4. Modes, Rules, and Smart Alerts Modes and rules let you tell your Arlo system what to do in different situations. For example, you can set your Arlo system to record a 30-second video when the motion sensor is activated on a specific camera and alert you by email. Modes Modes let you tell your Arlo cameras to respond differently at different times. For example, you probably don't want to receive an alert about motion in the living room while you're doing yoga in the living room. You might want to turn on a different mode when you're away on vacation than when you're just out at the store for an hour. Arlo modes give you complete control over how your cameras respond to motion or sound. You can create your own modes, but Arlo Wire-Free comes with the following modes: Armed. Detection is on for this camera. Disarmed. Detection is off for this camera. Schedule. Manage detection based on a schedule. Geofencing. You can use geofencing to arm, disarm, or resume a schedule mode when you arrive at or leave a given location based on your mobile device. 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 are not. For example, when you are sleeping, you might want your exterior cameras to be active, but your interior cameras to be inactive. Note: You can create different modes for the same camera, but the camera can use only one mode at a time. 33

For example, you probably don’t want to receive an alert about motion in the
living room while you’re doing yoga in the living room. You might want to turn on
a different mode when you’re away on vacation than when you’re just out at the
store for an hour. Arlo modes give you complete control over how your cameras
respond to motion or sound.
You can create your own modes, but Arlo Wire-Free comes with the following
modes:
Armed
. Detection is on for this camera.
Disarmed
. Detection is off for this camera.
Schedule
. Manage detection based on a schedule.
Geofencing
. You can use geofencing to arm, disarm, or resume a schedule
mode when you arrive at or leave a given location based on your mobile
device.
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 are not. For example, when you are sleeping, you might want your
exterior cameras to be active, but your interior cameras to be inactive.
Note:
You can create different modes for the same camera, but the camera can use only
one mode at a time.
