How do I integrate my Arlo cameras into the Wink app?

This article applies to:

Wink is a smart home automation platform that is compatible with Arlo Wire-Free, Arlo Pro, Arlo Q, and Arlo Q Plus cameras. Wink is not currently compatible with Arlo Baby, Arlo Pro 2, or Arlo Go cameras.

The Wink app gives you access to the following features of your Arlo cameras:

  • The most recently recorded video
  • Motion detection
  • Sound detection (on Arlo Pro, Arlo Q, and Arlo Q Plus only)
  • An activity feed that shows when a camera was added as well as when motion (and sound) is detected
  • Low battery notifications (for Arlo Wire-Free and Arlo Pro only)
