Are you using the default Armed mode or one of your own making? The Armed mode has all cameras enabled but custom modes require that you reedit each mode and add rules for additional cameras.

All Motion On sounds like an old mode from last year.  Those have been known to have problems.  Creating a new one is the solution to that.

 

Once you have a new mode created with one camera, reedit it.  Use the Add Rule under the existing rule and make sure you choose your other camera. WHen asked what you want to do, choose record on that same camera again.  I think you're just missing that you can select other cameras when you reedit the mode and add rules.

Yeah i have tried to add rules on my own profile too and can only get 1 camera at a time on it. It just doesnt add it and then says session timed out.

Bob2011,

 

Take a look at this article on mode/rule creation. At what point are you having an issue?

 

How do I create and define Modes and Rules?

What happens then?  You edit the mode and then click on the Add Rule button near the bottom to create a new rule in that mode where you can select different cameras and actions.
