2. Tap Settings > Mute Notications.

A message displays conrming that you are muting notications. The Mute Notication
status shows the amount of remaining time until notications resume.

The Mute Notications status changes to O.
Rules for modes
Each mode uses one or more rules to control your Arlo system. You can set these options.
• Trigger device. The trigger device is the camera that detects motion or sound. You can
adjust the motion and sound sensitivity to minimize false alarms.
• Action device. The action device responds to motion or sound detection on the trigger
device. For example, you might want your backyard camera or your driveway camera to
trigger your door camera to start recording video. You decide what action each camera
takes when motion or sound is detected.
• Notications. When a trigger is detected, the Arlo can send you push notications, email
alerts, or both. You can also send email alerts to friends, family members, pet sitters, or
anyone who might need to respond when a camera is triggered.
