• Arlo SmartHub: The Arlo SmartHub increases security by adding a secure, personal network to your router. It also helps to regulate Wi-Fi traffic, can improve battery life, and is compatible with local storage.
• Charging: You only need 2 hours of direct sunlight per day to power 50 10-second recordings, and a full charge lasts up to 6 months without sun.¹ If the battery is not initially charged via USB-C, it may take 15–25 days of direct sunlight to fully charge.
• Mounting: Mount your camera at least 7 feet (2 meters) high and aim it slightly downward for the best sensor performance. You can use the included short mount to mount this camera to the ceiling. Avoid mounting the camera in shaded areas, under eaves or roof overhangs, covered porches or patios, under heavy tree shade or branches, or in tight side yards that are between buildings.
