Modes, Rules, and Smart Alerts
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 camera that detects motion.
• Trigger. Triggers can be motion detection on Arlo cameras. You can adjust the
camera’s sensitivity to motion to minimize false alarms.
• Devices. Motion detection on one camera can trigger another camera to
record video or take a snapshot. For example, you might want your back yard
camera or your driveway camera to trigger your door camera to start recording
video.
• Action. Each device that responds to motion can record video, take a snapshot,
or do nothing. You can adjust the length of the video recording from a minimum
of 10 seconds to a maximum of two minutes.
• Notifications. When a trigger is detected, Arlo can send you push notifications,
email alerts, or both. You can also choose to send email alerts to friends, family
members, pet sitters, or anyone who might need to respond when a camera is
triggered.
The Arlo mobile and web apps guide you through the process of setting up your
Arlo system and telling it what you want it to do, but the Arlo knowledge base also
oers detailed instructions to help you get the most out of your Arlo Smart Home
Security System.
