Hey Steve, thank you! V much appreciate this, spent a few hrs trying to work this out!
Important note/feedback: you note you can’t have multiple ‘devices’ act in response to (eg) one sensor detecting motion in a custom mode.
You *can*! This is totally the coolest thing w the modes, I think. After you set up the custom mode trigger (camera sensor detects motion), in your video you chose one action (a camera to record) then hit save.
*Instead*, before hitting save, hit the ‘add device’ button. You can then add as many actions on different devices as you want. Eg, all cameras can start recording. You can play a unique sound on your Arlo chime, to let you know someone was detected (eg) in the back yard. You can turn on an Arlo spotlight in your laundry, to scare the hell out of the intruder.
As always Steve. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Been w/ Arlo for over 5 yrs now. And the only thing that drives me crazy (still) is the delay from when the system detects motion to the time that I receive the notification on my android.
Bought The Arlo Ultra 2 9/20/20
My Mom is 85 and lives in Apt behind us.
She wants to maintain her (independence) so when we leave for overnight trip we could feel a little more at ease.
Love the product so far.
Videos are very helpful

I'm loving your videos. Straightforward. I'm learning so much from you. We decided to go with Arlo at some point. Setting up Modes this way makes so much sense and really doesn't look that complicated. Thanks! Go Pack Go.
Of all the systems I have used either privately or thru work, hands down the most intuitive system out there...will be going out today to purchase a 4th pro-2....love love love this system...I use geofencing and it works perfectly thanks for you videos
Just set up my Arlo3 the same way you did with only perimeter on when I am home. Works great. Thank you.
Another great video Steve. I've set up a few custom modes myself and really have gotten used to them. It will be great when the systems are smart enough to learn who lives in the home and activate when unusual people, cars are part of the scene. Keep up the good work my man.
I think I have watched at least five of your Arlo videos thank you for taking the time and being clear and concise and that is in your review mode.
Thank you for putting together this video. I used to use ArloAssistant/ArloPilot from Smartthings because I could automate with my home and away. However Arlo cut those off so its good to see what I was doing with Geofencing is the Arlo "best practice". I still have more tweaking to do to get it right but this is good to verify what the best practice is. I use Arlo Pro2s and Security Lights with SmartThings.
I have ten cameras (ARLO & ARLO PRO2) on two base stations that are in two different locations. I am adding two ARLO Q cameras to a third base station to be used for indoors monitoring using location mode. Thank you. You have a great site.
Currently using the Pro2 but thinking about upgrading. Thanks for the video.
I have an Arlo Pro2, and was told it could only be used around the house, but I have an acre, and one camera picks up reception at a building that is at the bottom of the property. I am impressed with the reception. I found your video to be very helpful, as written instructions are not for me, I need to see it, and the videos are the answer for me.
Thank you! I was stumped on how to group the cameras until I googled and found your video. Thumbs up!
Hey Steve, like the video. I am going to try this outdoor setting with my Arlo pro and Arlo pro 2 cameras. Paul from Louisiana.
Thanks for the great tip very helpful I needed that advice I have the Pro 3 went in pre-ordered it two days after your posted your first pro 3 video loving them so far
Your videos are very well done. Easy to listen to and all valid inputs. Recently got into smart tech and you're one of the first few channels I go to for reviews. Seriously, keep up the good work man!
That's very nice of you to say. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Always happy to hear when my videos help others. :)
Great video Steve. We have the ultra 3 camera with chime and door bell. Looking to zone the back yard to inactive when home and keep front door and driveway always active
Awesome video can’t wait to get my hands on these cameras I like the idea of geofencing. I feel that turning off cameras indoors is great. I’ll have to mess with modes to see what I can come up with.
I have a mix of Arlo 2, Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Ultra, and Arlo Pro 3. I use modes for different settings for my cameras during daytime and nighttime. Great tutorial
Great tips on customizing your Arlo system, thanks Steve! Always look forward to your videos
I wasn’t aware that you could do that. The modes have always confused me as well. Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial and showing step by step how to create a mode. I’m going to try it when I get home, thanks!
Congratulations! You won the Arlo swag bag giveaway. Please email me your address at SteveDoes@Outlook.com
Very helpful! Answered the exact question I was asking and your video allowed me to set up a custom mode very similar to yours.
I like the ability to set up the modes where they won't be using up the memory on the external hard drive I want to set up with the Arlo Pro 3 on unnecessary videos inside the house while we are home. Great info. Thanks.
