You can't.  It's a closed wifi network (just used by the cameras).  You can't change it in any way.

Is there a way Arlo Support can work on a fix action for this?
At least allowing consumers to have the option to change the Broadcast SSID to something inconspicuous, instead of letting everyone know you have a security system installed and exactly what kind.
A better option would be to configure the camera’s to connect to the BSSID, and verify the AP MAC Address while making it a hidden network.
I’m assuming that ARLO and their affiliates would rather look into this issue now... it’s only a matter of time before a competent hacker finds a relationship between the Auto Generated SSID string and it’s Pre-Shared Key.
