Hi All,

I want to keep one camera basicly off unless i want to check in to live view it. How do i do this? i tried but it will not let me save when i click do nothing. i have one ArloQ and 4 Wireless units. so i would want all to record on mothin except for one, that one i would just use to check in on an area when i want to, with live view.

The Q is on it's own ... re arming so we'll deal wit the 4 Arlos cams;

 

First you already by default have all on ( ARMED ) and all off (DISARMED).

 

So you need to make more MODES.

 

Start by reading this....https://community.netgear.com/t5/Arlo-Knowledge-Base/How-do-I-create-and-define-Modes-and-Rules/ta-p...

 

Then create a new MODE with all your 3 Arlo cameras EXCEPT the one you want off to live view.

AFTER you create a mode with the first camera, go back and EDIT to add the next two

 

* Remember that ONLY ONE mode can run at a time

* Any camera not in the running mode will be OFF

* Split the schedule time if you go thru midnight into two parts ... Up to Midnight then second half at 1201 the  next day

 

 

As an extra, you should have a mode for each combo of cameras to really control them all and any combo of same;

ARM ( all on A B C D )

DISARMED ( all off )

CAM A

CAM B

CAM C
CAM D

CAM A B

CAM A C

CAM A D

CAM B C ..... etc
