Tapo app more camera modes needed

So we have 2 modes: home and away, that can change all at once all cameras. What if I need a new mode, like "sleeping" when cameras downstairs need to be on detecting mode.
Home mode - outside cameras on detecting mode, indoor cameras on detecting off
Away mode - all cameras on detecting mode
Sleeping mode - outside cameras on detecting mode, indoor cameras, some on privacy and some on detecting mode.
And other combinations. Why can't we add new mode and switch between them as needed?

Bump please!
More (and customisable) camera modes; not just the single 'Home' and 'Away' options controlling ALL cameras in the account.
In my case I have 6 cameras, but spread over two properties/locations. It would be great if I could:
- Have separate Home and Away modes for each property or different zones.
- Have the cameras running all the time for surveillance, but not receive notifications unnecessarily. Hence the Privacy mode is not suitable in this case.
- Place Cameras into 'Groups' (I could only manage to do this for switches/plugs), and then have a customisable action for the Camera Group.
- Be able to automate, or set a custom mode for a Camera Group.
E.g. using a smart switch by the front door to activate/deactivate the Home/Away modes. Or use the geofence feature to automate the camera group. Or to create a 'Sleep' mode for some cameras, but not others etc.
I see that the original post by @dutchsnowden is more than a year old now. I hope this feature is being progressed!
As it is now, the single 'Home' and 'Away' options, when pressed, resets the surveillance settings for ALL cameras, and it is incredibly frustrating to have to manually re-adjust each camera's settings to get them back to their desired set-up.
Thanks!
