Heading Out Soon? Do This Quick Camera Check First

[BrookeN]

Before you pack the snacks, find the chargers, and confidently forget at least one toothbrush, give your Arlo setup a quick pre-trip once-over.

Heading out soon? Here’s what’s worth checking before you leave. A few minutes now can save a lot of frustration while you’re away — and help keep your vacation from turning into a remote troubleshooting session.

• Battery levels — Make sure cameras have enough charge to last the trip.

• Motion alerts — Confirm notifications are working and tuned the way you want them.

• Activity Zones — Check that zones are covering the important areas, not your neighbor’s very dramatic tree.

• Camera placement — Look for anything blocking the view or causing extra motion triggers.

• Wi-Fi signal — Make sure each camera has a solid connection before you’re 600 miles away and bargaining with your router from a hotel room.
