Hi I have just purchased the arlo camera and before i install them i wanted to know the highest recommended high you can install the camera outside, i know i must be atleast 7 feet off the ground aimed slighly downward but can i go as high as 12 feet off the ground or will this really interupt the motion sensor and it will not pick up the people below?

Motion detection for people is prob NOT the main issue for high mounting of cameras....

 

When you put cameras high , you just tend to see the tops of people's heads  , throw in a baseball cap and you see no face at all.

 

Throw in a battery change now and then and rather then a step stool ,it requires a big ladder
