Position your camera to detect motion in
specific areas
You can mount and aim your Arlo Ultra camera in different ways to optimize the camera’s
ability to detect motion in specific areas. The lower two-thirds of the camera’s field of view is
the motion-sensitive part of the image. Aim the camera so that any motion you wish to detect
appears within this part of the image.
If you want to monitor motion closer to the
camera, such as visitors to your front door,
mount the camera at least 6.5 feet (1.9
meters) high
*
.
This angle works well to avoid motion alerts for
movement in the top third of the image, such as
vehicles driving by.
To monitor motion occurring farther away,
such as children playing on a lawn, aim the
camera higher to frame the area within the
lower two-thirds of the image.
It’s best to position the camera so that motion
is moving from side-to-side across its field of
view rather than directly toward or away from
the camera. Also, though the camera can detect
motion up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) away, the best
area for motion detection is 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6
meters) from the camera position.
*At 6.5 feet (2 meters) or higher, we recommend using the Arlo Outdoor Mount.
