15-90° Perpendicular-Wall Mount for the Arlo Essential Wired (AVD1001)
Custom-Fit for the Arlo Essential Wired (AVD1001)
- Custom-shaped for the Arlo Essential Wired (AVD1001) — Amazon ASIN B07YMV9VMT — the slim 1st-gen hardwired Arlo Essential body (screw terminals, no battery).
- 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.
Aim It Where Visitors Actually Stand
The Arlo Essential Wired's 1:1 180° head-to-toe lens has to face the doorstep. On a side wall, the flat factory plate points it at the wall.
This adjustable 15-90° perpendicular-wall pivot mount swings the Arlo Essential Wired (AVD1001) 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.
Adjustable Side-Wall Angle, Locked in Place
Built for real angle correction, the perpendicular-wall pivot 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 Wired (AVD1001) instead.
Wires Stay Tucked Inside the Swivel
If the doorbell is hardwired (16-24V AC), the wires come out of the wall, pass through the concealed channel in the swivel, run through the front Arlo Essential Wired (AVD1001) bracket, and land on the doorbell terminals — nothing exposed at the joint.

Installing It on the Arlo Essential Wired (AVD1001)
-
Power first. Kill power to the doorbell circuit at the breaker before you touch the wires.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 Wired (AVD1001). 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.
