Camera scheduling

I love the new alarm scheduling feature.
Now, what about camera scheduling? It would be nice to schedule the rear outside camera between 10 pm and 6am for example. That way it wouldn’t be recording family movement all day.

Hi @marjay1962, 

Thank you for this suggestion! A similar request has been submitted to our dev team. When we hear from them, an update will be provided in this thread.

In the meantime, I would recommend enabling Snooze Notifications when you know that you and your family will be outside. It won't prevent the Outdoor Camera from recording, but it will pause motion notifications. You can learn more about the feature in this Help Center article.

Totally agree - should have been considered an 'essential feature' at the outset.

I sometimes get in excess of 50 (yes fifty!) notifications on outdoor camera motion detection per daytime - when our home alarm system is off.

What bugs me is that during this time, the camera must wastefully  consume power and record footage etc.

On the very rare occaisions when I have my phone screen active, there's a notification PLUS an option to sleep for 30mins.

Wht can't *this* be activated within the app? (with additional per-device scheduling?)
