Geofencing accuracy
For accuracy, geofencing uses a combination of GPS, cellular data, and WiFi data.
The local environment aects geofencing as follows:
• In urban environments, where the cell towers and WiFi routers are more dense,
geofencing accuracy can reach 100–200 meters.
Note: If you live in a skyscraper, geofencing might not work reliably due to GPS
inaccuracies. Using the Large radius setting might help.
• In more rural areas, where cell towers and WiFi routers are sparse, geofencing
accuracy can reach several hundred meters.
To improve geofencing accuracy, make sure that your mobile device meets these
conditions:
• WiFi is turned on.
• GPS or location services are turned on.
Geofencing first in, last out
Arlo devices use the first in, last out principal within the geofencing feature.
First in, last out allows you to come and go without worrying about arming and
disarming your Arlo devices. For example, if your roommate leaves the house
before you, your Arlo devices remain disarmed because you are still in the house or
geofence. After you leave the house and both devices are outside the geofence,
your Arlo devices are armed.
For more information about managing multiple devices, see Geofencing with
multiple mobile devices on page 24.
Schedule your security light rules
You can set a schedule to activate and deactivate lights automatically. Schedules
recur weekly. For example, the schedule for Tuesday is repeated every Tuesday as
long as the schedule is turned on.
