I had an Arlo wireless camera stolen in a garage break in. How do I get the serial number for the police? I can find the serial number for all of my attached camaras.

 

Also is there any way I could detect the wireless signal? I suspect the camera is still on and is somewhere in the neighborhood, would love to drive around looking for it.

 

Thanks,

Daniel

I don't know if there is a way to track the serial number...they appear when first used in your system , but many rename them . You can get the remaining ones under SETTINGS > Camera page ( the old cam # may still be there )

At least write down there remaining ones.

 

As to track the camera signal... prob not.  Also , if the camera is ON, but out of base range for a few days, the batteries go doa pretty fast

 

 

TIP... for police, always engrave/mark/scratch a number( like 5 digits , can be number/letters ) special to you for ID in any items that are portable ( on main part of camera, laptop, iphone, etc ) When no serial number available this will be enough.
