Prepare a location to test your alarm compatibility
We recommend that you test your alarm to nd out if it is compatible with the Arlo
Alarm Detection feature. Before beginning a test, make sure that:
• Your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can emit a continuous T3 or T4
pattern for 30 seconds during the test. If you’re not sure if the test button on your
alarm can do this, check the instructions that came with your alarm or search
online for product information.
• The alarm location doesn’t generate echoes and doesn’t have sounds that are
louder than the alarm.
• There won’t be motion in your camera’s eld of view while you conduct the alarm
test. If the camera detects motion during the test, it might not be clear whether the
camera also detected the alarm.
Test your alarm for compatibility with Alarm Detection
1. During the test, place your Arlo Pro 3 Camera within two feet of your alarm.
After a successful compatibility test, you can move your camera to a different
location and test the Alarm Detection range.
2. Open the Arlo app.
3. Make sure that your Pro 3 Camera is in Armed mode or another mode in which it
can detect sound and motion.
4. Tap Settings > Smart Notications.
5. Select an Arlo Pro 3 camera.
6. In the Audio Alerts section, select Smoke/CO Alarm and make sure that Other
Audio is turned off.
