• Transformer (wired doorbells) — voltage and power kit requirements.
• Arlo Secure plan — recording and advanced features vary by subscription.
• Shared device access — owner vs shared user troubleshooting permissions.

Pre-install checklist

• Verify Arlo Home Security vs camera/doorbell ecosystem — wrong product category cannot enroll on hub.
• Confirm Arlo app on latest version; owner account available for setup.
• Plan device name and room in app for service clarity.
• For monitored locations: verify alarm permit and emergency contact list current.
• Have replacement batteries or transformer spec confirmed before truck roll.

Typical install sequence

1. Set up Home Security hub / SmartHub first if this is an alarm Z-Wave device.
2. Mount hardware per official template — drill, adhesive, or screw as specified.
3. Insert battery / connect power; remove pull tab if present.
4. Add Device in Arlo app; scan QR or follow in-app prompts.
5. Complete placement test (motion, contact gap, outdoor comm test) at final location.
6. Arm/disarm test or Live View test; confirm events in app history.

Camera Wi-Fi

• Run setup at final mount — signal at install location matters.
• Wire-free models may require SmartHub — verify SKU before mount.
• Update firmware after first connect in Arlo app.
