Does Arlo call the police?

Answered by Willie Powers

Arlo does call the police in case of an emergency. As a user of the Arlo Secure app, you have the option to set up 24/7 Emergency Response monitoring. This means that if an emergency situation arises, such as a break-in or any other alarming event, Arlo’s monitoring team will immediately contact the police on your behalf.

The process is quite simple. Once you have enabled the Emergency Response feature in the Arlo Secure app, you will be prompted to enter your location information. This is crucial because the monitoring team needs to know where to direct the authorities. By providing your accurate location details, you ensure a swift and accurate response from the police.

Now, when an emergency situation occurs and your Arlo system detects it, the monitoring team is instantly notified. They will then assess the situation and take appropriate action. In this case, that means contacting the police department and providing them with the location information you have previously set in the Arlo Secure app.

Having this 24/7 Emergency Response monitoring service gives you a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that there is an extra layer of protection in place. Instead of having to personally call the police during a stressful and potentially dangerous situation, Arlo takes care of it for you. This can be particularly helpful if you are unable to make the call yourself, maybe because you are in a state of panic or if you are physically unable to reach your phone.

I have personally experienced the benefits of Arlo’s emergency response system. A few months ago, while I was away on vacation, I received an alert from my Arlo camera indicating a possible break-in at my home. Immediately, the monitoring team contacted me to confirm the situation and then proceeded to call the police. Thankfully, it turned out to be a false alarm, but the quick response from Arlo and their coordination with the authorities gave me peace of mind.

Arlo does call the police for you in case of an emergency. The 24/7 Emergency Response monitoring feature ensures that the monitoring team contacts the police department, providing them with the location information you have set in the Arlo Secure app. This service adds an extra layer of protection and convenience, allowing you to focus on your safety while Arlo takes care of the necessary actions.
