I thought I’d have fun and give the Arlo Essential 2K Outdoor Security Cameras the names ‘Fred’ and ‘Doris’. This is mainly because the alerts ‘Person detected on Fred’ and ‘Animal detected on Doris’ made me laugh. You may be less ridiculous than me and want to give your cams more boring names (perhaps their locations). Hey, I’m not judging.
Of course, I had to download the Arlo Secure app to use and name them - and it wasn’t easy to pair the app with the devices. Holding down the cam’s button until the light blinked didn’t ensure it would pair. Weirdly, when I took each cam upstairs individually and tried this, the pairing was much more straightforward, so perhaps the app was getting confused by the fact that there were two cams in front of it?
