Set Up Modes
A mode is a way to set and control automated actions. With modes, Arlo can be on
the lookout for you, even when you are not logged in. Modes start working when
triggered by actions that you can define. You can personalize the default modes or
add your own.
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.
Modes are made up of rules. To create a new mode or change an existing one, you
must first create a rule. To learn more about rules and how to create your own, see
Set Up Rules on page 17.
Arlo is pre‑configured with two default modes:
• All motion on. The motion sensor on each camera is active. When motion is
detected, the camera records a video clip and sends an email message to the
primary Arlo account holder. This mode works well when nobody is at home.
• All motion o. No motion sensors are active, no video is recorded and no
motion alerts are sent. This mode works well when people are at home.
Personalize Modes
Modes start working when triggered by actions that you can define. For example,
you can tell Arlo to record a video clip when it detects motion.
