Aim Your Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001) Off a Side Wall: 15-90° Swivel Mount
Custom-Fit for the Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001)
- Custom-shaped for the Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001) — Amazon ASIN B08HRNG8CR — the battery Arlo Essential Wire-Free body with USB-C charging.
- Not a universal one-size mount: other doorbell brands use different body shapes and each has its own listing on our store.
- Switching doorbells later? The base stays on the wall — grab a ~$10 Replacement Bracket for the new model.
Fix a Perpendicular or Corner Mounting Spot
The Arlo Essential's 1:1 180° head-to-toe lens shows a visitor floor to ceiling — but on a side wall the stock mount stares straight at the siding.
This adjustable 15-90° angled swivel arm mount swings the Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001) outward across a wide 15° to 90° arc so the 1:1 180° head-to-toe view lands on your visitor and the doorstep instead of the wall. Set screws lock the angle so it will not drift after the first windstorm or cold snap.
How Far It Swivels
Built for real angle correction, the angled swivel arm lets you aim across a 15° to 90° arc relative to the wall — it shines above 45°. Adjust left/right and up/down, then tighten the set screws to lock it.

Only need a small nudge (<15°) or a straight-ahead view? See our 0-35° Swivel Mount for the Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001) instead.
No Exposed Wiring at the Joint
If you're hardwiring (16-24V AC, optional trickle-charge), the wires come out of the wall, pass through the concealed channel in the swivel, run through the front Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001) bracket, and land on the doorbell terminals — nothing exposed at the joint.

Installing It on the Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001)
-
Power first. Hardwiring? Kill the doorbell circuit at the breaker. Battery-only? Skip the breaker and charge the battery first.If hardwiring, confirm power is off with a multimeter before stripping wires.
- Grab your tools. Drill, PH2 (#6 wall screws), PH1 (#4 bracket/set/doorbell screws), a level, and anchors if you're not hitting a stud.
- Pick the angle before drilling. Stand where a visitor stands, picture the line from the doorbell to that spot, and rough in that angle so you don't re-drill.
-
Mount the base. Line it up with your siding or trim and drive the #6 screws (PH2).Pilot-drill if needed and don't overtighten.
- Add the swivel. Feed the wires through the center (skip if battery) and fasten the swivel to the base with the four #4 / PH1 screws.
- Rough-set the aim. Turn it toward the walkway inside the 15-90° range and snug one or two set screws for now.
- Attach the Arlo Essential Wire-Free (AVD2001). Snap it on with the screws included with this mount (PH1). Do not reuse the stock back plate — our bracket replaces it.
-
Confirm in the Arlo Secure app, then lock. Power up, open Live View, check the framing, and tighten all set screws hand-tight.Snug is enough — don't crank the set screws.
- Redraw detection zones. In the Arlo Secure app, tighten the motion zones to the new framing so you exclude the street and the neighbor's yard.
