Home position is the default position where your camera returns to after a period of inactivity. Custom positions are preset camera positions you set that you can quickly navigate to or auto scan through. Once the positions are set up, they will show up under the “Pan-Tilt” toggle when viewing your camera’s live stream.
You can go to Device Settings -> Camera Positions to set up your preferred home positions and custom positions, make edits, name, or delete the positions. You can set up to 4 custom positions.
Auto scan allows you to automatically scan through your custom positions when live streaming to get a complete view of your space. You can enable Auto Scan by tapping the live stream from your Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera.
When Auto Tracking is enabled, your Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera will automatically follow and track the detected object within the camera’s field of view, until the motion stops or disappears from the field of view.
Your Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera comes with an L bracket mount and a mounting plate. You can either mount your camera on a wall or mount it to the ceiling. It is not recommended to place your Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera on a flat surface and put the camera upside down, as the camera has a PIR sensor included. Reversing the camera so it is upside down will impact the range of motion detection. For more information about mounting your camera, visit: How do I mount my Arlo Essential Outdoor camera?
Arlo Essential Pan Tilt Security Camera has motors inside to support Pan and Tilt movement. Calibration prevents drift or misalignment, which ensures consistently precise positioning.

Reduce excessive motion-triggered notifications with a Secure Plan by filtering based on type (person, package, vehicle, animal) and location within the camera’s view (e.g., driveway vs. public street).
Just press and hold on Push Notification to snooze alerts for that camera for set period of time, e.g. when gardening or washing the car.
You can even create your own custom detections for when a particular car or person is on the driveway, or a cat jumps on/off the couch.
