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 camera within two feet of your alarm.
Aer a successful compatibility test, you can move your camera to a dierent location and
test the Alarm Detection range.
2. Open the Arlo app.
3. Make sure that your camera is in Armed mode or another mode in which it can detect
sound and motion.
4. Tap Settings > Smart Notications.
5. Select a camera.
6. In the Audio Alerts section, select Smoke/CO Alarm and make sure that Other Audio is
turned o.
7. Close the Arlo app, but don’t log out.
8. Use the test button on your smoke or carbon monoxide detector to activate the alarm for
30 seconds.
Compatible alarms sound continuously for 20 seconds in one of these patterns:
• Smoke detectors with industry-standard T3 alarms emit three intermittent beeps,
followed by a period of silence.
• Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors with industry-standard T4 alarms emit four
intermittent beeps, followed by a period of silence.
