Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera

User Manual

Out of range

Make sure that your camera is close enough to receive a strong Wi-Fi signal. The range of 

your router’s Wi-Fi signal can vary depending on the router model and conditions in your 

local environment. If you pair your camera to an optional Arlo SmartHub or base station, 

we recommend that you place the camera no farther than 300 feet (90 meters) from the 

SmartHub or base station. The range might be less if metal objects or thick walls and ceilings 

are between a camera and the SmartHub or base station.

Make sure that your cameras display three or four bars of signal strength in the area where 

you intend to install them. The camera can work when signal strength is at one or two bars, 

but  might go out of range intermittently due to fluctuations in the environment.

Low battery

A low battery can cause the camera to stream intermittently. It’s time to recharge the battery 

or change it when the battery level is down to two bars on the Arlo Secure App Devices page. 

Not receiving push notifications for Arlo alerts

You must be logged in to the Arlo Secure App to receive Arlo alerts on your smartphone or 

mobile device.  Arlo registers your device for push notification when you log in. If you used the 

logout option instead of simply exiting the app, you must log back in to the app. You receive 

Arlo alerts even if your device is sleeping.

Check the rules for armed modes

Check the rules in your modes. Make sure that push notification is enabled in the Armed mode 

or in a custom mode if you created one.
