What are the available Arlo subscription plans and how much cloud recording is
Arlo Smart Alarm Detection notifies your Arlo app when your camera detects the sound of a
smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) alarm going off. Your camera records until activity stops or
for the length of time you specify (up to a maximum of 300 seconds).
Compatible alarms
We recommend that you test the compatibility of your alarm with the Alarm Detection feature.
The Alarm Detection feature recognizes these alarms:
• Smoke detectors with industry-standard T3 alarms (three intermittent beeps, followed by
a period of silence).
• Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors with industry-standard T4 alarms (four intermittent
beeps, followed by a period of silence).
The Alarm Detection feature doesn’t detect alarms with other patterns.
