Set up geofencing
Geofencing is a virtual fence around a location called a zone. You can use Arlo
geofencing to arm, disarm, or resume schedule modes when your mobile device is
in zone or out of zone. To set up geofencing, you must use your mobile device and
allow the Arlo app to use your location.
Geofencing accuracy
For accuracy, geofencing uses a combination of GPS, cellular data, and WiFi data. The
local environment affects geofencing as follows:
• 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.
