Can motion detection trigger playing a warning message by Arlo camera (to scare an intruder away)?

I guess you could get tricky with a computer that looks for specific emails (from Arlo) that would set off a recording through speakers. You'd need to use an email client other than the typical as well as scripting to parse emails and set off a trigger. Linux or a port of a Linux text-based email client to your favorite OS. Not for the novice but I think it could be done.

Prob the best solution is an alarm system with the Arlo used in conjuction WITH said system... remember that Arlo wasn't designed as a 24/7 security unit buts really adds to an alarm system.

That said, there will prob be ( in future, as its been hinted at online by reviewers ) add-ons to Arlo... the base has two usb ports available.... time will tell.
