Immediate notification from Arlo

[Kengail]

We have 3 Arlo cameras set up.  Is it possible to received immediate notification on my iPhone when motion is detected?  I do get an email alert, but may not look at my email until later and then it may be too late.

We also have a Ring video doorbell which actually does alert me immediately when motion is detected or the ring doorbell is pushed.

I think I have tried everything but nothing works.

Edit your modes and enable push notifications. If the phone settings for the app are allowed, push notifications will come immediately.

That was it!!!! I changed the settings on my phone and it worked, just like our RING!!!!!

Thanks sir.

What about a call notification or at least a "ringtone" notification instead? "IFTTT call" works only with US numbers and to me it is totally useless to have just mail or push notification if something would happen during night. I will not wake up to check my phone every push notificaiton I get during night...come on ARLO, be serious...many customers ask for that!

PS: geofencing is not working at all 😕

I used to receive immediate notification until new app installed in January.  What settings did you change on your phone to allow immediate notification?

Are your cameras in Arlo Smart?

I have arlo pro.  Is that a setting in the app?

Arlo Smart is a paid subscription. Check your subscription and see if you have Smart. If so, check Manage and Notifications in the Smart section of Settings.
