Use the pairing button to wake up the camera
The button on the top of your camera is the pairing button. You can use the pairing button for different purposes, depending on whether your camera is shut down or in normal operating mode.
Pairing button

When you unbox your camera, it is shut down to reduce battery usage before installation. We recommend that you follow the instructions in the Arlo Secure App to wake and install the camera. When the camera is shut down, pressing the pairing button does the following:
· Press and hold the pairing button for 3 seconds. The camera wakes and the LED flashes blue for two minutes. Follow the instructions in the Arlo Secure App to add your camera to your Arlo account.
· Quick press. No change. The camera remains shut down.
If the LED doesn’t flash, no matter how long you press the pairing button, the camera battery is likely at 0% charge. Recharge your camera and try pressing the pairing button again.

Check the LED
The LED on the camera lights when the camera is powered on. The LED changes color and blinks depending on the camera’s charge level and to indicate the status of activities such as pairing the camera and updating the camera firmware.
· Slow blinking blue. The camera is in the process of pairing to a Wi-Fi network. · Fast blinking blue. The camera paired with a Wi-Fi network and connected. · Blinking amber. The camera is out of range, a connection error occurred during pairing, or
the camera battery charge is low (15% or less). · Alternating blue and amber. A firmware update is in process.

Find a good location for your camera
Select a location for your camera with a clear vantage point to fully optimize the wide field of view. For the best experience, choose a location with a strong Wi-Fi signal. You can check the Wi-Fi signal strength in the Arlo Secure App. For information about Wi-Fi connections, see 3. Wi-Fi Setup and Connections on page 13.

Wall mount your camera
Your camera comes with a mount, wall plate, and a screw kit. To mount, the user then takes the camera with mount attached an the arrow facing up and slides down onto the wall mount. 1. Place the mount and secure it with screws.
If you’re mounting the camera on drywall, use drywall anchors.
2. Attach the camera to the mount by using a Philips screwdriver. Screw the screw into mount into the camera while the mount’s arrow is facing in a 12 o’clock position like the image below.

Note: The Essential Outdoor Camera has one mounting hole located at the back of the camera near the charging port.
3. Tilt and swivel to adjust the camera angle.
Test motion detection
You can use the motion detection test to find the right motion sensitivity setting for your camera. 1. Open the Arlo Secure App. 2. Tap Devices and select your camera. 3. Tap the Device Settings icon on the top right corner of the screen. 4. Tap Default Mode Settings > Motion Detection Test.

5. Move in front of the camera. During this test, the LED blinks amber when motion is detected.
6. Move the slider to adjust the motion sensitivity level as needed. This motion sensitivity setting is used during the motion detection test. It is not automatically applied to the camera rules used by modes to arm your camera. When you are satisfied with a particular motion sensitivity level in the test, note the setting so that you can add it to your rules.
7. Edit the rule for your camera to enter the motion sensitivity level that you want to use.
Position your camera to detect motion in specific areas
You can mount and aim your 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 and aim it so that visitors appear in the lower two-thirds of the image. 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 23 feet (7 meters) away, the best area for motion detection is 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters) from the camera position.

3. Wi-Fi Setup and Connections
When you install and set up your camera, the Arlo Secure App guides you through the process of connecting the camera to your router’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Tips for optimal Wi-Fi performance
The distance between Wi-Fi devices can affect the Wi-Fi signal: · Maximum recommended distance. We recommend that you place your camera within
300 feet (90 meters) of your Wi-Fi router. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and the router. · Minimum recommended distance. To reduce Wi-Fi interference, allow at least 6½ feet (2 meters) between your camera and any Arlo cameras that you install. These materials can reduce Wi-Fi signal strength if they are located between Wi-Fi devices: · Unusually thick walls and ceilings · Brick · Concrete · Stone · Ceramic · Glass, especially mirrors · Metal · Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater
Connect your mobile device to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network during setup
Find your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network name and password
If you’re not sure about how to find the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network:
13

Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera 2nd Generation
· Look on your Wi-Fi router label. Many routers have a label that shows the Wi-Fi network name, which is also called an SSID. Your 2.4 GHz network name might have a 2, 2.4, or 2G at the end. Your 5 GHz network name might have a 5 or 5G at the end. If you changed your Wi-Fi settings, then check the place where you saved your custom settings.
· If your Wi-Fi network name or SSID doesn’t indicate whether it’s 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, ask your Internet service provider (ISP) or the person who set up your Wi-Fi router.
· If you have a mesh Wi-Fi network, it uses only one Wi-Fi network name for both Wi-Fi bands. The camera finds and connects to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band. As long as you connect your phone to the same mesh network, Arlo can discover the camera.
Move your camera’s Wi-Fi connection to a direct router connection
You can change your camera’s Wi-Fi connection to your router’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
To move your camera’s Wi-Fi connection directly to your router: 1. Open the Arlo Secure App and log into the same Arlo account that your camera is
connected to.
2. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
3. Make sure that your mobile device is connected to your router’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. For more information, see Connect your mobile device to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network during setup on page 13.
4. Tap Devices and then tap the Menu icon in the upper right corner.
5. Tap the Device Settings icon next to the camera you want to modify.

Plug in your camera. 2. Make sure the camera is using a motion-detection mode such as Armed away.

Detect audio alarms with your camera
To use Alarm Detection, you need an Arlo Secure subscription. For information about Arlo Secure, visit What are the available Arlo subscription plans and how much cloud recording is available? Alarm Detection notifies your Arlo Secure App when your camera detects the sound of a smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) alarm going off. Your camera records until activity stops or for the length of time you specify (up to a maximum of 300 seconds).
Compatible alarms
We recommend that you test the compatibility of your alarm with the Alarm Detection feature. The Alarm Detection feature recognizes these alarms: · Smoke detectors with industry-standard T3 alarms (three intermittent beeps, followed by
a period of silence). · Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors with industry-standard T4 alarms (four intermittent
beeps, followed by a period of silence). The Alarm Detection feature doesn’t detect alarms with other patterns. Newer smoke detectors tend to emit a T3 alarm (three intermittent beeps followed by a period of silence), and carbon monoxide detectors emit a T4 alarm (four intermittent beeps followed by a period of silence). Some examples of detector models that emit compatible T3 and T4 signals include: · Kidde i9050 · USI5304 · First Alert 0827 · First Alert P1210 · First Alert SCO5 To determine your detector’s alarm pattern, see the instructions that came with your detector or search online for product information.
Prepare a location to test your alarm compatibility
We recommend that you test your alarm to find out if it is compatible with the Arlo Alarm Detection feature. Before beginning a test, make sure that: · Your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can emit a continuous T3 or T4 pattern for

30 seconds during the test. If you’re not sure if the test button on your alarm can do this, check the instructions that came with your alarm or search online for product information. · The alarm location doesn’t generate echoes and doesn’t have sounds that are louder than the alarm. · There won’t be motion in your camera’s field of view while you conduct the alarm test. If the camera detects motion during the test, it might not be clear whether the camera also detected the alarm.
Test your alarm for compatibility with Alarm Detection
1. During the test, place your camera within two feet of your alarm. After a successful compatibility test, you can move your camera to a different location and test the Alarm Detection range.
2. Open the Arlo Secure App.
3. Go to your profile and select your camera location. 4. Tap Smart Notifications and then select a camera.
5. Tap on the Question Mark ? in the top right hand corner.
6. In the Audio Alerts section, select Smoke/CO Alarm and make sure that Other Audio is turned off.
7. Follow the instructions on your screen to test out your Alarm. Your camera must be 2 feet or less from the alarm.
8. Use the test button on your smoke or carbon monoxide detector to activate the alarm for 30 seconds. Compatible alarms sound continuously for 20 seconds in one of these patterns: · Smoke detectors with industry-standard T3 alarms emit three intermittent beeps, followed by a period of silence. · Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors with industry-standard T4 alarms emit four intermittent beeps, followed by a period of silence.

