Arlo Smart Connector for AI agents.

Yes, you can ask your agent to arm or disarm specific cameras or your basestation from anywhere. It works just like a voice command to secure your home.

It lets you manage your storage by asking your agent to delete old recordings. This helps you keep your cloud space clear without having to manually select files in the Arlo app.

Yes, your agent can pull a summary of the last 24 hours or fetch specific recordings from a date range you provide. It's a much faster way to review footage.

Yes, it works with all Arlo devices, including cameras, doorbells, and floodlights. It can list them all and manage their specific security states.

You can switch to any custom mode you've created in the Arlo app. Just tell your agent which mode you'd like to activate for your devices.

It can manage all the Arlo devices connected to your account. Your agent can list them all, check their status, and toggle their security settings individually.

The Arlo Smart API supports all Arlo devices including: Arlo Basestations (VMB4500, VMB5000), Arlo Cameras (Pro, Ultra, Essential, Go), Video Doorbells, Floodlight Cameras, and Arlo Lights. Use list_arlo_devices to see all devices in your account with their types and connection status.

Authenticate with the Arlo API by sending your email and password to the Arlo auth endpoint (ocapi-app.arlo.com/api/auth). The API returns an authentication token that you can use for all subsequent requests. The token should be refreshed periodically as it expires after a set duration.

Arming (mode1) enables motion detection and automatic recording on the device. When armed, the camera will detect motion, record video clips, and send alerts to your phone. Disarming (mode0) disables motion detection and recording. The camera remains powered on but won't trigger recordings. Use arming when you're away and want security monitoring, and disarming when you're home to avoid false alerts.

Use get_arlo_recordings with a date range to retrieve recordings. The response includes presignedContentUrl for each recording. these are temporary download links that expire after a set time. You can directly download the MP4 video files using these URLs. For thumbnail images, use presignedThumbnailUrl. Use get_recent_arlo_recordings for a quick way to get today's recordings.
