Set Up Your System
Place or Mount Your Cameras
You can place your camera on a shelf or other
flat surface, or you can mount it on the wall.
Note: Use the Arlo app in Position mode to help aim
the camera. See Position Mode on page 16.
¾ To mount your camera on the wall:
1. Fasten the mounting screw into the
wall, and hang the magnetic mount from the
screw.
2. If you’re mounting the camera on drywall, be
sure to use the plastic drywall anchors that
are provided.
Note: You can also use double-sided tape instead
of screws.
Choose a Good Spot for Your Camera
Place your Arlo camera in a location with a clear, unblocked field of view and with a
good WiFi signal to the base station.
It’s important to keep distance in mind when placing your Arlo cameras:
• Maximum. Place your camera a maximum of 300 feet (90 meters) from the base
station. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall,
ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and base station. The
following materials reduce signal strength the most:
• Unusually thick walls and ceilings
• Brick
• Concrete
• Stone
• Ceramic
• Glass, especially mirrors
• Metal
• Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater
