Detect audio alarms with your camera
To use Alarm Detection, you need an Arlo Smart subscription. For information about Arlo
Smart, visit What are the available Arlo subscription plans and how much cloud recording is
available?
Arlo Smart Alarm Detection noties your Arlo app when your camera detects the sound of a
smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) alarm going o. Your camera records until activity stops or
for the length of time you specify (up to a maximum of 300 seconds).
Compatible alarms
We recommend that you test the compatibility of your alarm with the Alarm Detection feature.
The Alarm Detection feature recognizes these alarms:
• Smoke detectors with industry-standard T3 alarms (three intermittent beeps, followed by
a period of silence).
• Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors with industry-standard T4 alarms (four intermittent
beeps, followed by a period of silence).
The Alarm Detection feature doesn’t detect alarms with other patterns.
Newer smoke detectors tend to emit a T3 alarm (three intermittent beeps followed by a
period of silence), and carbon monoxide detectors emit a T4 alarm (four intermittent beeps
followed by a period of silence).
Some examples of detector models that emit compatible T3 and T4 signals include:
• Kidde i9050
• USI5304
• First Alert 0827
• First Alert P1210
• First Alert SCO5
To determine your detector’s alarm pattern, see the instructions that came with your detector
or search online for product information.
