How to stop / pause my wireless video doorbell from recording and notification

Karl8333 — Sat, 14 May 2022 08:19:19 GMT

Hello. We have a small patio outside our front door that we use often during summer for barbecuing and relaxing in the sun, when we have it here in Norway. Usually 7 days in July 😂. Joking.

So my problem is every time me or my family moves I’ll get a notification from Arlo. Which is good it works. But same time very annoying since we are home and outsid the door. So back to my question. Can I stop or pause it while we are outside or must I take it down every time we sit outside?
Hope for answers
Best regards Karl

Yes.

You can mute the notifications from the app. That will stop the notifications, but not the recordings.

You can also disarm the doorbell when you are outside, which will disable both notifications and recordings. If you use this approach, you of course need to remember to rearm the doorbell when you go back inside.

Disarm? Is that removing it and put it back. ? Or is there an options in the app?

It's in the app. Press "mode" on the top screen. If the doorbell is connected to your home wifi, you'll see it listed there. If it's connected to a base/smarthub, you'll see the base. Either way, it will list the current mode (likely Armed).

Press the device, and you can change the mode to disarmed.

Press "settings" on the main page and you will see "Mute Notifications" You can set the mute time to 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or 24 hours. Notifications will automatically restart when the time expires.

Note this will supress all notifications (from all cameras in the account).
