Activate multiple cameras from one detection

H-H-C — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 17:15:18 GMT

I have several cameras inside and outside my property.

It would be helpful if I could use the detection from one camera to initiate recordings in others even if the other cameras have not picked up any motion.

Example:

Camera 1 detects motion and records, this initiates cameras 2 and 3 to record at the same time

Look forward to any suggestions.

H-H-C,

This can be done by creating a custom mode/rule for your Arlo Wire-free cameras.

Once you have created a new custom mode, additional rules can be added allowing a trigger camera to tell other cameras to record:

If motion is detected on camera A, Record on camera A.

If motion is detected on camera A, Record on camera B.

If motion is detected on camera A, Record on camera C. etc...

For more information on how to create custom modes and rules, take a look at these articles:

What are Rules and how do I create them?
