I have an Arlo camera placed behind a window. the problem is that the motion detection does not work. I'd love to have the ability to creat a rule that would allow me to start recording if the motion sensor on another camera was triggered.

You can do that already... Or use a Q camera that does work thru glass.

 

Tho the Arlos do not sense thru glass, you can use another Arlo to triggger record.

Example; 2 cameras one outside, one inside.

set up a custom mode as follows

When outside detects motion, record on inside

 

to take it a step futher; use two rules in a custom mode

Outside cam detects, outside cam records

Outside cam detects, inside cam records

(so both get turned on)
