I am contemplating buying some Arlo cameras for my horse boarding business, but want to make sure it will work for what I want before purchasing. I want to grant limited “viewing only” access to my clients to see their horses, but not 24/7. Is there a way to group multiple cameras together and EASILY turn them off for only my clients? I would prefer my clients not be able to log on and see me doing chores after hours in a sports bra on my own property, but still recording for my own use in case something happens.

    Of course, that doesn't affect live viewing.

     

    If the horse barn has it's own wifi system and you use that for the cameras, then you can disable or power down the wifi when you are doing chores.  Ideally use AC power for the cameas in that case (as they will drain their batteries more quickly when they are looking for network).

     

    If instead you connect the cameras to a smarthub in the barn, you can similarly turn off the smarthub.  A smart switch would let you do this on a schedule (or manually from your phone).

There's no way to schedule when to allow viewing for those who were granted access. However, you could schedule disarming at least certain cameras at specific times which may be an adequate solution.