Thank you for all the info/reviews you provide. Currently in the market trying to decide what camera system to choose from. Climbing up in the attack isn’t an option on running camera cables. So I’m researching all the wireless options. Thank you again for helping me narrow down to my two options, Ring or Arlo.
If your area gets sun, the solar panels are an awesome addition.
Steve, Very informative video again. I just purchased a 2 camera Pro 3 system to go along with my Arlo Pros. I am currently using scheduling mode, but will give geofencing a try after seeing your video. I hope I will have no problems setting up my new system. I plan on using both systems at the same time. My new cameras should arrive tomorrow. Wish me good luck!! I would love some Arlo swag anytime.
I have an mix Arlo 2 and 3 stetup and I like you preference of configuration and I will add it to my mix. Thanks alot for sharing.
I’m in the market for a camera system and this video has been the best details I have found. I believe I will go with the Pro 3 after watching your videos.
Just got the pro 2 today, so still finding our way around the system/app. But this will definitely help later on... so thank you.
Super helpful tip for anyone with an Arlo. I was thinking of getting the Arlo Ultra.
Arlo Pro2 user here with 4 cams. Your tutorial was very insightful so I'll be creating an Indoor, Outdoor mode (hopefully)
Very Helpful! I couldn't figure out arming separate camers. I have Pro and Pro2 system. I have also installed several Pro/Pro2 systems for friends and family. Even installed the Pro2 system for my church. I love the system and what it offers and would love to win. Motts from NJ.
I like that you go thru and explain the features. Thank you.
Thanks to you for all the info
I have the arlo essential XL and just like you steve i plan on using the mode for when I am home and when I'm away.
Amazing video, this is exactly what I needed (wish Alro made this easier for us)
Just purchased the new Arlo Pro 3 cameras and can’t wait to try the geofencing feature!
Thanks for the info, I have been debating on either ARLO or RING
Thanks for the info! Your videos led me to purchasing our Arlo Pro 3 system!
Hello just wanted to say that your videos on the Arlo ecosystem is just simply amazing. Some great insight! As you are on communication with Arlo, when do you think they would come out with a flood light? I have an Arlo pro 2 four camera system, I am waiting for the backward comparability for the Arlo ultra
When in away mode, it’s a good idea to have the indoor camera start recording when motion is detected outside. This way if some one enters your house the indoor cam will record it
I uses my modes for different times of the day. This video was extremely helpful to my lifestyle. Thank you!
I have Arlo Ultras and want to use the modes effectively as I know they’re great tools. Thanks for this video!
Great tutorial on setting up modes. I have the Arlo Pro 2 with 2 cameras and the Arlo Security Lights.
Thank for a helpful video. I have wanted to have cameras record at the same time in order to follow activity from 2 cameras in the front of my house - so when the activity leaves one camera zone it is picked up in the second camera’ zone.
Great video! I have been trying to wrap my head around these things as well. Now I understand it better. Using the Pro2 here. Thanks - now I can finish setting up my system so I don’t have hundreds of pointless video snips of me walking in and out of the door on a nice day!
Happy to help. :)
Steve, Thank you for the great videos on the Arlo systems. Your Videos convinced me to go Arlo all the way. I picked up a Pro 2, 4 camera system and set it up the same day in about 2 hours (probably more like 4) the next day I picked up an additional Pro 2. Mainly I bought the system to let me know when my 16 year old son sneaks out. I tweaked all of my Activity zones and set up the Smart notifications. I have 3 dogs and live on a corner. If I didn't use the smart notifications I would be throwing my phone across the room from all the notifications. My camera outside of the garage was making me crazy with "Person" notifications because that is where I stand when I let the dogs out. That battery only lasted about a week. I know I could pause notifications but I was looking for a better way. This video gave me the answer. I used Schedule instead of Geo fencing because I want that camera to notify me while I'm sleeping. I found your explanation to be instrumental in my setup. I am assuming that the Smart notifications will still be active with the custom mode even though I did not see that set up in the custom mode set up due to the Smart settings being in each camera setting. I will let you know if it does not use Smart notifications. Thanks again for what you do. Edit; just tested the Smart notification and they work like normal.
So that's what the "Add a Mode" is for....wasn't sure exactly sure what that entails but still a little confused about it. Haven't tried geofencing but now it's set up, thanks to you! I have the Ultra and loving it btw :)
Video was great, really helped me to use my system to its fullest extent. Will continue to follow so I can learn more. Thanks again
Very helpful to understand the modes! Thanks for doing this!
