5. Modes, Rules, and Alerts
You can arm or disarm your Arlo cameras and devices. When your camera is armed, it detects
motion and sound. Modes and rules let you tell your Arlo system what to do automatically
in dierent situations. For example, you can set your Arlo system to record a video when it
detects motion and send you an email alert.
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 cameras respond to motion or sound. For
example, you might want to turn on a dierent mode when you’re on vacation. Modes let you
tell your Arlo cameras to respond dierently at dierent times.
You can create your own modes, but the Arlo app comes with these modes:
Armed. Detection is on for this camera.
Disarmed. Detection is o for this camera.
Schedule. Manage detection based on a schedule.
Geofencing. You can arm, disarm, or resume a schedule mode when you
arrive at, or leave, a given location based on your mobile device location.
You can customize the Armed and Schedule modes and you can add new modes. You might
want to create a mode in which some cameras are active but others aren’t. For example, when
you’re sleeping, you might want to arm your outdoor camera and disarm your indoor camera.
You can create dierent modes for the same camera, but the camera can only use one mode
at a time.
