Add details.  A first issue may be that you're using a mobile device that's not on the same WiFi network as the base station.

Again, we need details to try to help. For starters, it may be best to use a computer to set up the system since there's no question about what network it's on. You can use a mobile device butnyou HAVE to have it connected via WiFi and not on 3G/4G.

You have the quick start guide and have downloaded the manual from this site, right?  It's all in there.

 

Basically, you go to http://arlo.netgear.com and choose the button to set up a new system.  Have you gone through that?  Are the LEDs on the base lit?  What colors?
