Place or Mount Your Cameras

Locate a spot for your camera

You can place your camera on a shelf or
other flat surface, or you can mount it to
the wall.

Tip: Use the Arlo app in Position mode

(found in Camera Settings) to help aim the camera.

To mount your camera to the wall:

Fasten the mounting screw into the wall,
and hang the magnetic mount from
the screw.

If you’re mounting the camera to drywall,
be sure to use the plastic drywall anchors
that are provided.

Tip: You can also use double-sided tape instead

of screws.
