Arlo pro 4 mount

teresalt01 — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 18:27:00 GMT

excuse my mess…60 different projects going on. So I purchased 3 mounts from Wasserstein for my Arlo pro 4. I have had great luck w Wasserstein products. However the bolt on the mount doesn’t fit any aperture in the pro 4. The screw/bolt from the existing mount is much larger. Arlo’s site doesn’t mention the bolt size. However everything I read indicates 1/4” 20. What am I missing?

I suspect you have the "total security mount".

If that is the case, you need to get a new housing.

Thank you. That is exactly what is going on! Seems like that info should be a tad easier to find. I have 13 Pro4’s and they all have the same housing so I didn’t realize the difference.

I agree.

FWIW, the newest Pro and Ultra cameras (Pro 6 and Ultra Gen 3) don't support your mounts, so it is possible Arlo is phasing them out.

@JamesC: The compatible device list for the AntiTheft mount is very confusing, particularly for the Ultra (since it just lists a bunch of skus, you can't really see that the Gen 3 is not compatible). It should say Ultra 1 and Ultra 2. It should also list the Pro 3 and Pro 5s, since both of those models are compatible with the mount.

FWIW, it would be helpful if there was a KB article that listed the cameras by name, with all the skus for each.

@StephenB

They are def phasing out anything related to the earlier models. Ouch- the cost of the housing just isn’t worth it. One of the mount bases broke and they don’t sell just that part so basically my device is essentially bricked unless I Jerry rig something. I get driving folks to ongoing purchases but they are getting my subscription $$ every month. IMO it is a mistake to not provide ongoing support for older products. I have 4 pros and one Q that are 12 years old and still marching along and are just fine for my purposes. (Monitoring my animal coops and pens). I have been a loyal Arlo customer for 12 years (23 cameras in all as I have a large property and an Airbnb on it so makes it so much easier to keep tabs on things) but I am starting to feel rumblings of discontent in my gut.

EOL cameras for sure, and it wouldn't surprise me if that list gets larger.

FWIW, there were quite a few negative comments on the anti-theft mount. While Arlo might create a variant for the Pro 6 and Ultra 3, they could also just let it go in favor of standard mount compatibility.
