Geofencing accuracy
For accuracy, geofencing uses a combination of GPS, cellular data, and WiFi data. The
local environment affects geofencing:
• In urban environments, where the cell towers and WiFi routers are more dense,
geofencing accuracy can reach 100–200 meters.
Note: If you live in a skyscraper, geofencing might not work reliably due to GPS
inaccuracies. Using the Large radius setting might help.
• In rural areas, where cell towers and WiFi routers are sparse, geofencing accuracy
can reach several hundred meters.
To improve geofencing accuracy, make sure that your mobile device meets these
conditions:
• WiFi is turned on.
• GPS or location services are turned on.
Prepare your mobile device for geofencing
1. Enable GPS or location services so that Arlo can locate your device.
2. Enable WiFi.
3. Download the Arlo app and log in on each mobile device that you plan to enable
for geofencing.
For Arlo Geofencing to work on your device, you must adjust the settings on your
Android or iOS mobile device as follows:
Android devices
• Location permission = On
• Location services = On
• Battery saver = Off
• Data limit = Off
• Airplane mode = Off
iOS (Apple) devices
• Share my location = On
• Location services = Always
• Airplane mode = Off