Very instructional Steve. Been using combo of geofence and schedule for a while now. Geofencing has been a little borked since the new app though. Using pro 2 and old base station. Curious if other base stations seeing problems as well.
We have an Arlo Pro. This video is just what we needed. Want outside cameras always ready to record but not inside when we are home.
I have the Ultra. As for the device(s) it is referring to a camera and spotlight combo.
In previous systems I’ve own I’ve had to make some pretty crazy trigger setups. For example you can have one camera be triggered by motion, have camera 2 record video and so on.
With a combination of IFTTT and things I can even have my cameras turn on and off depending on weather my Automower is in its area.
Though Arlo has had some serious bumps, it is currently the only system that works for me.
Always been a fan of your vids when I first purchased my Arlo Pro 2
Thank you. Will be checking in for more info often
Arlo Pro 3 Black two Set camera kit. Activated my modes just the same way you did.
Very helpful- Thanks for the great tutorial . It answered a lot of questions.
Just bought the ultra 4 camera black. Will check out the modes as soon as it gets delivered.
Arlo Pro 2, six pack. A little disappointed that the motion activation only has a range of ten feet, but will try to figure out a good work around. Will start playing with modes, just to make life easier. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for putting time stamps. Although your video didn't help me, I nonetheless could skip around. Thumbs up.
That was a great tip on how to creat a mode. Hopefully once I get an arlo system I will come back to this video
Great informative clip as always! Big thumbs up!
Steve, this was EXACTLY what I was looking for to set up a custom mode for my Arlo Pro 2 system. I was on the Arlo tech support chat for over an hour yesterday and the tech sent me instructions that did not work. Great job explaining this!
Thanks Lawrence. Glad to hear it was helpful.
I don’t yet have a ultra but I would love to win one. With my Arlo pro 1, 2 camera set up I have been having issues over the past summer with the software. The device was always taking too long to connect and always needed to be reset. Luckily this month the Arlo software seems to be fixed and is working faster than ever before. I can finally say I love my Arlos again!
I use modes similar to you...I also schedule my outdoor cameras to be only on at evening/night while I'm at home
You went thru these steps so quickly that I was almost as confused as when you started. Could you please create a video with a slow, step by step instruction so that those of us that are older, and not as tech savvy as others? I do not know why Arlo had to make setting a schedule for our cameras so non intuitive and confusing.
Thank you.
Your first statement about there was no way to have a camera active or not active, Sure there is, sure just go to setting for that camera and turn it off and leave the others on. regards to modes, they are great, I have it set up with 5 cams, do to different things during the day compared to night. Keep up the great videos
Very helpful to understand the modes as I just bought a set of Ultra cameras. 2 questions:
1. It seems to make sense to keep your perimeter cams armed while at home, however would you not be spammed with push notifications when you are sitting outside in your back garden?
2. I also would like to set up one indoor camera in the hallway, would not want to have it armed while at home except during the nighttime. Any idea how I can achieve that while at the same time having the outdoor cameras active at all times when I am home (and preferably also solving my concern from question 1)?
Many thanks!
Great info I’m looking forward to apply it to my set up. I was wondering if you have any videos on advice to what is the best placement on different scenarios so I could get a better idea on how to take advantage of the motion sensors and recognition features. Currently using Arlo pro 3 system
Hey Irwin, I don’t have a video on placement scenarios, but that video idea has been floating around for a few years now. I should just do one. :)
I have a mix of ones and twos, hoping to upgrade! Come on Black Friday sales!
Arlo Pro 2 with 4 cameras. We love the system as we try to catch the person that is ding-dong ditching our home.
Hey Steve, Very informative. Have you done anything with the " Works with Arlo"? Have been wanting to add a smart locks to my doors that would interface with Arlo.
wE just purchased the Arlo Ultra 2 and I love your helpful videos. I will watch them again tomorrow and follow your directions for modes. I like the idea of "outdoor mode". Question for you. Do the spotlights have to be on with night vision for filming?
I"m happy to hear that my videos are helpful. No you don't have to use the spotlights to record at night. You will need to turn on night vision though.
Thank you For taking the time the showers mode I did not know to think about mode. Now you have shown me thank you very much I have a pro4
Learned a lot from the video. Just bought the Arlo Pro 4 XL from Costco. I did not get the magnetic mounts. Still trying to find how to choose what motions the camers record, animal, vehicle or person.
