- Records discreetly: The Netgear Arlo is one of the smallest cameras on the market, allowing it to discreetly record whatever's going on without it being noticed. This makes it the perfect camera to capture burglars and thieves red-handed.
- Smart notifications: You can make a monitoring schedule, control monitoring via geofencing, as well as disarm the camera's sensors entirely. This helps to cut down on useless notifications when you're already home, while also being useful for protecting your family's privacy.
- Share golden moments: Although the cameras are designed primarily for security, you can also use the Netgear Arlo to capture all the fun moments from around your home. You can even share video clips with family and friends.
- Keep track of everything: By default, you can use up to 5 Arlo cameras to keep an eye on 5 separate areas of your home. This can be expanded to 10 or 15 cameras with Netgear's Premium and Elite subscription plans.
- Just ask Google or Alexa: For those already using home-assistants like Google Home or Alexa, you can use your voice to call up the live feed from a specific camera on your phone or tablet. Not only is this more convenient, it can also help you to react quickly to security alerts.

Before it arrives (System requirements) It's happened to all of us. Our long-awaited gadget arrives, only for it not to function within our homes. Disappointment and frustration ensue. You can avoid this classic 1st world problem by reading our description of the Arlo camera's system requirements: The first thing you'll need is a connection with at least 1 Mbps of download speed. Most households should fulfill this requirement. If you're unsure of your connection's speed, contact either your Internet Service Provider or use a web or mobile app to perform a speed test. You'll also need to have a home Wi-Fi network. The Netgear Base Station needs to be directly connected to the router via Wi-Fi in order for the three Arlo cameras to function.
Placing your Arlo cameras
When it comes to getting the best performance out of your camera, the most important step you can take is to place the cameras properly. Here are some of our tips for getting the best camera performance in three vital areas: To get the best sensor performance and clearest video, it's recommended that you place the camera at least 7 feet above the ground. The best way to do so is by screwing the included camera mount at this height. It also helps to tune into the live feed when installing the camera, in order to see if the camera is recording the area which you actually wish to monitor. When it comes to keeping the camera undetectable, the best strategy is to place it against a white or neutrally colored background. Placing the camera against a colorful surface will cause the camera's white exterior to stick out, making it easier for others to detect it. Another strategy is to place it on a shelf or mantelpiece where you have different objects like books and figurines. This will make the camera look inconspicuous and disguise its function as a monitoring device. Of course, you may want to simply use the camera as a deterrent and have the camera deliberately be visible to others. While this can work well when it comes to scaring off burglars, this may also result in the burglars disabling the camera once they've spotted it.
