HI,

 

I would like to utilize the Geofencing but have it activate multiple schedules, so for example Schedule 1 is Armed away, for this during the day when passing traffic is high I want it to be lower motion sensitivity and redording to that when its evening or night, Schedule 2 is Disarmed Home where during the day the camera's are disarmed but come on in the evening and night. How can I achieve this? Thanks

It sounds like you just need to create your own custom modes with appropriate settings that you could then either use the schedule or a mode using GF.  By setting a schedule with the lower sensitivity during the normal daylight hours and a second one for the other times may work for you.  Use GF to define whether to use the schedule or a specific mode for each of the Home and Away settings. That way you can mix and match as you need.

Thanks for the reply but I already have the differnet modes running off the scheule, however I need two schedules to do dofferent things depending if I am home or not. The idea here is that during the day when I am home the camera's are not armed and so will not trigger everytime a car passes for example. This will greatly prolong the battery life.

If you can't get Arlo to do what you want with custom modes AND really need two schedules , then you only have one option....

 

Add a second base unit. ( or inside Q cameras as they are stand-alone too )

 

There is no limit to the number of bases ( only camera limit by service level ) and with a second base it will operate as a second system with it's own arming/schedule/geozone /etc....

 

Split up your cameras as to needs to the two bases.
