Warning: Do not leave the doorbell outdoors without the battery installed. Doing so can result in water intrusion into the doorbell. To charge the battery before installation:
1. Connect the rechargeable battery to the USB charging cable that came in the package. The charging cable works with most power adapters. LED 2. Charge the battery to 100%. The battery LED lights red during charging, then turns green when the battery is fully charged. Note: If you havent installed your doorbell yet, we recommend that you wait to insert the battery into the doorbell until you are ready to follow the steps in the Arlo app to install and set up your doorbell. 8 Use the Arlo app for installation and setup You must use the Arlo app to install and set up your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell. The Arlo app guides you through installation and setup:

Once you set up your Arlo account, you can access it by using the Arlo app on a smartphone or tablet, or from a computer using a web browser. If youre using a computer, enter https://
my.arlo.com/#/login in the address bar of the browser. Tips for optimal WiFi performance The distance between WiFi devices can affect the WiFi signal:
Maximum recommended distance. Place your WiFi router within range of your doorbell. The maximum line-of-sight range of your WiFi router is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the doorbell and the router. Minimum recommended distance. To reduce WiFi interference, allow at least 6 feet (2 meters) between your doorbell and any Arlo cameras that you install. These materials can reduce WiFi signal strength if they are located between WiFi devices:
Unusually thick walls and ceilings Brick Concrete Stone Ceramic Metal Glass, especially mirrors Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater Get Started 9 Essential Wire-Free Video DoorbellUser Manual Connect your mobile device to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network during setup If youre connecting your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell directly to your routers WiFi network, its important to understand that your mobile device must connect to the same WiFi network as the doorbell during setup. Your doorbell can only connect to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network. Many routers broadcast WiFi networks in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, so your phone might connect to the 5 GHz WiFi band. During setup, connect your phone to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network, then connect your Video Doorbell to that same 2.4 GHz WiFi network. Find your 2.4 GHz WiFi network name and password Your phone might connect to your 5 GHz WiFi network most of the time. If youre not sure about how to find the 2.4 GHz WiFi network:
Look on your WiFi router label. Many routers have a label that shows the WiFi network name, which is also called an SSID. Your 2.4 GHz network name might have a 2, 2.4, or 2G at the end. Your 5 GHz network name might have a 5 or 5G at the end. If you changed your WiFi settings, then check the place where you saved your custom settings. If your WiFi network name or SSID doesnt indicate whether its 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, ask your Internet service provider (ISP) or the person who set up your WiFi router. If you have a mesh WiFi network, it uses only one WiFi network name for both WiFi bands. The doorbell finds and connects to the 2.4 GHz WiFi band. As long as you connect your phone to the same mesh network, Arlo can discover the doorbell. Connect your iOS (Apple) device to a 2.4 GHz network 1. Unlock your device and tap Settings. 2. Tap Wi-Fi, near the top of the list of Settings options. 3. Turn on WiFi by tapping the switch next to Wi-Fi at the top. Note: WiFi is activated when the switch is green. 4. Select a 2.4 GHz WiFi network. This is commonly indicated by a 2, 2.4, or 2G at the end of the network name. 5. If prompted, enter the password for the network. When youre connected to the WiFi network, a blue check mark appears to the left of the network name.

