I tried to setup an automation which would trigger one of my Arlo cameras to capture video when it’s sensor or other sensor saw motion, however the only option I see for the camera is to turn it on or off but no video capabilities.

Look here, you might find and answer:
On the old Smartthings app you could setup a custom smart home monitor in order to have a Smartthings motion sensor trigger a recording for x minutes with an Arlo camera. Has anyone found a way to do this in the new app yet? I don’t believe they have carried this functionality over since they do not have a custom smart home monitor setting. For now, I’m still using the old app because of this. I’d rather not use IFTTT if I don’t have to but I believe its possible through that.

And another thread. They are apparently working on a new Arlo connected service that ‘might’ bring triggering recordings to Arlo cameras.
I’ve been using the Arlo Connect service in the new SmartThings app for months since I noticed that I couldn’t setup recording in the new SmartThings app Automations. At that time months ago, I removed the Arlo (SmartApp) service from the old SmartThings app, and then connected the Arlo Connect service in the new SmartThings app hoping that the ability to record using Automations would be there, but it didn’t add the capability at all.
