Thanks for the reply.
To clarify: I am aware that you can turn the notifications and motion alerts on and off.
I am asking for a scheduling option to turn the camera on (with or without notifications/ motion alerts -user choice) and off at set times. As an example- I may want the camera off during the day but want it to come on at 10pm and shut off at 7am.
Right now i have to do this manually in the existing app. One competitor already allows scheduling.
Agreed. Scheduling cameras such that they effectively sleep during hours when either notifications/security are not required would be a battery saver, and would temper the amount of notifications that aren't security-related during "off" hours. Scheduling of the cameras should be separate and distinct from alarm scheduling, although it might be preferable to allow arming the alarms to automatically turn on cameras for activity, independent of their schedule.
