Set Up Your System
• Aim with the cloud. Use Arlo’s Position mode to send video to the cloud as
quickly as possible. This allows you to aim the camera while watching the
video feed on your Arlo smartphone app to make near-real-time adjustments
to the camera’s position. Go to your camera’s Settings option to turn on
Position mode. After the camera is in place, you can turn o Position mode, or
it automatically turns o after five minutes. For more information, see Position
Mode on page 15.
• Elevate your camera. Mount your Arlo motion-detection camera at least 7
feet (2 meters) above the floor and aim it slightly downward for the best sensor
performance.
• Ensure that side-to-side trac crosses Arlo’s field of view. Arlo’s motion
sensor is much more sensitive to side-to-side movement across its field of view
than to movement directly toward or away from the camera. The best area for
motion detection is 5 feet to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters) from the camera position.
For best results, position the camera so that the path of expected motion crosses
Arlo’s field of view and does not head directly into or away from the camera. For
example, if you want to detect motion near a couch, place the camera to the side
of the couch, rather than above it or opposite it.
You can use the Motion Detection Test feature to verify if motion can be detected
in a camera’s current placement. The camera’s LED blinks amber when motion is
detected. Go to your camera’s Settings option to turn on the Motion Detection
Test feature.
