Set Up Your System
Arlo Go Access and Cloud Storage
The Arlo Go camera is designed to connect to the cellular network. During setup,
the Arlo app uses the cellular network to find your Arlo Go camera so that you can
add the camera to your Arlo account.
After setup, the Arlo Go camera uses the cellular network to send recordings to
the cloud storage associated with your Arlo account.
For best results, we recommend placing your Arlo Go camera in a location where
the Arlo app displays at least three bars of mobile network signal strength. If your
Arlo Go camera is in an area with consistently low signal strength (two bars or
less), you might experience these problems:
• You are sometimes unable to view your camera live, or the video stream
fluctuates.
• You are sometimes unable to watch recorded videos right away.
• Notifications are sometimes delayed.
• Your battery depletes more quickly than usual because your camera spends so
much time attempting to reconnect to the network.
Optimize Mobile Network Connectivity
¾ To optimize mobile network connectivity for your Arlo Go camera:
1. Check your mobile network coverage map for the area in which you want to
use your Arlo Go camera.
Note: Cellular coverage fluctuates based on network trac and weather
conditions. If you place your Arlo Go camera near the edge of a coverage area,
your connection weakens or drops whenever the mobile network is carrying a
lot of trac in that area. Heavy rain, thunderstorms, and high humidity can also
weaken your Arlo Go’s mobile network connection.
