Turning Off or Snoozing Camera Motion Detection
I have had two different systems for two different houses since this past summer and have been wondering about the ability of turning off the cameras in one move.
At my current house, I have four outdoor cameras, and when I work outside (something I do at least once a week if not more), my and my wife's phone (who is usually at work teaching) is constantly getting notifications that motion is being detected. I do get the option to snooze, but it only comes up when there is motion, can only be done for each individual camera, and the most I can snooze it for is 60 minutes (I am rarely outside for less than that amount of time, most of the time multiple hours or all day).
If I know I am going to be outside, I have to go into each camera and go through what seems to be a countless number of steps to turn off the motion detection on each camera. When I am done, I have to do this again. Is there a way to turn off/on all the cameras all at once or maybe snooze them for say 4 or 8 hours all at once? Or is there a way where the user can create their own modes, where the cameras can be set up differently, other than the three that are available (off/home/away)?

@wareagle00 The short answer is no, but some good news too. When I or a contractor is working outside, the cameras are configured to send to my phone a push alert. I tap on "Snooze for 1 hour" on each and that's it, no notifications for an hour, and then they turn back on. Not perfect, but better than the current alternative.
Also, you can now shut off motion sensors in "off" state. This is very recent, but to have one button to do this on all of the cameras, and then to turn back on again.
