My six cameras are working properly in "Armed" mode. When I change over to "Work Day" mode, sometimes my Front Door camera records and sometimes my Street View camera records, but never both.

 

Since the Armed mode works 100% of the time as desired and the Work Day mode never works as desired, I'll post my settings for each and hopefully someone can see where my error is.

 

ARMED MODE: 

  1. Record camera (Front Door) on motion
    • If the following - Front Tree Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Front Door Record Video (60s)
  2. Record camera (Back Door) on motion
    • If the following - Back Door Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Back Door Record Video (120s)
  3. Record camera (Street View) on motion
    • If the following - Front Tree Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Street View Record Video (120s)
  4. Record camera (Interior Down) on motion
    • If the following - Interior Down Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Interior Down Record Video (120s)
  5. Record camera (Interior Up) on motion
    • If the following - Interior Up Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Interior Up Record Video (120s)
  6. Record camera (Front Tree) on motion
    • If the following - Front Tree Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Front Tree Record Video (60s)

 

WORK DAY MODE: 

  1. Record video on Back Door if Back Door detects motion
    • If the following - Back Door Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Back Door Record Video (60s)
  2. Record video on Front Door if Front Door detects motion
    • If the following - Front Tree Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Front Door Record Video (60s)
  3. Record video on Street View if Street View detects motion
    • If the following - Front Tree Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Street View Record Video (120s)
  4. Record video on Front Tree if Front Tree detects motion
    • If the following - Front Tree Motion is detected (100%)
    • Then do the following - Front Tree Record Video (60s)

 

I can't see any difference other than the wording of the "name" and the order they are listed. The actions of Work Day mode are the same as the Armed mode except that the interior cameras are not armed and the back door has a shorter recording time. Yet, what happens when I use this mode is number 2 OR 3 happen, but never 2 AND 3.

 

Why do they all do what they are supposed to do in Armed mode and not in Work Day mode? What am I missing?

Might be worth deleting the mode and recreating it.
