3. Wi-Fi Setup and Connections
During installation, the Arlo Secure App guides you to connect the Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera
to your Wi-Fi router’s 2.4 GHz network, or to an optional Arlo SmartHub or base station. After
your Pro 5S 2K Camera is set up and active, you can connect it to 5 GHz network and can pair
it to a Keypad Hub (sold separately) using Arlo SecureLink connectivity.
Wi-Fi connection options for your camera
When you install your camera you will be guided to connect it directly to your router’s 2.4GHz
Wi-Fi Band, or you can connect the camera with Wi-Fi to an Arlo SmartHub VMB5000 or
VMB4540, or an Arlo base station VMB4500 or VMB4000. After camera is set up, you will have
the option to set up a 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection.
An Arlo SmartHub or base station isn’t included in the package with your camera. They are
sold separately. Using your camera with a SmartHub or base station gives you access to these
additional features:
• 2K local streaming and 2K local recording
• Auto Zoom and Tracking
• CVR (with a subscription)
• Use local storage on an SD card in a VMB5000 SmartHub or on a USB storage device
connected to the SmartHub VMB4540 or base station VMB4500 or VMB4000.
• Use remote access for SmartHubs VMB5000 and VMB4540.
After you install and set up your camera, you can move its Wi-Fi connection from your router
to a SmartHub or base station. You can also move your camera’s Wi-Fi connection from a
SmartHub or base station and connect it directly to your dual band router. Your camera has
the ability to automatically switch between the bands. To do this, you must remove the device
from your account and reinstall through the Arlo Secure App, selecting the appropriate option
to move back and forth.
