Arlo Continues to Record After Motion Stops

Using advanced AI, your Arlo security cameras alert you when important motion is detected and filter out everyday movement, such as tree branches. This feature ensures that you can see and react to important motion happening on your camera.

Note: Arlo's advanced motion detection and rich push notifications are available to Arlo Secure, Arlo Secure Plus, and Arlo Smart subscribers. Learn more about Arlo plans: Arlo subscription plans and cloud recording.

Motion detection options

You can activate any combination of the following features in the Arlo Secure app to determine what kind of motion alerts you want to receive.

• Person Detection. With the Arlo Person Detection feature, you receive real-time alerts when people approach your home. The person detection feature also allows you to search your recording library for videos containing people. For more information, visit: What is Arlo's person detection feature?
• Package Detection. The Package Detection feature allows you to receive rich notifications when your Arlo camera sees a package being picked up or dropped off. With Package Detection turned on in the Arlo Secure app, your camera detects packages as small as a shoe box. For more information, visit: What is the Arlo package detection feature?
• Animal and Vehicle Detection. The Vehicle Detection feature detects cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes, and bicycles, and allows you to receive rich notifications when your Arlo camera detects a vehicle. The animal detection feature allows you to receive rich notifications when your Arlo camera detects an animal. It detects any animal larger than a small rodent.

• Alarm Detection. The Alarm Detection feature notifies you on the Arlo Secure app when an Arlo camera hears a smoke and/or carbon monoxide (CO) detector's alarm. Your Arlo camera records until activity stops or for a fixed length of time. For more information, visit: What is the Arlo smoke and CO alarm detection feature?

When important motion is triggered on your camera, you will first receive a push notification with a thumbnail image from the video. Once the video has completed recording, a second push notification is sent to replace the first, providing a thumbnail video preview.
