Creating rules/Mode

jas0042 — Mon, 09 Jan 2017 18:12:33 GMT

I have been trying to figure out how to trigger two cameras if one detects motion. I see lots of explanations for how to do it but the options don't seem to be where people say to look. Is this function missing?

Hi Jas0042,

I also have been playing with rules. What I would do is create two rules:

* Rule 1: My Arlo > Mode > (Mode Name) > Camera 1 > Motion is Detected > Sensitivity > Camera 1 > Record Video > Send Alerts > Finish.

* Rule 2: My Arlo > Mode > (Mode Name) > Camera 2 > Motion is Detected > Sensitivity > Camera 1 > Record Video > Send Alerts > Finish.

Does this help?

Good luck,

Dave

Thanks so much! I knew there must just be a button that I was not seeing. I suppose there isn't a way to make a custom rule with Geofencing?

Jas,

There is a way to do Geofencing. It's greyed out on the PC page but available through the Arlo app.

I have yet to play with it...

Regards,

Dave

Right, I have played with the geofencing and got it to work. What I was wondering was if there is a way to add geofencing to a custom made rule

No, it works the other way around. When using GF, you define the mode you want to use when in and out of home.
