I have three Pro 3 cameras paired with my base unit.  I also have a video doorbell with is not paired.  The doorbell is armed all the times and the base is armed at night and away.  If I add the video doorbell to the base, can I have it armed all the time or will I have to arm it the same as the other cameras?

Regardless of whether paired to a base or your WiFi you can set it to be armed as you desire. With WiFi you get to do it as a single device. When paired with a base, you use modes and rules as well as the schedule to determine what's armed and when. Read the FAQs here about creating custom modes for full directions. You would have multiple modes with different numbers of cameras with rules in them. Any camera without a rule is disarmed. Then schedule the various modes in the schedule to automate the switching. To go past midnight, schedule from a starting time to 11:59PM and again from 12:00AM to your stopping time.

Thanks.  I like the way it works now-easy and simple.  Did not want to change and pair doorbell unless I could separate the modes.  Will do a little reading.
