Hi,

 

I have two cameras Cam1 and Cam2.

 

Cam1 and Cam 2 are in "Away Mode" device list and only Cam1 is in "Home Mode" device list.

 

When in Home mode, I get the notifications from Cam2 as well.

 

Am I missing some setup? Or it is by design?.

Note to self:

All the cameras must be in both list. Notification/Detection/Alarm (NDA) settings must be set appropriately depending on expected behavior in the mode (Home/Away). If a camera is not in a list, it retains the NDA settings of the last mode it was set.

@leepan8 Hi, this is correct. yes  However, if you go to the camera's Device Settings page to change the notification/Detection/Alarm settings manually, the new configuration will overwrite the old settings, but won't change the settings on the Home/Away mode.

Initially, I thought that there were 3 modes: Default/Home/Away. 

 

When a camera is in the Home or Away Device list, the notification/Detection/Alarm setting is set to the programmed setup for that mode, otherwise it is in the Default mode (which is the setting programmed from the camera's device settings). This can be a good feature to have.
