What are Desktop Notifications and how do I enable them for my Arlo system?

Desktop Notifications are notifications for your Arlo devices that display on PC and Mac desktops or laptops.

Desktop Notifications will appear any time your camera is configured to send a Push Notification to your mobile device. For example, if your Front Door camera is configured to send a Push Notification when motion is detected and Desktop Notifications are enabled, you will receive the notification on your PC or Mac.

  • Most current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari
  • The browser used must be set as a trusted browser.

    Note:
    If the browser is not a trusted browser, the option will not be displayed.
