How do I set up my Arlo Go 2 Camera?

The Arlo Go 2 camera works with the same Arlo app as all other Arlo cameras and devices. However, to connect your Go 2 camera to the mobile network, an activated SIM card with a mobile data plan must be inserted into the Go 2 camera.

Note: We recommend that you charge the battery before mounting your camera. The indoor charging cable that came with your camera works with most power adapters.

To set up your Arlo Go 2 camera:

  1. Launch the Arlo app or log in to my.arlo.com.
  2. Tap or click Add Device.
  3. Follow the prompts to add your Arlo Go 2 camera.

During the setup process, the Arlo app:

  • Detects the activated SIM card in your camera and attempts to access the mobile network associated with the SIM card.
  • Prompts you to scan one or more QR codes displayed in the app with your Go 2 Camera.
  • Discovers your camera and offers you the option to connect to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network. Only use this option when the camera is in range of a WiFi network.
  • Guides you through camera positioning and mounting.
