Your Arlo Pro 2 system includes the following:
• Arlo app and Arlo account. Use the Arlo app to set up and manage your Arlo account and devices.
• Base station. The base station connects to the Internet and streams your camera feeds to your Arlo account in the cloud.
• Arlo Pro 2 cameras. Set up your cameras to detect motion and sound based on a schedule or all the time. Your cameras come with these accessories:

Your camera comes with accessories that you can use to create a custom security system to meet your individual needs.
• Insert and charge the battery. Before you use your camera wirelessly, we recommend that you charge the battery.
• For AC power indoor use, connect the AC power adapter to an indoor electrical outlet.
• If you want to use an outdoor AC power connection, you need the Arlo Pro 2 outdoor power adapter (sold separately).
Place or mount your camera
You can place your camera on a flat surface or you can mount it on a wall. Choose a location with a clear, unblocked field of view and with a good signal to your base station. Note: WiFi range can be affected by building materials or objects that block WiFi signals and by interference from other WiFi networks. To use the wall mount:
1. Fasten the mounting screw into the wall. If you’re mounting the camera on drywall, use the plastic drywall anchors we provide.
2. Hang the mount from the screw
