Scheduling and Modes

[padare]

My needs are, I think, fairly simple and common and I had my system setup this way once but I had to reset the entire system and now with the current web UI I simply cannot figure out how to get back to where I was. Here's what I need to do:

1. All cameras should trigger on motion, use 80% sensitivity, and whichever camera is triggered should record 1 minute of video, and send an email alert when triggered.
2. This should run on a schedule, on at 8:00 PM, off at 7:00 AM (I work from home so I don't need them on during the day).

I can setup a schedule, and I can setup a mode per camera, but how do I get all of my cameras to operate the same way, on a schedule? It would appear that you can only have one mode active at any given time, so that's one camera at a time, or a schedule during which I don't appear to be able to add modes.

I could be being a bit thick here, but this UI does not seem to be at all intuitive.

You just need to edit your modes and add more camera rules.  You can only add one at a time so set up the camera rule, save, and add more rules to that mode until you're done.  Then you can schedule painlessly.

Ok, thanks. I've got all of my rules added to a single Mode. How do I associate that a Schedule? The Mode and Schedule appear in the same list and they appear to be mutually exclusive options.

Ok, finally figured this out. Once I've created the Mode and the associated rules, I need to go into the Schedule, click the > symbol and then select the Mode and since my schedule is from 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM, I need to do this twice, once for 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM and then again for 12:00 AM to 7:00 AM.

No offense but this UI is horrible. The NetGear web UI folks are in serious need of UX/UI training.
