I have 3 cameras. I'd like to have 2 cameras set for motion detection, but the 3rd I'd like to only turn on when I choose to view it. Currently, I have a mode where 2 cameras are set for motion detection, but the 3rd will not let me turn off motion detection. I can set it to the lowest motion sensitvitiy setting and so it does not record, but I cannot turn off notifications when the camera detects motion. I can have it send email, app notification, or both, but I cannot turn off notification.

 

I'd either like to turn off motion detection for this camera completely, remove it from the other 2 so it only works when I want to view it, or have it not send notifications when it detects motion.

 

Any ideas?

From you discription..it sounds like your using the default ARMED mode...which will turn ALL cameras on for motion detect.

 

So if you only want cams A & B but not C active ( unless manually activated ), Create a new MODE

 

You'll create a MODE with only 2 cameras active, call it something like CAM A & B ON ( or similar ) so you know what it does.

Once you set up the new mode, you can adjust the rules of the two cams to alert or not as you want.
