How come you can't customize what cameras you want active and deactivated in the geofencing setting? When I'm home I want some of the cameras active and some inactive, anyone have a solution to my question?

You can do this.

 

If the cameras are all connected to a base, then you create a custom mode for the base that includes a rule for each camera you want active.  https://kb.arlo.com/42/What-are-modes-and-rules-and-how-does-Arlo-use-them

 

Then you set geofencing's "home" mode to use that custom mode.
