Alarm Detection test results The following sections explain the test results. Alarm Detection is working You received an Audio Alert push notification from the Arlo Secure 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 notification, 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 notified 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 confirm the results. Modes, Rules, and Alerts 47 User Manual
