How do I set up a rule that shuts off motion detection? I can lower it to 1%, however, I don't see an option to turn it off.

Ok, Im in settings, then mode, then create new mode, I name it motion off and then there is on only three icos, if I click one they all go active, the app does not allow to activate the icons individually so how is it that I can stop the motion?

Thanks for the input on this thread.

 

As of Jan-27-2017, the ARLO NETGEAR LOGIN site, gave me this solution: - Custom MODE + several RULES for each camera.

 

Thanks.  -Nap

Continuation of above post:

PS:  I could only un-check the SEND EMAIL ALERT, by  turning Recording ON, if an Audio is detected in the family room.

           Alternative is to keep the SEND EMAIL ALERT, but send to a dummy email address.

 

 

I also mentioned the date of my custom MODE settings, above in my first post , since the ARLO NETGEAR website, seems to be in flux, each year.

 

Regards,    -Nap

Depends on what you're trying to do.  If you want all cameras disarmed so nothing is detected/recorded, use the MOde tab and use the Disarmed mode.  If you want to disable a specific camera, it may be better to use Settings, My Devices, your camera, On/Off slider. That will disable the camera rather than disarm it.

 

Or are you after something else?

I just want to turn off specific cameras motion I have 2 into living/family and other 2 into front/back yard rather than On/Off slider.
Any other options?

Unfortunately, that's not the full story.  WHEN do you want them off/disarmed?  It sounds like you need to make custom modes with only the specific cameras enabled.  Go to the Mode tab, click on your base and create a new mode. Set up one camera and save.  Reedit the new mode to add additional cameras.  Any camera with no rule is disarmed. Create another new mode with a different set of cameras if needed and perhaps use the schedule.

 

Mode 1 

-indoor camera 1

-indoor camera 2

 

Mode 2

- outdoor camera 1

- outdoor camera 2

 

Mode 3

- indoor camera 1

- outdoor camera 2

 

Mode 4

- indoor camera 1

- indoor camera 2

- outdoor camera 1

- outdoor camera 2

 

Schedule

12:00 AM - 6:00 AM - Mode 4

6:01 AM - 8:00 AM - Mode 2

8:01 AM - 4:00 PM - Mode 1

4:01 PM - 10:00 PM - Mode 3

10:00 PM - 11:59 PM - Mode 4
