How will my Arlo cameras detect people and how will they work?

[NinfaZavaleta]

I have recently purchased 4 cameras and a base to help expand my security of my property. One thing has been at the back of my mind that hasn't been really explained much in the instructions, and that would be about the system alerting authorities. If my cameras detects a person, how will the station react, and how will the authorities be alerted? I ask this because I bought this product for a better sense of security for when I leave later this week for a trip to Mexico with the family, and won't be home for approximately 2 weeks. I'll appreciate all answers

You can have the system send email alerts to friends/ family if any thing happens, they can view videos and alert police if needed