Note: Arlo cameras use battery power every time they record, so it’s important that you’re aware when you have audio alert options turned on. You can purchase spare batteries and the Arlo Dual Battery Charging station, sold separately, if desired.
Arlo recorded a video but didn’t notify you If you don’t receive and Audio Alert push notification, but a video clip labeled Audio is saved in your Arlo Library, your camera is within range of your smoke or CO detector, but it did not recognize the sound pattern as a smoke or CO alarm.
You might not be notified for these reasons: · Your smoke or CO detector did not emit a continuous T3 or T4 alarm pattern. · There is too much background noise or an echo where your camera is located. · Your alarm is not compatible with the Alarm Detection feature. We recommend that you perform the test again to confirm the results.
Arlo didn’t notify you or record a video The camera is too far from the alarm to detect it. Move your Arlo camera closer to your alarm and perform the test again.
Test the Alarm Detection range
After a successful compatibility test, we recommend that you test the Alarm Detection range when you move your camera to a different location. 1. Place your Essential Outdoor Camera in the desired location. 2. Open the Arlo Secure App. 3. Make sure that you selected Smoke/CO Alarm in the Audio Alerts setting for your camera
and that Other Audio is turned off. 4. Close the Arlo Secure App, but don’t log out. 5. Use the test button on your smoke or carbon monoxide detector to activate the alarm for
30 seconds. 6. After a successful test, aim the camera toward the area of highest interest so that you can

Arlo doesn’t discover your camera during setup
If you’re trying to set up and connect your Arlo camera directly to your Wi-Fi router and Arlo doesn’t discover your camera, here are some things to check to identify and correct the problem.
When you’re using the Arlo Secure App to add your camera, check the following:
· Make sure that you select the correct camera model when adding a device in the Arlo Secure App. The Arlo Secure App only tries to discover the Arlo device that you select. To find your camera’s model number, check the box that your camera came in.
· Your Arlo camera and mobile device are connecting to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Your camera can only connect to a 2.4 GHz band, not a 5 GHz band. For more information, see Tips for optimal Wi-Fi performance on page 13.
· You’re entering the correct Wi-Fi network SSID (network name) and password. The network SSID and password are case-sensitive and must be exactly correct. You can tap the password eye icon to view your password before submitting.
· Your mobile device and Arlo camera are within the Wi-Fi signal range of your Wi-Fi router. During setup, we recommend placing your camera within 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) of your Wi-Fi router. After the camera is set up and connected, you can move the camera any place within range of your Wi-Fi router. For more information, see Tips for optimal Wi-Fi performance on page 13.
· Check the camera LED. When you press the pairing button during setup, the LED blinks blue for two minutes while the camera is being discovered and then blinks blue fast when it connects to your Wi-Fi network. If the camera doesn’t connect to your Wi-Fi network within two minutes, it times out and the LED stops blinking. If the camera times out, press the pairing button again. Make sure that the LED blinks blue during the entire connection process. Check the LED on page 10.
Can’t see video streams in a browser
Your router might be blocking the ports to which Arlo sends data. To make sure that Arlo can stay connected, you must keep ports 443 and 80 open on your router.

Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera 2nd Generation
To troubleshoot problems with the video stream, check for the conditions in these sections: Wi-Fi signal interference on page 38, Out of range on page 38 and Low battery on page 38.
Wi-Fi signal interference
Environments with multiple Wi-Fi networks, Wi-Fi devices, or frequencies can cause signal interference. If possible, minimize the number of networks, Wi-Fi devices, and transmitted frequencies in the area where you place your camera. For help with adjusting Wi-Fi settings such as the channel for your router, check the instructions that came with your router or contact your internet service provider (ISP) if they installed your router.
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.
Make sure that your camera displays three or four bars of signal strength in the area where you intend to install it. 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. If the battery’s charge level is 25%, the Arlo Secure App displays a notification message. At 15%, the app sends you an email and a push notification.
Not receiving push notifications
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 Arlo Secure App notification settings on an iOS device
Make sure that you allow the Arlo Secure App to receive push notifications. The Arlo Secure App push notifications can be disabled on iOS and Android devices. 1. Tap the Settings icon for your iOS device. 2. Tap Notifications > Arlo.

If you said no on an iOS device, uninstall the app, wait for a day, and then reinstall it, and allow notifications. If you don’t want to wait a day before you reinstall the app, you can use the system clock on your device to simulate a day. Set the system clock forward a day or more, turn your device off, and then turn the device back on. After you reinstall the app, return the system clock to the correct setting.
