Magnetic mount
Your Arlo Ultra system comes with a magnetic-based camera mount that lets you mount
your cameras anywhere. The mount has a built in groove where you can hide your cable and
provide strain relief if you want to keep the camera mounted and plugged into a wall source.
Install a magnetic mount
1.
Select a location for the mount up to 6.5 feet
(1.9 meters) high.
*
2. Fasten the mouting screw into a wall.
If you’re working with drywall, use the plastic
drywall anchor that we provide.
Use the plastic stopper to help guide how far
to screw it into the wall.
3. If you’re using your Ultra camera connected to
a
charging cable, wrap the excess charging cable
around the back of the mount.
*At 6.5 feet (2 meters) or higher, we recommend using the Arlo Outdoor Mount.