Arlo Chime 2 21 Essential Wire-Free Video DoorbellUser Manual 4. Optional: Connect a wired chime The Essential Wire-Free Doorbell comes with a rechargeable battery, which provides power to the doorbell. Wiring is not required for installation. If you want to hardwire your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell, you can. Hardwiring your doorbell lets you connect it to your homes existing chime and allows the doorbell to trickle charge when its not in use. Voltage requirements If you choose to wire your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell, the voltage must be 8 24 VAC and a transformer is required. If your voltage doesnt meet the power requirements, and you need to install or upgrade a transformer, contact a licensed electrician or visit arlo.com for information about installation services. We recommend that you check the voltage on the transformer that powers your existing doorbell before installing your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell. If the transformers voltage isnt 8 24 VAC, you must upgrade your transformer before you use the doorbell. You can check the voltage level of your doorbell transformer by one of these methods:
Use a multimeter to test the voltage. A multimeter is an electronic tool that measures the precise voltage level of your existing doorbell wiring. Using a multimeter gives you the most accurate estimate of your transformers voltage, and it can be done without finding the transformer. We recommend that you measure at the existing doorbell wiring or at your chime. Check if the voltage is printed on the transformer that provides power to your existing doorbell. The estimated voltage is commonly printed on transformers. This is typically accurate, but it isnt as precise as using a multimeter. 22 Use a multimeter to check the voltage of a transformer 1. Disconnect your existing doorbell. To do this, unmount or unscrew your existing doorbell to expose the wiring or AC terminals on the back. 2. Set your multimeter to AC (the V with a wavy line on top or next to it). 3. Connect the two probes from the multimeter to the wires from your doorbell. 4. Read the voltage level on your multimeters display to make sure itis between 8-24 VAC Check the voltage level printed on the doorbell transformer A doorbell transformer is a device that steps down your household AC voltage to a lower voltage suitable for powering an electric doorbell. Sample doorbell transformer The transformer is typically found:
In the front closet near your existing doorbell Near your houses circuit breaker In the basement or attic In the garage Near your houses furnace In the crawl space under your house Optional: Connect a wired chime 23 Essential Wire-Free Video DoorbellUser Manual Change from wire-free to wired installation If you already set up your doorbell wire-free, and now want to hardwire it, you must first remove the doorbell from your Arlo account, then re-add it in the Arlo app and follow the instructions for a wired doorbell. 1. Open the Arlo app. 2. Tap Settings > My Devices. 3. Scroll to the bottom, and tap Remove Device. 4. Tap the Devices tab. 5. At the bottom of the Devices tab, tap Add New Device. 6. Select your Arlo doorbell. Hardwire your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell This process is optional. The Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell is battery operated, but you can hardwire it if you like. Hardwiring your doorbell lets you connect it to your homes existing chime and allows the doorbell to trickle charge when its not in use. Wire Extensions (Optional) and Wire Nuts (Optional) Wires are not required for the wire-free configuration Wall Anchors
(Optional) Video Doorbell Tools Mounting Plate Angled Mounting Wedge
(Optional) A Phillips screwdriver is required to install the doorbell (not provided). Optional: Connect a wired chime 24 Essential Wire-Free Video DoorbellUser Manual You might also benefit from having a drill, a level, and a ladder (to reach the chime). Installation overview You must use the Arlo app for installation and setup. The Arlo app guides you through hardwired installation in this order:
1. Turn off your power at the breaker. Warning: Failure to turn off your power might result in serious injury. 2. Follow the instructions in the Arlo app to connect the wires and install your doorbell. 3. Turn on power at the breaker. 4. Check the LED on your doorbell. See LED during setup on page 19. 5. Connect your doorbell to your home networks 2.4 GHz WiFi. 6. Determine whether to use the flat mounting plate on its own, or combine it with the angled mounting plate to adjust the field of view for your doorbell. Installing with an angled mounting plate depends on the position of the doorbell and the walkway to your home. The angled mounting plate lets you install your doorbell so that it is angled toward the left or angled toward the right. Use the optional wire extensions Two identical wire extensions and fasteners come in the package with your doorbell. Wire extension Fastener If the existing wires for your doorbell are too short to connect your Arlo doorbell, you can use the wire extensions and fasteners to lengthen the wires. To connect wire extensions to your Arlo doorbell:
1. Remove the rubber ends from the wire extensions. 2. Attach a wire extension to one of your existing doorbell wires. To do this, connect the wire end of the wire extension (not the prong end) to your existing doorbell wire and twist the wires together securely. Optional: Connect a wired chime 25 Essential Wire-Free Video DoorbellUser Manual 3. Attach the second wire extension to the other doorbell wire. 4. Place the fasteners on top of the connected wire ends, and twist the fasteners. The fasteners funnel and secure the wires together. 5. Attach the extended wires to the mounting plate. 6. Tuck the wire extensions and the fasteners into the wiring cavity in the wall, behind your doorbell. You can use the optional mounting plate to get a better vantage point for the doorbell if it isnt facing straight out at the desired entryway. 7. Place your doorbell onto the mounting plate. Ensure that the mounting screws are completely screwed in and flush with the mounting plate so that your Arlo doorbell clips securely into the mounting plate. You are ready to use the Arlo app to continue the setup process to hardwire your doorbell. Battery charging with a hardwired doorbell The Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell comes with a rechargeable battery, which provides power to the doorbell. Wiring is not required for installation. If you choose to hardwire your doorbell to an 8-24VAC transformer, your doorbell draws a small current through the wiring to trickle charge the battery and reduce the need to take it out for recharging. This means that your doorbell always consumes battery power while it is active, and gradually recharges while it is asleep. For safety and long-term reliability, the doorbell battery starts trickle charging when the battery level drops below 65 percent, then stops charging when it reaches 80 percent. The rate of charging and overall battery level is dependent on usage and weather conditions. Additionally, frequent use of the doorbell can result in complete battery drain because the doorbell battery only charges when not in use. You can use the Arlo app to verify changes in the battery percentage, but you will not see a charging icon when the doorbell is hardwired. Frequent use of the doorbell can result in complete battery drain because the doorbell battery only charges when not in use. You can choose to bring the battery indoors and charge using the microUSB cable to 100%, if desired. Optional: Connect a wired chime 26 Essential Wire-Free Video DoorbellUser Manual 5.

