Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to set up my cameras to arm at sunset and go standby at sunrise, but the scheduling feature is a bit confusing. Let me walk through my experience and maybe we can figure this out together!
So, I have four cameras that I want to automatically arm when the sun sets and disarm when it rises. Sounds simple enough, right? But the scheduling interface isn’t very intuitive. I tried setting it up through the mobile app, but the options are a bit overwhelming. I’m not sure if I need to use geofencing or if there’s a better way to tie it to the sunset and sunrise times specifically.
I did some research and found that using the built-in automation features might be the key. I think I can create a rule that triggers based on the sunset and sunrise times, which should be more reliable than manual scheduling. But I’m not entirely sure how to set that up. Does anyone have experience with this kind of automation?
Another thing I’m wondering about is whether the cameras will stay armed during the night or if there’s a way to adjust their sensitivity during standby mode. I don’t want them to be too sensitive and trigger unnecessarily, but I also don’t want to compromise on security.
If anyone has successfully set up something similar, I’d love to hear about your process! Maybe we can troubleshoot together and find the best solution. Let’s keep it positive and collaborative—looking forward to your insights!
