geofence, triggering the home state and your cameras are disarmed. If one person
leaves, but another is still home, the cameras stay disarmed in the home state until the
last person leaves (last out).
We recommend that you enable geofencing only for the mobile device that each
person carries every day. For example, if you use a smartphone and a tablet, and
you take your phone when you leave, set your phone as an enabled device in your
Geofencing settings. Don’t set your tablet as an enabled device, because Away mode
won’t be triggered when you go out and leave your tablet home.
The Geofencing mode only changes from Home to Away when all enabled mobile
devices are outside the Device Location in your Geofencing settings.
To review which mobile devices participate in geofencing, open the Arlo app and
check the Enabled Devices page in Geofencing settings (in the Modes section of
the Arlo app). Remove any devices that you don’t want to trigger Home/Away mode
changes.
Make sure that these conditions are met:
• Your Arlo devices are online.
• Geofencing is enabled.
• Your friends’ and family’s mobile devices are added to your account.
For information about adding devices, see Enable or disable geofencing for
friends’ mobile devices on page 46.
• (Required when your friend wants to participate in geofencing) Your friend is
logged in to the Arlo app on his or her mobile device and the GPS or location
service is enabled on your friend’s mobile device.
