Push notifications to family members when away on vacation

Hi,

Just spent half a day playing around with my 2 camera Arlo HD Security setup. I'm going on vacation with my wife soon and would like Arlo to send push notifications to my dads iPhone and iPad while I'm away. Is it somehow possible without logging into the Arlo app with my personal credentials?

My dad lives only 10 minutes away and could check up on the house if someone is loitering around while we're away and it would give me a great deal of comfort since I'm a new houseowner and apparently a little apprehensive about burglars 🙂

Thanks in advance for any advice.

That's what "friends" are for. Go to Settings and grant access. There have been some issues with this so give him admin privileges to avoid them.

larschr5,

Take a look at this article for a step by step on the Grant Access process: How do I add friends to my Arlo account?

Hope this helps!
