Arlo wireless cameras (4) and base station, How to setup modes/schedule

[TForrester]

How do you write a mode to turn exterior cameras on (2) and interior camera off (2) from 10PM to 6AM every day.  Is there a way to Schedule this or only through Mode? I am real new at this!!!

You need to create a new mode with two rules, one for each camera you want turned on. In your case, call the mode "Armed (Night)" perhaps, in order to tell it apart from the default "Armed" mode that activates all cameras.

Then edit the Scheduler and have your mode be active from 10 PM to 12 AM and from 12 AM to 6 AM on the desired days. (Modes cannot be scheduled crossing midnight, so these have to be split into two.)

Next, activate the Schedule. That's it.

If you want other combinations of cameras be active during the day, create another mode for it and place it on the Schedule accordingly.

You'll probably want all cameras active when you're out of the house, so make sure the "Armed" mode is scheduled to be active then. Whenever you deviate from the schedule you must manually activate (and deactivate) your modes. For instance, if you leave the house off schedule and you want all cameras to be active, manually switch to the "Armed" mode. When you come back home, reactivate the Schedule.

I believe that I can do this but I haven't tried as yet.  Hopefully, I can get it done this weekend.  By the way, is there anyway you can print the messages that pertain to my question, or do I simply write it down, or take a picture with my camera?

Have Armed (Night) program (I think); however, I think I messed up the original schedule as when I accidently clicked on the "Armed" note at top it offered to switch over to a blue button named Armed (Night), but I had already modified the original schedule.  I guess if it works properly tonight, I will modify it back to the original.  Maybe that will work and I will hope I can make a schedule just for Armed Night.  I am sure it is very simple to do, but it will probably take me a while.  But thanks for the print info and the original suggestion the Mode.
