Modes, Rules, and Smart Alerts The Geofencing editing page displays. 5. Tap Enabled Devices. The Enabled Device page displays a list of geofencing-enabled mobile devices. 6. Tap the mobile devices for which you want to enable geofencing. A check mark appears next to the device name when geofencing is enabled. Note: The device location displays as either In Zone or Out of Zone. 7. To disable geofencing, tap the mobile device again. The check mark disappears when geofencing disabled. For more information, see Set Up Geofencing on page 37. Geofencing Accuracy For accuracy, geofencing uses a combination of GPS, cellular data, and WiFi data. • In urban environments, where the cell towers and WiFi routers are more dense, geofencing accuracy can reach 100-200 meters. Note: If you live in a skyscraper, geofencing might not work reliably due to GPS inaccuracies. Using the Large radius setting might help. • In more rural areas, where cell towers and WiFi routers are sparse, geofencing accuracy can reach several hundred meters. To improve geofencing accuracy, maker sure that your mobile device meets these conditions: • WiFi is turned on. • GPS or location services are turned on. Geofencing First In, Last Out Arlo cameras use the first in, last out principal within the geofencing feature. First in, last out allows you to come and go without worrying about arming and disarming your Arlo cameras. For example, if your roommate leaves the house before you, your Arlo cameras remain disarmed because you are still in the house or geofence. After you leave the house and both devices are outside the geofence, your Arlo cameras are armed.

Geofencing First In, Last Out
Arlo cameras use the first in, last out principal within the geofencing feature.
First in, last out allows you to come and go without worrying about arming and
disarming your Arlo cameras. For example, if your roommate leaves the house
before you, your Arlo cameras remain disarmed because you are still in the house
or geofence. After you leave the house and both devices are outside the geofence,
your Arlo cameras are armed.
