Alarm When Camera is Moved or Stolen

Fujur — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 23:56:08 GMT

Is there a way to make the camera's siren sound when the actual camera is picked up and transported, or knocked around? Do they have any sort of accelerometer or movement sensor inside the camera? I just bought a 4-camera Arlo Ultra package. The magnetic mounts are great, but someone can just walk up to one of these and take it from the mount in a split second with no tools or effort - and these are pretty expensive cameras. It would be great if the little camera started screaming for help and alerted the others. Any idea if this is possible?

Fujur,

Within your rules, you can set the siren to trigger when motion or audio is detected but there is no accelerator that would allow the siren to trigger when the camera is physically moved or picked up.

For more information on the Ultra siren feature, take a look here: Does Arlo Ultra have an integrated siren?

Hi,

I personally attached the cameras to their support with a steel safety strap. You could reproduce this configuration by sticking to the screw that holds the support .... Better than nothing ...
