Set Up Your System
2. Check the mobile network signal strength in the place where you want to put
your Arlo Go camera.
The easiest way to do this is to go there and check the signal strength on an
mobile phone that uses the same mobile network service. If the signal strength
is good enough, you can set up your Arlo Go camera and then look at your Arlo
Go’s signal strength in the camera’s settings.
Arlo Go Camera Position
When placing your Arlo Go camera, keep these tips in mind:
• Avoid placing the camera in an area that gets a lot of light shining directly into
the camera lens.
• You can move and zoom the field of view.
• Keep active locations in the camera’s field of view.
Arlo Go provides a 130-degree viewing angle. Position your camera so that the
space you want to monitor is within the camera’s field of view.
• Aim with the cloud.
To help with placing your camera, do a live stream from the Arlo Go camera.
Aim the camera while watching the video feed on your Arlo smartphone app to
make near-real-time adjustments to the camera’s position.
