Can this system be turned on and off? Such as can I turn it on when I leave home, and have it off when I am home.

Not built-in.  You could use a cheap timer to plug the base station into available from any home improvement store to set your schedule and have it turn on/off according to your wishes.

If you mean the entire system like a "geo-fence"  ,  no, not at this time...

 

But it's a simple matter with my phone as I walk out to turn "all motion on for all cams" and turn off same when I get back... takes two button pushes.

Are there plans to make it be able to sense when smartphone leaves house and automatically turn on? When home it auto turns off?

Flamewinger,

 

While I do not have any information on future plans for this, there are several discussions on this topic in the Arlo Idea Exchange. I encourge you to take a look there and add kudos to support this idea.
