Siren trigger missing, model VMB4000

Forest365 — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 17:10:25 GMT

I just bought an Arlo Pro (with 3 cameras), model VMB4000, S/N 4R05887KA467A.

I am trying to create a rule that includes a siren trigger, but I cannot see the "Turn Siren ON" check box when I click on the pencil icon to edit the rule.

Is there anything wrong with the Arlo Pro that I just bought? Pleae help!

Thank you!

@Forest365

I just checked mine too and it looks like Arlo has removed that option and now one must activate the siren manually.

Simple - edit your rules and use Add Device near the bottom to add the siren to the rule.

Thank you! It works now.

I actually had a difficulty to follow it. After I clicked on Add Device, the next page displays a list of all other cameras linked to my Arlo Pro Station. I was confused on why I got on this page. I talked to Live Chat and finally realized that this step is unnecessary, and I should ignore the list of cameras, but just click on Next.

Thank you for your reply! Great thanks also to the online Live Chat.
