Panic mode to text alert local Police-EMS-Fire

Intergration with a "panic" button, and/or ability to configure Arlo system with manual means to alert the police. I can see how you could have Police emailed and texted with the current system but that would produce a lot of false 911's.

 

I'm think if I were home I could press a "panic button" that would alert police AND give them acces to the system/video library and live feeds (for the Arlo Q they could then talk with me about my sistuation).

It could be a handy feature to add a "panic" button into the app that you could press while viewing the live camera feed.  This would dial 911, or a number you could input such as the local police.  This would allow you to continue to monitor the video while the call is being placed.  It could be set up to only work with the live video feed.

Wilzy,

 

Not a bad idea at all, thank you for sharing!

Would be great to have a "panic" mode that texted/called local police-fire-medics. Thoughts?

Maybe an IFTTT recipe?

I don't use IFTTT (If This Then That) myself but may start dabbling in it in the future.  It's a way of connecting various smart devices to operate together through a set of instructions.  There's a hub involved which (I guess) provides the interconnection between the disparate devices.

 

Go to ifttt.com if it sounds useful.  There are folks here that have experience with this that may be able to help.

I have relocated this topic to the Arlo Idea Exchange as there is not currently any mode or features that do this within the Arlo system.

 

As suggested above Arlo now works with IFTTT which could be a good solution. Take a look at the announcement, along with a link to the Arlo IFTTT channel here: Introducing IFTTT Integration

Is it possible for something like this to work?
