The Arlo Go 2 is a versatile mobile security camera designed to provide reliable surveillance in various locations. Proper mounting is essential to ensure optimal coverage and performance. Follow these best practices to maximize your Arlo Go 2’s effectiveness.
Choosing the Right Location
Select a location that offers a clear, unobstructed view of the area you want to monitor. Avoid placing the camera where objects or foliage could block the field of view. Consider the camera’s purpose—whether for outdoor security, monitoring a driveway, or overseeing an entry point.
Optimal Height and Angle
Mount the Arlo Go 2 at a height that provides a broad perspective while preventing tampering. Typically, 7 to 10 feet above ground is ideal. Adjust the angle to cover the desired area effectively, ensuring important features like doorways or driveways are within the field of view.
Securing the Mounting Base
Use sturdy mounting hardware compatible with your chosen surface—whether wall, pole, or ceiling. For outdoor installations, weatherproof screws and anchors are recommended to withstand the elements. Ensure the mount is firmly attached to prevent movement or theft.
Power and Connectivity Considerations
Ensure the camera is within range of a reliable cellular signal for optimal connectivity. If using solar power or external batteries, position the mount to maximize exposure to sunlight or easy access for maintenance. Keep the camera’s antenna unobstructed for the best signal strength.
Testing and Adjustments
After mounting, test the camera’s view and coverage. Make adjustments to the angle or position as needed. Use the Arlo app to verify the live feed and coverage area, ensuring critical zones are monitored effectively.
Maintenance Tips
Regularly check the mount for stability and signs of wear. Clean the camera lens to maintain clear footage. Periodically review the footage to ensure the camera is functioning correctly and covering the intended area.
