5. Modes, Rules, and Alerts
You can arm or disarm your Arlo cameras and devices, and you can set up a schedule to
automatically arm each device. When your camera is armed, it detects motion. Modes and
rules let you tell your Arlo system what to do automatically in dierent situations. For
example, you can set your Arlo system to record a video when it detects motion and send you
an email alert.
Modes
Arlo modes give you control over how your Arlo cameras respond to motion. For example, you
probably don’t want to receive an alert about motion in your yard in the daytime when you’re
gardening. You might want to turn on a dierent mode when you’re away on vacation. Modes
let you tell your cameras to respond dierently at dierent times.
The Arlo app comes with these modes:
Armed. Detection is on for this camera.
Disarmed. Detection is o for this camera.
Schedule. Manage detection based on a schedule.
Geofencing. You can arm, disarm, or resume a schedule mode when you
arrive at, or leave, a given location based on your mobile device location.
You can customize the Armed and Schedule modes and you can add new modes. You might
want to create a mode in which some cameras are active but others aren’t. You can create
dierent modes for the same camera, but the camera can only use one mode at a time.
