How to trigger siren when motion detected

surik — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 20:30:16 GMT

I am trying to set up our new Arlo Pro 2 set and would like to create a mode that will trigger siren when we are not home. I have gone into the app and added a new mode but can’t see a box to tick for adding siren if motion is detected in any of the steps in the app. Can anyone help? Thanks

When editing your rule, click on Add Device near the bottom.

I believe this is only possible in "Armed" mode, enter the Armed mode settings, select the camera that you wish to enable and go to settings, scroll down to the bottom and select "Turn Siren ON"

I just don’t seem to see that option. I clicked on Mode, then selected the base station, selected the pencil icon next to Armed, selected the camera under Rules, and here is the screenshot Of what I see under rules with a heading of “Edit Rules”. I can’t see the siren option anywhere.

I think there was a recent comment here from an Arlo moderator that you can't set this in the Armed mode. Armed is to get you going and for troubleshooting - custom modes are needed for full control.
