Arlo Connect
connects your smart products and services using flows that you can download,
modify, or create using the Stringify app on your iOS device.
Motion, audio, or low battery notifications from Arlo cameras can be triggers for
Stringify flows, or Stringify flows can instruct Arlo cameras to arm, disarm, and
record video clips.
Add Arlo Cameras to the Stringify App
Stringify is compatible with Arlo Baby cameras. Your Arlo Baby camera must be
in Monitoring On mode or in a custom mode to detect motion or audio and report
it to Stringify. When an Arlo Baby camera is in Monitoring O mode, it does not
inform Stringify about motion or audio detected, but it still responds to requests to
change modes and record clips.
You can also create custom modes to detect motion or audio or both, but not
record a video clip. This can be useful for advanced flows where you want to
use the Arlo camera as a detection device, but not capture video unless other
conditions in the flow are met. For more information about creating custom modes,
see Motion Detection Activity Zones on page 52.
In advanced Stringify flows, you can use the same Arlo camera twice in the same
flow. For example, if your Arlo front door camera detects motion, it’s after 5 p.m.,
and you’re away from home, you can tell Stringify to trigger a 20-second recording
from your Arlo front door camera and a 40-second recording from your Arlo
driveway camera.
