Use the Arlo app for installation and setup
You must use the Arlo app to install and set up your SmartHub and
Arlo Pro 3 Camera. The Arlo app guides you through setup:
1. Create your Arlo account.
You use the same account to manage all your Arlo devices.
2. Connect the SmartHub to the Internet and add it to your
account.
3. Add each Arlo Pro 3 Camera and pair it with the SmartHub.
Once you set up your Arlo account, you can access it by using the Arlo app on a
smartphone or tablet, or from a computer using a web browser. If you’re using a
computer, enter https://my.arlo.com/#/login in the address bar of the browser.
After installation, you can use the Arlo app to view your camera feed, customize alerts
and notications, create schedules for your cameras, and more.
Insert the battery into your camera
Your Arlo Pro 3 Camera consists of two parts:
• The camera and battery.
• The camera housing.
Note: The battery comes partially charged. We recommend that you fully charge the
battery before using your camera. See Charge your camera battery on page 10.
To insert the battery:
1. Align the battery and insert it into the
battery compartment.
The battery only inserts one way.
The LED on the camera blinks blue.
2. Insert the camera into the camera
housing by pushing down on both the
left and right sides of the camera until it
clicks into place.
For information about handling batteries,
see Safety rules for rechargeable batteries on page 76.
