Help with setting up my Arlo Pro

[egarza735]

I just installed our new Arlo Pro and so far we love it however there are still lot's of things we don't know how to make work.....hope somebody can help me with these two items:

1) How do I adjust this system so that motions at furthest distance that camera can see will record. My camera at the front of the house will record anything that moves in our driveway but nothing further even though if I tap on Live we can see a lot further down the street. ?

2) Even reading the Manuel I cannot figure out how to make my Siren's work, could somebody please help?

Welcome!

1. You will need to edit your recording mode eg Armed or the mode you made yourself. You then need to edit the rules in the mode. Next to the camera detecting motion, there is a pencil or a > symbol. Press that and you'll get a slider than changes the motion sensitivity from 0-100. It will probably be set on stock 80. Shift that up to 100. Each time you get a false activation eg tree sways in wind or a car drives by, within 30 minutes of another false activation, turn down the sensitivity one or two. Eventually, you'll find the perfect sensitivity for that location and camera position. It also pays to remember than the motion sensor is a PIR and has a max range of about 25 feet. The camera can see much further than this but the motion sensor can't

2. The siren is also activated according to the rules in your recording mode. When you edit a rule, scroll down and you should see an option to "Turn Siren ON". The siren is very loud and there is no delay between motion detection and the siren going off so just remember that. You can also manually activate the siren in the device list. It's the base station name with the bell icon beside it. You can also turn OFF the siren with the button on top of the base station (the sync button)

Hope that helps
