5. Modes, Rules, and Smart Alerts

Modes let you use rules to set and control automated actions. With modes, Arlo Q can
be on the lookout for you, even when you are not using the Arlo app.
Arlo Q comes with the following modes:
Armed. Detection is on for this camera.
Disarmed. Detection is off for this camera.
Schedule. Manage detection based on a schedule.
Geofencing. You can use geofencing to arm, disarm, or resume a schedule mode
when you arrive at or leave a given location based on your mobile device.
If you add new modes, the Custom Mode icon
You can customize the Armed and Schedule modes and you can add new modes. You
might want to create a mode in which some motion sensors and cameras are active
but others are not. For example, when you are sleeping, you might want your exterior
cameras to be active, but your interior cameras to be inactive.
Note:
You can create different modes for the same camera, but the camera can use only
one mode at a time.

Select a Mode

You can turn modes on and off manually or set modes to activate according to a
schedule. Use the following method when you are not using a schedule to control
