== How to run arlo-cam-api on Raspbian 2025 Raspbi5 with arlo ultra 2 cameras

• create a venv with python 3.7. (miniconda, python venv etc.)
• deal with the "venv is externally managed"-problem.
• write the dnsmasq-config into /etc/dnsmasq.d/arlo.conf
• set the arlo.service to run python3.7 from the venv.
• give the .1-ip to wlan0 so dhcp works:
• ifconfig wlan0 172.14.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
• the unblock of wlan0 has to be redone after each reboot. Disabling NetworkManager (systemctl disable NetworkManager) to free wlan0 and setting the ip of wlan0 permanently makes sense.
• check the routes
• check if and which IPs the cameras get (journalctl -f) and see if you can ping them.
• stream.py basically works
