Tips to Prevent
False Alarms
By optimizing settings in the Arlo Secure App:
• Adjust motion sensitivity for the Sensor and Keypad Sensor Hub.
• Increase Exit Delay and Entry Delay duration to give you more time when leaving
the house or entering your PIN when returning home.
• Turn on the
Pet Sense
feature to reduce motion sensor triggers from pets
weighing less than 40 lbs.
• If you set up an automated Arming schedule, ensure it’s up to date to match your
family’s arriving and departing activities.
• Turn on the
Use PIN for Arming
feature if you have young children or pets.
By optimizing device placement:
• Motion detection can be triggered by common household items or motions. This
can include floating or shiny objects, rotating fans, flickering lights, and blinds or
curtains that may move by air from an open window or fan. Avoid placing your
Sensor or Keypad Sensor Hub where these objects are within the motion detection
zone or remove items that may cause a false alarm.
• Clean all placement surfaces with an acohol wipe and firmly press the Senor or
Magnet onto the surface for secure adhesion, to avoid detecting a false Open
event.
