I noticed it is possible to make a planning for the cams when they have to react on sounds or movements.

Is it also possible to do this for each cam? Because for one cam I need security for the whole day and for another one by example from 9-17.

For now I only see a planning for all the cams together. Not seperate for each cam. Is it really not possible to make a planning for each cam?

If you mean the Q camera, they actually run as a single with each having it's own Mode or schedule

OK... which format? ios, android, or web browser..

 

On web, login, goto MODES, you should see DEVICES, under which would be Arlo Base (if one) and Q cameras

So... You have multiple wire-free cameras? The scheduler accepts "Modes", not cameras. If you want all cameras to arm at the same time, you can use the default "Armed" status. If you want your cameras to have different behavior, you should create one or more new modes.

 

Example how I set it up:

 

Mode: Downstairs only (camera in the living room, kitchen and both outdoor cameras watching my front and back door)

Mode: Outside only (only the two cameras outside)

Mode: Armed (all cameras, including the one on the second floor)

 

Now.... In the scheduler I can setup which mode should run at which point in time. I actually use Geofencing now, but for the example:

 

During the day (07:00 AM - 10:00 PM): Outside only

During the night (10:00 PM - 12:00 AM and 12:00 - 07:00 AM): Downstairs only

 

And when away: manually on Armed (all cameras)

 

If you use only Q's, I cannot help you. I do not own a Q. My understanding is they are all standalone and they appear like a 'base station'. You should be able to setup a seperate schedule for each one.
