Position Your Cameras - NETGEAR ARLO PRO User Manual

¾ To mount your camera to 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 to
drywall, be sure to use the plastic
drywall anchors that are provided.
Note:
You can also use double-sided tape
instead of screws.

Position Your Cameras

Arlo's Position mode allows you to see what your camera sees. Using Position mode,
you can make sure that your Arlo camera is positioned to monitor the precise area
that you want. For more information, see
It's important to keep distance in mind when placing your Arlo cameras:
• Maximum. You can place your Arlo camera a maximum of 300 feet (90 meters)
from the base station. In indoor installations, the range might be less if metal
objects or thick walls and ceilings are between a camera and the base station.
Note:
Check the Camera LED on the base station. If it's blinking amber, the base
station detects a low data rate, a sign that a camera is too far from the base station.
• Minimum. Place your Arlo cameras at least 10 feet from the base station, and
allow at least 6½ feet (2.1 meters) between cameras. Follow these guidelines to
prevent WiFi signals between the devices from interfering with each other.
