1. Set Up Your System

Setting up your Arlo system involves these steps:

• set up your base station
  • register for an Arlo account
• set up and sync your cameras
  • position your cameras

Set Up Your Base Station

The base station connects to your home network and allows you to view your camera streams from anywhere.

To install your base station:

1. Connect the base station to your router using an Ethernet cable.

1. Connect the AC adapter to the base station.

1. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.

2. Press the On-Off button on the back of the base station.

The Power LED and Internet LED light green in about two minutes.

Your base station is set up.

Register for an Arlo Account

After you set up your base station, you must register for an Arlo account. Your Arlo account is linked to your Arlo system and allows you to view videos from any Internet-connected computer or mobile device.

On mobile devices, use the Arlo app for the best viewing experience. Visit the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store to download the Arlo app for iOS and Android devices.

To register for an Arlo account:

1. In a browser, enter arlo.com/login the address bar.
2. Click or tap New System Setup.
3. Complete the required fields and click or tap Continue.
4. Choose your base station's serial number from the drop-down menu and click or tap Continue.
5. Choose your time zone from the drop-down menu and click or tap Continue.
6. Choose a service plan.

Note: For more information, see Service Levels on page 33.

Your Arlo account is set up.

Set Up and Sync Your Cameras

The Basic service plan supports up to five synced cameras. You can upgrade to a paid service plan to support more cameras.

To set up your cameras:

1. Slide and hold the latch on the bottom of the camera.

1. Slide the battery door back and lift it to open the battery compartment.

2. Insert two batteries near the back of the camera. Pay careful attention to the orientation of the batteries when you insert them.

1. Insert two batteries near the compartment hinge. Pay careful attention to the orientation of the batteries when you insert them.

1. Close the battery door.

For more information, see Safe Battery Handling and Usage on page 38.

Your cameras are ready to sync.

To sync your cameras:

1. Bring the camera within one to three feet (30cm–100cm) of the base station.
2. Press and release the Sync button on the side of the base station.

1. Wait for the Sync Status LED on the base station to light green.
2. Press and release the Sync button on top of the camera.

A blue LED on the camera blinks rapidly to confirm a successful sync.

1. Repeat for each camera.

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 Position Mode on page 12.

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 6 12 feet (2 meters) between cameras. Follow these guidelines to prevent WiFi signals between the devices from interfering with each other.

When positioning your Arlo camera, keep these tips in mind:

- Keep active locations in the camera's field of view. Your Arlo camera has a 130-degree viewing angle. Position your camera so that the space that you want to monitor is within the camera's field of view.

- 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 off Position mode, or it automatically turns off after five minutes. For more information, see Position Mode on page 12.

• 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 traffic 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 flashes amber when motion is detected. Go to your camera's Settings option to turn on the Motion Detection Test feature.

Position Mode

Position mode is available only when the camera is not streaming, recording motion, or in Motion Detection mode.

To place your camera in Position mode:

1. Log in to your Arlo account at arlo.com/login.

1. Click or tap Settings.
2. Under Camera Settings, select a camera to position.

4. Click or tap Position Mode.

The camera starts streaming video.

Note: Position mode streams video as fast as possible, without buffering, so that you can aim the camera while watching on a smartphone and make near real-time adjustments to the camera position. This means that you might see lower-quality video while the camera is in Position mode.

Adjust Motion Sensitivity

You can adjust the motion sensitivity of an Arlo camera after a motion rule is applied to it.

Set Up Modes

A mode is a way to set and control automated actions. With modes, Arlo can be on the lookout for you, even when you are not logged in. Modes start working when triggered by actions that you can define. You can personalize the default modes or add your own.

You might want to create a mode in which some motion sensors and cameras are active but others are not. For example, when you are sleeping, you might want your exterior cameras to be active, but your interior cameras to be inactive.

Modes are made up of rules. To create a new mode or change an existing one, you must first create a rule. To learn more about rules and how to create your own, see Set Up Rules on page 17.

