8. Modes, Rules, and Alerts
You can arm or disarm Arlo devices that detect motion or audio, either individually or all at
the same time. You can also set up a schedule to automatically arm each device. Your doorbell
always detects motion. When it is armed, it alerts you when motion is detected, and can be set
up to ring a chime
Arm or disarm all your Arlo devices
Arming or disarming all devices deactivates other modes, such as Schedule, Geofencing, and
Custom modes. To return a device to another mode, select the device and then select a mode.
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.
Modes
Arlo modes give you control over how your doorbell responds with recordings and alerts
when it detects motion. Modes let you tell your doorbell and other Arlo devices to respond
dierently at dierent times.
You can create your own modes, but the Arlo app comes with these modes:
Armed. The doorbell records and sends alerts, and can trigger a chime to ring when
triggered, depending on your rule settings.
Disarmed. The doorbell button still works. SIP calls and voicemail recordings are
saved. The doorbell camera doesn’t record or send alerts when motion is detected.
Schedule. Manage recordings and alerts based on a schedule.
Geofencing. Arm, disarm, or resume a schedule mode when you arrive at or leave
a given location based on your mobile device location.
