I have 3 Arlo Cameras on one base station.  2 cameras are set on Motion.  How do I get the 3rd camera to be on a different mode?  I'd like the third one to be on a Schedule.  When I go in to create a new mode, since the base is already set to Motion, that stays the same.  Can I make that 3rd one different, not motion, schedule instead?

 

Thank you.

A few hints;

 

You can only have one schedule ( unless you run more than one base )

Any camera NOT in a MODE will be off.

Only ONE mode can run at a time.

 

So it sounds like you need to create a couple of custom modes to separate the cameras

You have as default ARMED ( all on ) and DISARMED ( all off ).  With 3 cameras A, B, C,

To cover all the possible choices, you need a mode for ( tho usu less );

cam A

cam B

cam C

cam A-B

cam A-C

cam B-C

 

make modes for the cameras as you splt them up , like inside/outside/etc.

If your running a schedule, you must have all the cameras on a schedule if in use or not ( in a way they are since any camera not in a mode is off )

 

So you have to make a cutom mode for two of your cameras and then another for the third cam.

That way in schedule, you could run the set of two , the one cam , or all of them... just place the  proper Mode into the schedule as needed
