Position your camera to detect motion in specific areas You can mount and aim your Arlo Pro 3 Camera in different ways to optimize the camera's ability to detect motion in specific areas. The lower two-thirds of the camera's field 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. *At 6.5 feet (2 meters) or higher, we recommend using the Arlo Outdoor Mount.
