Hi ...

 

I am trying to schedule different devices to monitor at the same time. I have created a mode for each camera (since cannot create a mode for different devices, limited to one device only following below:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Arlo-Knowledge-Base/How-do-I-create-a-new-mode-for-my-Arlo-Q-and-Ar...

 

Next, added each mode to schedule to run at the same time. So, if i have 5 cameras i have created 5 modes and have scheduled to run from 12:00 am to 5:00am. When I go to the schedule page in the Arlo APP, I see only the last camera and not the others.

 

What i would like to know is that:

1) Is this the right way to setup different devices to run at the same time,

2) How can I see in the schedule all the active modes that are set at the same time,

 

Thank you for your quick prompts.

First you can run only ONE mode at a time ( arlo cameras ). ANY camera not in the active mode is off

 

You ADD a new mode and put in ONE camera...then save.  Now go back and edit the same mode to add a second, third, forth.. camera.

 

You create/add modes as needed.

 

You have two defaults ARMED ( all on ) and DISARMED ( all off )

 

So if you have 3 cameras, all the possiblities are ( active cameras );

A on

B on

C on

A&B on

A&C on

B&C on

 

If you needed to run at one time or another the above you would create 6 new modes.

 

Make the modes you need for your five cameras and then you use the mode needed in your time schedule

Thank you for your kind reply.
Following your instructions, when I create a mode and assigned a camera, editing the same mode does not allow me to add a second camera. It seems that is a one to one relationship, one mode to one camera. I can't assign one mode to more than one camera.

Am I missing something....please let me know

Thank you again for your time.

If talking about a Q cam, then yes ( you refer to a Q cam article, but this was in the Arlo section ) there is one camera per mode
