Ability to turn on the volume from camera on the app when an alert is triggered

Hello,

We have been using the Arlo Baby for a few month now, and it is overall a good product.

One feature that I think would make it an awesome product would be to have the ability to turn on the volume on the app when an alert is triggered. Instead of receiving an email or push notification, it would be super useful to hear the sound from the camera straight away.

I guess there may be some limitations on iPhone, so a workaround would be to set the app to play the sound continuously (which is already available), while being able to set various volume levels depending on wether an alert has been triggered.

To give you an example, we are using the app with sound on the whole night to ensure we would hear if anything went wrong. But the sound is always at the same volume.

This capability would make the Arlo baby a true baby monitor.
