User Manual
Use the Arlo app for installation and setup
You must use the Arlo app to install and set up your Arlo SmartHub
and Arlo Ultra Camera. The Arlo app guides you through setup in
this order:
1. Create your Arlo account.
You use the same account to manage all your Arlo devices.
2. Connect the Arlo SmartHub to the Internet and add it to your
account.
3. Add each Arlo Ultra camera and pair it with the Arlo 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 Ultra camera consists of two parts. The camera and battery are in one part,
and the camera housing is the second part.
1. Align the battery and insert it into the
battery compartment.
The battery only inserts one way.
The LED on the Arlo Ultra camera
blinks blue.
2. Insert the camera into the camera
housing until it clicks into place.
Do this by pushing down on both the
left and right sides of the camera.
