Hi, I'm missing a specific feature that allows to disarm a specific camera on an *ad hoc* basis for a defined time and the camera becomes armed again. Example: you have your garden monitored permanently and you have a person working there now for the next two hours. If you had a button to disable the garden camera for the 120mins,you saved yours probably a thousand buzzes on the phone, and it would help Arlos' server load (looking at their recent fair use policy).

This has been requested lots of times before, when Arlo still had a desperate category on this forum for new features: they'd pick a suggestion and implement it. Obviously no more.

I know this is not exactly what you mean, however you can mute notifications for the time you know there will be people on the camera. And then unmute it when they are gone.

Arlo has truly let us down with these reduced options. We're now stuck with just three modes, which don’t even cover all scenarios. This is absurd—I’m paying for a subscription that used to be better!  ARLO: Get your developers to fix this immediately. Have ever used your system inthe real world?  It’s not just me—there are countless complaints on the support pages. After all the money we've spent, this is a disgrace. How could I possibly recommend this to anyone now? Absolutely shambolic!
