Use camera positioning to aim your camera

Camera positioning is available only when the camera is not streaming, recording motion, or 

using the Motion Detection test. During camera positioning, the camera streams video as fast 

as possible, without buffering. You can aim your camera while watching on your smartphone 

and making near real-time adjustments to the camera position. This means that you might 

see lower-quality video while you are positioning your camera.

To position your camera:

1.  Open the Arlo app.

2.  Tap 

Settings > My Devices

.

3.  Select the camera.

4.  Tap 

Device Utilities > Camera Positioning

.

The camera starts streaming video.  The signal strength bar indicates the WiFi signal that 

your camera is receiving at its current location.

Arm your camera to detect motion

When your camera is armed, it detects motion. You can control when your camera is armed 

using these features:

•  Arm or disarm all your Arlo cameras and devices. See 

Arm or disarm all your Arlo devices 

on 

page 26.

•  Select a mode such as Armed, Disarmed, Schedule, or Geofencing. See 

Select a mode 

on 

page 27.
