User Manual
Rules for modes
Each mode uses one or more rules. You can set these options.
• Trigger device. If your doorbell is your only Arlo device, it is the trigger device that detects
motion. If you use additional Arlo cameras or devices, you can create rules where one Arlo
device triggers another. For example, if the someone presses the doorbell at night, an Arlo
Security Light turns on. In this example, the doorbell is the trigger device.
• Action device. If your doorbell is your only Arlo device, it’s the action device. The action
device performs an action in response to the trigger device. For example, you might want
your driveway camera to trigger your doorbell camera to start recording video. Or you
might want your Chime 2 to alert you when your Arlo Security Light detects motion. You
decide what action each camera takes.
• Notifi cations. When a trigger is detected, the Arlo Secure App can send you push
notifi cations, email alerts, or both. You can also send email alerts to friends, family
members, pet sitters, or anyone who might need to respond when your Arlo doorbell or
camera is triggered.
Trigger a Chime 2 when the doorbell is pressed
Depending on the product you purchase, the Arlo Chime 2 may be included with your Arlo
Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell, or sold separately. The Arlo Chime 2 lets you receive
instant alerts from your Arlo doorbell and your Arlo cameras.
During setup, you pair your Chime 2 with your Essential Video Doorbell. This means your
Chime 2 will ring when someone presses your doorbell button. (You don’t have to set up a
mode for that.) You can view the paired devices on the Device Settings page for the Chime 2
(Pair Doorbell) or the Device Settings page for the Doorbell (Pair Chime).
Mode rules are only used when setting up the Chime 2 as an action device to play a sound or
siren in response to a trigger, such as motion or audio from a doorbell or camera.
