode.

 

Is there a way to support this? Not at home: all cameras always ON, I am at home: outdoors cameras ON, indoor cameras only ON between 10pm and 6am. Within geofencing, i can easily arm all cameras while away but while at home I would essentially like to using the schedule mode for indoor cameras and armed mode for outdoor cameras. I am not sure this is possible... Any idea?

 

Thanks

Geo give you two modes ;  Away and Home

You'll may need to make some custom modes

 

So GEO away is ARMED ( easy part as all are on )

GEO Home is a bit tricky as Schedule

(tips ; any cameras NOT in active mode are off )

(tips; go thru midnight must broken broke into two parts up to 1159pm, then Midnight on )

(tips; only one active mode can run at a time )

 

Schedule using created custom mode with cams   ABC

use Schedule to arm ARMED for times of 10 pm to 1159pm, next day Midnight to 6am ( all on while home)

use Schedule for all other times, mode ABC ( abc armed during rest of time while home )

 

think that should do it   🙂
