Test motion detection
You can use the motion detection test to nd the right motion sensitivity setting for your
camera.
1. Open the Arlo app.
2. Tap Settings > My Devices.
3. Select your camera.
4. Tap Device Utilities > Motion Detection Test.
5. Move in front of the camera.
During this test, the LED blinks amber when motion is detected.
6. Move the slider to adjust the motion sensitivity level as needed.
This motion sensitivity setting is used during the motion detection test. It is not
automatically applied to the camera rules used by modes to arm your camera. When you
are satised with a particular motion sensitivity level in the test, note the setting so that
you can add it to your rules.
7. Edit the rule for your camera to enter the motion sensitivity level that you want to use.
See Change motion sensitivity on page 40.
Position your camera to detect motion in
specic areas
You can mount and aim your camera in dierent ways to optimize the camera’s ability to
detect motion in specic areas. The lower two-thirds of the camera’s eld of view is the
motion-sensitive part of the image. Aim the camera so that any motion you wish to detect
appears within this part of the image.
If you want to monitor motion closer to the camera,
such as visitors to your front door, mount the
camera at least 6.5 feet (1.9 meters) high
and aim it
so that visitors appear in the lower two-thirds of the
image. This angle works well to avoid motion alerts
for movement in the top third of the image, such as
vehicles driving by.
