Arlo Pro 2 - Is it possible to add alarms so that you have more than one?

Bwink1951 — Sat, 30 Nov 2019 16:59:02 GMT

Is it possible to add alarms so that you have more than 1? If so can you place them outdoors? Is it possible to increase the volume on the 1 Arlo base alarm?

Thank you

The siren is in the base so you'd have to add a base just to get another siren.

You can set the volume in your modes and rules for when a recording is triggered. Use the Add Device selection to add the siren and adjust the volume which defaults to 100%.

There's one siren in each Pro-2 base (but keep in mind that newer bases no longer have a siren). Each camera can trigger the siren in it's base, but cannot trigger the siren in another base.

Newer cameras ( Ultra and Pro 3) have a siren built into the camera, but neither is very loud.

No. The bases aren't built for outdoor conditions.
