Can someone explain how to arm/disarm my cameras on a schedule please?
There is mention of a feature in the Ring app called "Mode Schedules" that doesn't exist in my app.There's several discussions of setting up an Alexa skill to do this via routine but none of those work and it's very confusing what is actually required.Someone please explain what is the minimum requirement to enable this feature PLEASE!

Thanks Caitlyn. I already have business class wifi. What is the minimum "security system" I can buy to enable this critical feature?We are a business and having 10 cameras send data during business hours is chewing up our bandwidth. I can manually disable the cameras but then I need to rearm later. Yes, I could setup geo fencing but I'm not the only one at this business.I see I could purchase the alarm system which comes with WiFI (which I don't want and will interfere with my existing network).Your help center article does not address my situation. Please help!

C@rayb2001 The Modes Scheduling feature is only available when you are using the [Ring Alarm Security System](https://ring.com/security-system). It does not apply to Ring Cameras or Ring Doorbells, which is why you do not see this option in your Ring app. The Help Center Article I shared in my previo

Caitlyn,It appears that I will need to purchase a Ring Security System. If I purchase the minimal system (5-piece alarm security kit), can you tell me what is the minimal configuration from these 5 pieces? (The kit is cheaper than purchasing any of the individual components -- including just the base station -- separately.)For instance, can I just configure the base station or do I also need to include the keypad?Also can you confirm weather I can disable the wifi on the base station device? Thanks,RayB

CHi @rayb2001. I checked with my team and they confirmed that with the Ring Alarm system in place, the Modes Scheduling feature will extend to any Doorbells or Cameras with Modes settings in place as well. I would still encourage you to add your feedback to our [Feature Request](https://community.rin

Hi @rayb2001. As @SolarEclipse mentioned, the Mode Scheduling feature is available for the Ring Alarm Security System, not Ring Doorbells and Security Cameras. You can find more information on this feature in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060532451-How-to-Arm-and-Disarm-Ring-Alarm-with-Mode-Schedules), and you're welcome to add suggestions on new features to our [Feature Request](https://community.ring.com/c/products/24) board. You may even find this feature already requested, or you can create your own topic there. :)
