How do I set up notifications or alerts?

With Arlo cameras, you can choose to receive email alerts and push notifications when motion or sound is detected on each camera that’s connected to your base station. You can also choose to send email alerts to someone else or to multiple people.

 To edit the notifications associated with a camera, you must edit the modes and rules for that camera. For more information about modes and rules, visit What are modes and rules and how does Arlo use them?.

To set up email alerts or push notifications:

1. Launch the Arlo app or log in to your Arlo account at my.arlo.com.
