It is highly recommended to create a dedicated Arlo account for use with this plugin and share your cameras from your main account, as Arlo only permits one connection to their servers per account. Using a separate account allows you to use the Arlo app or website simultaneously with this plugin.

The plugin should work with any mailbox that supports IMAP, but so far has been tested with Gmail. To configure a Gmail mailbox, see [here](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en) to see the Gmail IMAP settings, and [here](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en) to create an App Password. Enter the App Password in place of your normal Gmail password.

## General Setup Notes
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
* Ensure that your Arlo account's default 2FA option is set to either Email or SMS.
|
|
20
|
+
* Motion events notifications should be turned on in the Arlo app. If you are receiving motion push notifications, Scrypted will also receive motion events.
|
|
21
|
+
* Disable smart detection and any cloud/local recording in the Arlo app. Arlo Cloud only permits one active stream per camera, so any smart detection or recording features may prevent downstream plugins (e.g. Homekit) from successfully pulling the video feed after a motion event.
|
|
22
|
+
* It is highly recommended to enable the Rebroadcast plugin to allow multiple downstream plugins to pull the video feed within Scrypted.
|
|
23
|
+
* If there is no audio on your camera, switch to the `FFmpeg (TCP)` parser under the `Cloud RTSP` settings.
|
|
24
|
+
* Prebuffering should only be enabled if the camera is wired to a persistent power source, such as a wall outlet. Prebuffering will only work if your camera does not have a battery or `Plugged In to External Power` is selected.
|
|
25
|
+
* Either RTSP or DASH streams can be pulled from Arlo Cloud. It is recommended to use RTSP for the lowest latency streams. DASH returns finicky codecs and may require additional FFmpeg output arguments, e.g. `-vcodec h264 -bf 0`.
|
|
26
|
+
|
|

Note that streaming cameras uses extra Internet bandwidth, since video and audio packets will need to travel from the camera through your network, out to Arlo Cloud, and then back to your network and into Scrypted.
