Hi. I have several cameras inside and outside my home, and I bought an S200 because I want to be able to activate and deactivate Home/Away mode when I come and go.

I don't want to have to open the app every time, and I want the other members of the household to also be able to enable and disable the function.

I don’t want to activate or deactivate Privacy Mode, because I want the cameras to keep recording at all times, even when we’re at home.

I just want to be able to turn off notifications and detection settings.

I thought I could do this with the S200 button, but I haven’t found a way. I also haven’t found any option to add these functions to a widget.

It’s really inconvenient to have to open the app every time I come in or leave the house, and I always end up forgetting—so I miss all the motion detection notifications. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
