Before You Start

You need the following items to mount your camera: 

  • A power drill with a 15/64 inch (6 mm) drill bit 

  • A Phillips-head screwdriver 

  • The screw mount that came in the package with your camera 

  • A pencil (optional) 

To mount your Arlo Go 2 camera: 

  1. Place the screw mount on the wall or ceiling where you plan to mount your camera. 
  2. On the wall or ceiling, use a pencil to mark the location of the three holes from the mount. The marks can be used as a guide to drill pilot holes. 
  3. Remove the screw mount from the wall. 
  4. Use a 15/64 inch (6 mm) drill bit to drill three holes into the wall. 
  5. Place the screw mount back onto the wall and align it with the drilled holes. 
  6. While holding the wall plate, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to fasten a screw into each hole. 
  7. Screw your Go 2 Camera clockwise into the screw mount. 
  8. Tilt and swivel to adjust the angle of the camera. 
  9. Twist the thumb screw and the grip clockwise to tighten the camera position.
