    Camera from CBS account cannot be removed.  When trying to delete the camera from Devices menu, the following message is displayed:

    • “Camera in Use” → "Cannot delete this camera because it is used by the following entities:” 

    Please note that there are 3 possible settings which disallow to delete the camera in CBS:

    2. The camera is used in an Action (such as Relay Action)
    3. The camera is used in a Service (as Trigger or as Alarm Channel)

    If your camera is selected in the Arming settings, you will not be able to remove it directly from the Devices menu and the “Camera in Use” message will be displayed.

    2. Therefore, please remove it from the Arming section first. Switch the Arming option to Manually armed and click Save Changes.
