Alarm Detection test results
The following sections explain the test results.
Alarm Detection is working
You received an Audio Alert push notication from the Arlo app on your mobile device and a
video clip labeled Smoke/CO alarm? is saved in your Arlo Library. This means that your camera
is within range of your alarm, and your alarm is compatible with the Alarm Detection feature.
Note: Arlo cameras use battery power every time they record, so it’s important that you’re
aware when you have audio alert options turned on. You can purchase spare batteries and the
Arlo Dual Battery Charging station, sold separately, if desired.
Arlo recorded a video but didn’t notify you
If you don’t receive and Audio Alert push notication, but a video clip labeled Audio is saved
in your Arlo Library, your camera is within range of your smoke or CO detector, but it did not
recognize the sound pattern as a smoke or CO alarm.
You might not be notied for these reasons:
• Your smoke or CO detector did not emit a continuous T3 or T4 alarm pattern.
• There is too much background noise or an echo where your camera is located.
• Your alarm is not compatible with the Alarm Detection feature.
We recommend that you perform the test again to conrm the results.
Arlo didn’t notify you or record a video
The camera is too far from the alarm to detect it. Move your Arlo camera closer to your alarm
and perform the test again.
Test the Alarm Detection range
Aer a successful compatibility test, we recommend that you test the Alarm Detection range
when you move your camera to a dierent location.
1. Place your Pro 4 Spotlight Camera in the desired location.
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. Make sure that you selected Smoke/CO Alarm in the Audio Alerts setting for your camera
and that Other Audio is turned o.
