Detect audio alarms with your Pro 3
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 off. 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).
