Scheduling Night mode for 1 camera

[flonder305]

I'm really confused here hope some one can help me out. I would like to schedule my backdoor camera to work only during night hours something like 9PM til 5AM. I understand you have to seperate the schedule into 2 parts so it doesnt cross midnight but have failed to figure out how to do it. I just need someone to give me a step by step how to implement this thanks.

First you need to split up the group of cameras in what you need... in this case a single cam.

Then you need to use the new Mode ( for the single camera ) in schedule;

I made a mode for back door. I was able to figure out how to create a schedule and split it into 2  parts 12am to 5am then 9pm to 11:59pm. The part I'm trying to figure out now is my other 2 cameras are also disarmed with the back door camera. How do I have my other 2 cameras armed all the time with the back door camera on a schedule.

Multiple modes with the extra 2 cameras added. Any camera without a rule is disarmed. Add more rules to your existing mode so all cameras are in it. Create another mode with just the 2 cameras for the times you don't want the back door camera armed.

If I am understanding what your saying here is I can't have the 2 front cameras armed all the time and run the back camera on a schedule in 1 mode. You can only run 1 mode at a time and you have to switch modes manually unless you use Geofencing. So I guess my last question would be why go through all that hassle making different modes and scheduling if you have to manually switch between the modes when all you have to do is turn the back camera off and back on maually when you need it??  I mean you have to do it maually either way correct??

Modes:

Mode 1 - all cameras have rules

Mode 2 - only the two front cameras have rules

Schedule:

Mode 1 - 12:00AM - 5:00AM

Mode 2 - 5:01AM - 9:00PM

Mode 1 - 9:01PM - 11:59PM
