5 Cameras - One on all the time, the rest Manual?

[earlyriser]

I have 5 Arlo Pro Cameras - Please Tell me if this is possible.

4 of the cameras I want to arm manually at random times, when I need to. These will be all at the same time. The 5th Camera needs to be armed all the time. Is this possible?

Yes, but you will have to get creative with your modes.

Mode1 - Put Cam #1 and Cam #5 (in the rules)

Mode2 - Put cam #2 and cam #5 (in the rules)

Mode3 - put cam #3 and cam #5 (in the rules)

Mode4 - put cam #4 and cam #5 (in the rules)

Now, when you arm either of those modes, cam 5 will always be armed but the only the camera for that mode will also be armed.  In the above example, mode1, that would arm cameras 1 and 5.  Mode 2, cameras 2 and 5 and so forth.  You'd have to toggle the modes manually and/or define a schedule to use which mode and which time.  Only cameras that are in the mode (rule) will be armed.

So yes, its possible, but you'll have to put some work in creating your custom modes to meet your needs.

Yes as above... some tips

ANY camera NOT in the active Mode is OFF

When creating a new mode. you add the first camera then SAVE, go back and EDIT that mode to add the second ( or more ) camera

Only ONE MODE can run at a time
