3. Modes, rules, and smart alerts
Modes and rules let you tell your Arlo devices what to do in dierent situations. For
example, you can set up a light to trigger other lights when it detects motion and
send you a notification.
Modes
Modes let you tell your Arlo devices to respond dierently at dierent times. For
example, you probably don’t want to receive an alert about motion in the yard
when you are gardening. You might want to turn on a dierent mode when you’re
away on vacation than when you’re just out at the store for an hour. Arlo modes
give you complete control over how your Arlo devices respond to motion.
You can create your own modes, but the Arlo app comes with the following modes:
Armed. Detection is on for this device.
Disarmed. Detection is o for this device.
Schedule. Manage detection based on a schedule.
Geofencing. You can use geofencing to arm, disarm, or resume a schedule
mode when you arrive at or leave a given location based on your mobile
device.
You can customize the Armed and Schedule modes and you can add new modes.
You can create dierent modes for the same light, but the light can use only one
mode at a time.
Rules
Each mode consists of one or more rules that provide detailed instructions for
your Arlo system. For each mode, you can set the following options:
• Trigger device. The trigger device is the light that detects motion.
• Trigger. You can adjust the motion detection sensitivity to minimize false
alarms.
• Devices. Motion detection on one light can trigger another light to turn on. For
example, you might want your driveway light to trigger your front door light to
turn on.
• Action. Specify the action that occurs when motion is detected.
