6. Modes, Rules, and Alerts
Modes and rules let you tell your Arlo system what to do 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.
Modes
Arlo modes give you control over how your cameras respond to motion or sound For example,
you probably don’t want to receive an alert about motion in the living room while you’re
doing yoga there. You might want to turn on a dierent mode when you’re away on vacation
than when you’re out at the store for an hour. 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 motion sensors and cameras are active but others
aren’t. For example, when you’re sleeping, you might want your exterior cameras to be active,
but your interior cameras to be inactive.
Note: You can create dierent modes for the same camera, but the camera can only use one
mode at a time.
