feed on your Arlo smartphone app to make near real‑time adjustments to the
camera's position. Go to your camera's Settings option to turn on Position mode.
After the camera is in place, you can turn off Position mode, or it automatically
turns off after five minutes. For more information, see
12.
• Elevate your camera. Mount your Arlo motion‑detection camera at least 7
feet (2 meters) above the floor and aim it slightly downward for the best sensor
performance.
• Ensure that side-to-side traffic crosses Arlo's field of view. Arlo's motion
sensor is much more sensitive to side‑to‑side movement across its field of view
than to movement directly toward or away from the camera. The best area for
motion detection is 5 feet to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 meters) from the camera position.
For best results, position the camera so that the path of expected motion crosses
Arlo's field of view and does not head directly into or away from the camera. For
example, if you want to detect motion near a couch, place the camera to the side
of the couch, rather than above it or opposite it.
