Connecting your Arlo camera to WiFi is a straightforward process that allows you to monitor your home or property remotely. Whether you’re using the Arlo Q, Arlo Pro, or any other model, the following steps will guide you through the process of setting up your camera on your wireless network.
1. Prepare Your Camera and Devices
Before you begin, ensure that your Arlo camera is fully charged or connected to a power source. Also, have your smartphone or tablet handy, as you will need it to download the Arlo app and configure the camera.
2. Download the Arlo App
If you haven’t already, download the Arlo app from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices). Open the app to begin the setup process.
3. Create an Arlo Account
If you don’t have an Arlo account, create one by entering your email address and setting a password. This account will be used to manage your Arlo cameras and view their footage.
4. Turn on Your Camera
Power on your Arlo camera and wait for it to initialize. Most Arlo cameras will have a small LED light that will indicate the status of the camera.
5. Join the Arlo Network
On your smartphone or tablet, open the Arlo app and follow the on-screen instructions to join the Arlo network. This typically involves scanning a QR code located on the camera’s base or on the back of the camera itself.
6. Connect to Your WiFi Network
Once your camera is detected by the app, you will be prompted to select your WiFi network from a list of available networks. Enter your WiFi password when prompted.
7. Configure Your Camera Settings
After connecting to your WiFi network, the app will guide you through the final steps of setting up your camera. This includes naming your camera, choosing a location, and setting up motion detection and notifications.
8. Test Your Camera
Once the setup is complete, it’s essential to test your camera to ensure that it is working correctly. Use the app to view live footage and test the motion detection and recording features.
9. Monitor Your Camera
With your Arlo camera connected to WiFi, you can now monitor your home or property from anywhere with an internet connection. Use the Arlo app to view live feeds, review recorded videos, and adjust camera settings as needed.
Remember that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Arlo camera and the version of the Arlo app you are using. However, following these general guidelines should help you connect your Arlo camera to WiFi and start enjoying the benefits of remote surveillance.
