Stopping Notifications

devensky — Wed, 10 May 2023 13:45:02 GMT

I recently purchased Arlo products for a specific purpose; I am not using this for security where I want or need to be notified every time there is movement identified on the camera, but instead, I have the cameras so that I can have visibility for an elderly parent's home in key areas so that I can view if there's a problem. The thing is, I don't want Arlo to send me a text message every time one of the four cameras identified motion.

I see there's a way to pause for 24 hours, but is there a way to stop notifications completely and just allow a live feed and/or recording without notifications? One option would be to have everything deactivated and only activate when we need to view, but that won't help identify if there's a problem.

Thanks in advance!

One follow-up comment... if there's a way to send notifications to an email address rather than texting, that may be an option.

Yes, just edit the camera rules (in the mode).

If your app interface shows "Library", then this guide will help:

If your app interface shows "Feed" and "Dashboard", then use this guide:
