Hello, I have recently installed my system with 10 wireless cameras of which 6 are at the front of the house and 4 are in the back of the house. My question is, I would like motion detection to be on all the time with the cameras at front of the house but OFF on the cameras at rear of the house due to my dogs. Can someone help with how I go about setting this up? Many thanks in advance!

Modes and rules.  Use the Mode tab, click on your system and create at least two new modes.  One will be for all cameras with settings for notifications, sensitivity and duration as you prefer.  Note that to add all cameras, you'll have to create the mode, save it and then reedit it to add additional cameras.  Now, create a second mode with only the cameras you desire to be active (if a camera rule doesn't exist, it's disarmed).  Once these are created and saved, use the schedule to activate the modes appropriately, such as all cameras at night but only the fronts during the day.  You may find you need to add more modes/rules to fine tune but this should get you going.
