Last updated: 16.01.2025
Using advanced algorithms, your Arlo cameras alert you when a person is detected and filters out everyday movement, such as tree branches. This feature ensures that you see what is important and reduces unwanted alerts. The Person Detection feature also allows you to search the Arlo Feed for videos containing people. To use Person Detection, you need an Arlo subscription plan. For more information, visit: What Arlo subscription plans and cloud recording options are available?