Arlo is pre-configured with two default modes:

• All motion on. The motion sensor on each camera is active. When motion is detected, the camera records a video clip and sends an email message to the primary Arlo account holder. This mode works well when nobody is at home.
• All motion off. No motion sensors are active, no video is recorded and no motion alerts are sent. This mode works well when people are at home.

Personalize Modes

Modes start working when triggered by actions that you can define. For example, you can tell Arlo to record a video clip when it detects motion.

To personalize an existing mode:

5. BATTERY WARNINGS AND SAFETY

WARNING: Using substandard or rechargeable batteries can cause injury or property damage.

Counterfeit & Inferior-Quality Battery Warning

Do not use counterfeit and/or inferior-quality lithium batteries. Such batteries can develop internal shorts and may pose a fire or burn hazard.

Avoid purchasing batteries from online-auction and other marketplace websites, as these are known sources of counterfeit and/or inferior-quality batteries.

The use of counterfeit and/or inferior-quality batteries could greatly reduce runtime and output performance, damage your Arlo wire-free cameras, and constitute a safety hazard.

Counterfeit and/or inferior-quality batteries that cause damage to your Arlo wire-free camera may void the warranty.

Counterfeit and inferior-quality batteries lack built-in fault and heat protection, which superior quality batteries contain for added safety.

For these reasons, NETGEAR recommends that you use the batteries supplied by NETGEAR with your Arlo wire-free cameras, or batteries from other high quality, established, well-known manufacturers such as Panasonic ^® , Energizer ^® , or Duracell ^® .

Arlo performance claims are based on the use of batteries that initially ship with Arlo wire-free cameras.

Rechargeable Battery Warning

Arlo wire-free cameras have been designed for use with primary, non-rechargeable batteries. For the best possible Arlo experience, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND using the non-rechargeable batteries supplied with your Arlo wire-free cameras, or non-rechargeable batteries from other high quality, established, well-known manufacturers such as Panasonic®, Energizer®, or Duracell®.

Because many rechargeable batteries on the market are counterfeits or of inferior quality, WE STRONGLY DISCOURAGE the use of any rechargeable batteries with your Arlo wire-free cameras, as they may pose a fire or burn hazard. They may also damage your camera.

TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, NETGEAR DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THE USAGE OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES IN ARLO WIRE-FREE CAMERAS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, FIRE, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, BODILY INJURY, AND/OR DEATH. A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY THAT CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE ARLO WIRE-FREE CAMERA MAY RENDER THE NETGEAR WARRANTY NULL AND VOID. YOU ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USAGE OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES IN ARLO WIRE-FREE CAMERAS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, FIRE, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, BODILY INJURY, AND/OR DEATH.

Safe Battery Handling and Usage

Batteries can EXPLODE, CATCH FIRE, and/or CAUSE BURNS if disassembled, punctured, cut, crushed, short-circuited, incinerated, recharged (disposable cells), or exposed to water, fire, or high temperatures. To ensure optimal safety and performance:

• Only use batteries that contain built-in fault and heat protection.
- DO NOT use counterfeit or inferior-quality batteries in Arlo wire-free cameras. Use only the batteries supplied by NETGEAR, or those from high quality, established, well-known manufacturers, such as Panasonic®, Energizer®, or Duracell®.
• DO NOT use rechargeable batteries.
- DO NOT place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other receptacle containing metal objects.
- DO NOT store batteries with hazardous or combustible material; store in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
- While your Arlo wire-free camera is weatherproof and safe to use outside, DO NOT allow the batteries or battery compartment to get wet prior to or during installation.
• ALWAYS keep batteries away from children.
- REPLACE ALL batteries at the same time with batteries of the same type purchased at the same time from the same manufacturer and DO NOT load batteries backwards. MAKE SURE the battery compartment is empty and free of any loose debris before inserting batteries. Follow the directions in the quick start guide and/or written on the Arlo wire-free camera.
• Follow local guidelines to dispose of used batteries.

To the extent permissible by applicable law, failure to follow these warnings and/or directions could result in damage to your Arlo wire-free cameras that will not be covered by NETGEAR's warranty.