Thanks. That helped me out a lot. Me and the wife love to go outside in the backyard but could't figure out how to setup our kids mode! PS- I still have the pro.
I use the schedule mode, with various rules between camera that are monitoring my horses.
Hi, thanks! Is everything you said about the Pro 3 bases station still current in Oct 2021?
Arlo Ultra here 1 cam, Great camera system but I need to get more cameras. :) Love video
good job explaining, MODES very important with 19 cams and 3 bases.
19?!!!! That's the most i've seen anyone post.
Thanks for the video. Do you a video on how to set them up with SmartThings hub?
Thank you for the info & video." I have Arlo three camera" Will be buying Arlo Pro 2 and Pro 3 system...This is four my Grandmother.
I want the Arlo 3........I think! Your video's are great!
I have an Arlo Ultra system. Plan to use modes to disable the indoor cameras via geofencing when our phones are within our home, and re-enable them when we leave.
Just watched your video I have added my Arlo essential Xl spotlight camera to mode
For the Arlo Ultra is there a way to set cams to continuously record? Just had someone take a few steps into my backyard but my cams didn’t detect them and start recording. I have the zone set past where the lady was walking but they weren’t triggered for some reason. Turns out the lady broke into a house soon after or before she came to my yard. Luckily I was awake and scared her off thru the window.
I've had an Arlo Pro for about a year and it worked great. Recently I notice the motion sensor is not working anymore and at night the red lights around the camera lens do not turn on anymore. I've tried restarting the camera and base but no luck. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
hello steve. i am not going to use modes right now. but if i decide to in the future this video will clear things up. i have the ultra 2 cam kit and 2 pro3 add on cameras that i love
I have 4 Arlo Ultra 2s and an Arlo Wired Doorbell. I use Arm Away when we’re gone to detect intruders, and scare away porch pirates.
Is there a way where you can do this but also schedule a your indoor cameras to turn on at night while asleep to morning when you wake up. While using geofencing. Without opening app to arm it every night
Gotta question about the door sensors
Does the sensors have a alarm that will set off automatically when triggers?
Thanks! I just bought Arlo ultra and I’m worried my wyze cam which is right next to my Arlo ultra shows weak signal but my wyze shows strong signal. Again they are in the exact same spot. Don’t know why this is happening
Thank you for all of the info!
Good information on the modes and customization.
Watch your videos with great interest and thank you! Is it possible to schedule motion? ie, a camera over my driveway would give motion alerts constantly as I wander in the driveway washing the car, putting the garbage out, etc. I do not want those motion alerts during my waking hours while I'm home. Is it possible to "schedule" motion alert notifications to function say from 10pm to 5:30am ONLY as well as retain the ability to turn all notifications on when I leave home? I'm looking for both functions. Second question, I'm thinking of buying the Pro 4 XL 3 cam/smart hub bundle from Costco. If I buy 2 bundles, I get 2 smart hubs. Do I need two smart hubs, 1 hub for each set of 3 cams? How many Pro 4 cams will 1 smart hub handle?
Thank you for you help!
Love your videos man. And would love to win! Presently I have the 2 original Arlo cams I bought when they first came out, then purchased one Arlo Pro and just this week purchased the Arlo Pro 2. When I initially tried to set up geofencing nothing would happen, but I'm hoping in the past year Arlo has fixed this issue, I'll try again this weekend. Like you, when home I want only outdoor cams active and indoor cams inactive, but while away I want all cams avtive.
Congratulations! You won the Arlo swag bag giveaway. Please email me your address at SteveDoes@Outlook.com
Hoping to have the Pro 2 or 3 up and running soon. Focusing on people entering my yard by the front gate.
Thank you for that, I have Pro 2 and it worked
1 question can u set geofencing for 2 phones so if one is away but the other is home the cameras do not activate
Hi Steve, this was helpful but, as you stated, a bit more advanced than what I was trying to learn. Modes in Arlo is a very difficult concept to grasp. It’s not intuitive to understand nor simple to set up. Do you know or can you point me to a basic setup guide? Thanks in advance!
I have the arlo ultra
I’m going to set up my system just like you
Thanks for the info ( I would love to win )
Thank you, very informative vblog.
I like that you are able to set modes. This would be useful for our dog walk area. Is there away to link to Google Home, so you can just tell Google to launch or deactivate by voice.
