How this automation works

Automatically record with your Arlo camera when you miss a phone call from a specific number. This Applet runs whenever your Android device detects a missed call from the number you specify, triggering your Arlo camera to start recording. It’s great for keeping an eye on your home or workspace when important calls are missed and you want a visual backup of what’s happening nearby.
