The lower two-thirds of the camera’s field of view is themotion-sensitive part of the image. Aim the camera so that any motion you wish to detectappears within this part of the image.If you want to monitor motion closer to the camera,such as visitors to your front door, mount thecamera at least 6.5 feet (1.9 meters) high and aim itso that visitors appear in the lower two-thirds of theimage. This angle works well to avoid motion alertsfor movement in the top third of the image, such asvehicles driving by.To monitor motion occurring farther away, such aschildren playing on a lawn, aim the camera higherto frame the area within the lower two-thirds of theimage.It’s best to position the camera so that motion ismoving from side-to-side across its field of viewrather than directly toward or away from thecamera. Also, though the camera can detect motionup to 23 feet (7 meters) away, the best area formotion detection is 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters)from the camera position.Get Started14User Manual

3. WiFi Setup and ConnectionsWhen you install and set up your camera, the Arlo app guides you through the process ofconnecting the camera to your router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi network or to an optional Arlo SmartHubor base station.WiFi connection optionsWhen you install your camera you can connect it directly to your router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi band, oryou can connect the camera with WiFi to an Arlo SmartHub VMB5000 or VMB4540, or an Arlobase station VMB4500 or VMB4000.An Arlo SmartHub or base station isn’t included in the package with your camera. They aresold separately. Using your camera with a SmartHub or base station gives you access to theseadditional features: Use local storage on an SD card in a VMB5000 SmartHub or on a USB storage deviceconnected to the SmartHub VMB4540 or base station VMB4500 or VMB4000. Use direct storage access for SmartHubs VMB5000 and VMB4540.After you install and set up your camera, you can move its WiFi connection from your routerto a SmartHub or base station. You can also move your camera’s WiFi connection from aSmartHub or base station and connect it directly to your router’s 2.4 GHz WiFi band. To dothis, you must remove the device from your account and reinstall through the Arlo app,selecting the appropriate option to move back and forth.Tips for optimal WiFi performanceThe distance between WiFi devices can affect the WiFi signal: Maximum recommended distance. We recommend that you place your WiFi router within300 feet (90 meters) of the camera. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reducedby each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and the router. Minimum recommended distance. To reduce WiFi interference, allow at least 6½ feet (2meters) between your camera and any Arlo cameras that you install.16

Arlo Essential Series Wire-Free CameraThese materials can reduce WiFi signal strength if they are located between WiFi devices: 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 heaterConnect your mobile device to a 2.4 GHz WiFinetwork during setupIf you’re connecting your camera directly to your router’s WiFi network, it’s important tounderstand that your mobile device must connect to the same WiFi network as the cameraduring setup.Your camera can only connect to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network. Many routers broadcast WiFinetworks in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, so your phone might connect to the 5 GHz WiFiband. During setup, connect your phone to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network, then connect yourcamera to that same 2.4 GHz WiFi network.Find your 2.4 GHz WiFi network name and passwordYour phone might connect to your 5 GHz WiFi network most of the time. If you’re not sureabout how to find the 2.4 GHz WiFi network: Look on your WiFi router label.Many routers have a label that shows the WiFi network name, which is also called an SSID.Your 2.4 GHz network name might have a 2, 2.4, or 2G at the end. Your 5 GHz networkname might have a 5 or 5G at the end. If you changed your WiFi settings, then check theplace where you saved your custom settings. If your WiFi network name or SSID doesn’t indicate whether it’s 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, ask yourInternet service provider (ISP) or the person who set up your WiFi router. If you have a mesh WiFi network, it uses only one WiFi network name for both WiFi bands.The camera finds and connects to the 2.4 GHz WiFi band. As long as you connect yourphone to the same mesh network, Arlo can discover the camera.WiFi Setup and Connections17User Manual
