If you use an optional Arlo SmartHub or base station, we recommend placing your camera
up to 300 feet away. For information about your router's WiFi range, check with the router
manufacturer or with your internet service provider (ISP) if they installed your router.

Your Arlo camera lets you choose the quality level of the video it records. Cameras set
to high-quality video recording use more battery power than cameras set to low-quality
video recording.
•
Fine-tune the position of your camera.
Angle the camera so that it only detects motion in areas of interest. This helps reduce
unwanted recordings and triggers from motion that occur in the background.
•
Set a schedule for your camera.
If you don't need your camera to activate during all hours of the day, you can set it to wake
up and use battery power only during the hours when you need it. See
camera is armed
on page 40.
•
If your router allows it, increase the DHCP lease renewal time.
Most routers are DHCP servers that assign IP addresses to the devices on their networks.
The DHCP lease is the length of time the devices can reserve an IP address on the network.
For example, a router might use a DHCP lease renewal time of 24 hours (1440 minutes).
Increasing the DHCP lease renewal time might reduce the network traffic. For more
information, see the instructions from your router's manufacturer or your ISP if they
installed your router.
