Creating rules/Mode

[jas0042]

I have been trying to figure out how to trigger two cameras if one detects motion.  I see lots of explanations for how to do it but the options don't seem to be where people say to look.  Is this function missing?

Hi Jas0042,

     I also have been playing with rules. What I would do is create two rules:

* Rule 1: My Arlo > Mode > (Mode Name) > Camera 1 > Motion is Detected > Sensitivity > Camera 1 > Record Video > Send Alerts > Finish.

* Rule 2: My Arlo > Mode > (Mode Name) > Camera 2 > Motion is Detected > Sensitivity > Camera 1 > Record Video > Send Alerts > Finish.

Does this help?

Good luck,

Dave

Thanks so much!  I knew there must just be a button that I was not seeing.  I suppose there isn't a way to make a custom rule with Geofencing?

Jas,

There is a way to do Geofencing. It's greyed out on the PC page but available through the Arlo app.

I have yet to play with it...

Regards,

Dave

Right, I have played with the geofencing and got it to work.  What I was wondering was if there is a way to add geofencing to a custom made rule

No, it works the other way around.  When using GF, you define the mode you want to use when in and out of home.
