A list of modes displays.

Arm or disarm all devices
You can arm or disarm all your Arlo devices simultaneously. Doing this deactivates other
modes, such as Schedule, Geofencing, and Custom modes for all your Arlo devices.
To arm or disarm all your Arlo devices:
1. Open the Arlo app.
2. Tap Modes.
3. Tap Arm All Devices or Disarm All Devices.
Note: Arming an optional Arlo SmartHub or base station automatically arms all Arlo cameras
and devices that are connected to that SmartHub or base station. If you use a SmartHub or
base station and you want to arm your indoor and outdoor cameras at dierent times, add a
custom mode to do this. See Arm only outdoor cameras connected to an optional SmartHub or
base station on page 31.
Rules for modes
Each mode uses one or more rules to control your Arlo system. You can set these options.
• Trigger device. The trigger device is the camera that detects motion. You can adjust the
motion sensitivity to minimize false alarms.
• Action device. The action device responds to motion detection on the trigger device. For
example, you might want your backyard camera or your driveway camera to trigger your
door camera to start recording video. You decide what action each camera takes when
motion is detected.
• Notications. When a trigger is detected, the Arlo can send you push noti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 a camera is triggered.