You can use Arlo Geofencing to arm, disarm, or resume schedule modes when your mobile device is in zone or out of zone. To set up geofencing, you must use your mobile device and allow the Arlo app to use your location. Geofencing accuracy For accuracy, geofencing uses a combination of GPS, cellular data, and WiFi data. The local environment affects geofencing:
In urban environments, where the cell towers and WiFi routers are more dense, geofencing accuracy can reach 100200 meters. Note: If you live in a skyscraper, geofencing might not work reliably due to GPS inaccuracies. Using the Large radius setting might help. In rural areas, where cell towers and WiFi routers are sparse, geofencing accuracy can reach several hundred meters. To improve geofencing accuracy, make sure that your mobile device meets these conditions:

Tap Save. For troubleshooting tips, see Troubleshoot Arlo Geofencing on page 75. Geofencing with multiple mobile devices Arlo Geofencing works with multiple mobile devices. Arlo uses the first-in, last-out principal to manage households where more than one person uses geofencing. If everyone leaves home with their mobile devices, this triggers an away state. Since no one is inside the geofence, your cameras are armed. When the first person comes home (first in), their mobile device is now inside the geofence, triggering the home state and your cameras are disarmed. If one person leaves, but another is still home, the cameras stay disarmed in the home state until the last person leaves (last out). We recommend that you enable geofencing only for the mobile device that each person carries every day. For example, if you use a smartphone and a tablet, and you take your phone when you leave, set your phone as an enabled device in your Geofencing settings. Dont set your tablet as an enabled device, because Away mode wont be triggered when you go out and leave your tablet home. The Geofencing mode only changes from Home to Away when all enabled mobile devices are outside the Device Location in your Geofencing settings. To review which mobile devices participate in geofencing, open the Arlo app and check the Enabled Devices page in Geofencing settings (in the Modes section of the Arlo app). Remove any devices that you dont want to trigger Home/Away mode changes. Make sure that these conditions are met:

Troubleshooting Scan the QR code during doorbell setup During setup, your doorbells camera must scan a QR code from the Arlo app when youre adding the doorbell to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network. If your doorbell doesnt emit a chime sound after scanning the QR code, then the QR code was not successfully scanned. If your doorbell didnt scan the QR code:
Scan the QR code in an evenly lit area. Avoid scanning the QR code in a low light area. Move your phone closer to the doorbells camera lens. Position your phone about four inches (10 cm) from the doorbell lens and slowly move it closer. You can also try different angles. Increase the brightness on your phone. Turn up the brightness on your phone to the highest level. On an iPhone, also select Light
(not Dark) under Settings > Display & Brightness. If your phone is small, consider using the Arlo app on a tablet to set up your doorbell. If the infrared (IR) LED on the doorbell is lit red while you are scanning the QR code, cover the LED with your thumb. The IR LED can interfere with scanning the QR code. IR LED location Clean the doorbells camera lens. Use a lint-free cloth to remove any smudges. 65 Arlo doesnt discover your doorbell during setup After your doorbell scans the QR code in the Arlo app during setup, the Arlo app attempts to discover your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell on the same WiFi network that your phone is connected to. Since the doorbell connects to 2.4 GHz WiFi networks, during setup you must connect your phone to the same 2.4 GHz WiFi network. If the Arlo app doesnt discover your doorbell during the setup process:
1. Check the doorbell LED to see what went wrong. If the doorbell LED flashes amber for 10 seconds, the doorbell cant connect to the WiFi network. Make sure that you enter the correct WiFi settings for your 2.4 GHz WiFi network. The WiFi network name (SSID) and WiFi password are both case sensitive. MyWiFiPassword is not the same as mywifipassword. 2. Check your phones WiFi connection. During setup, your phone must connect to the same 2.4 GHz WiFi network as your doorbell. Many WiFi routers broadcast in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi bands. Your home network might include two WiFi networks, or even three if you have a guest network. In your phones WiFi settings, look for your WiFi network name that ends in 2, 2.4, or 2G and connect to that network. For more information, see Connect your mobile device to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network during setup on page 10. Your phone might automatically connect to cellular data. To keep this from happening, make sure that Wi-Fi Assist and Adaptive Wi-Fi features are off on your mobile device. These features allow mobile phones to automatically switch between WiFi and cellular network Internet access. If you use a VPN or WiFi extender, disconnect it during the WiFi setup process. 3. Check your WiFi routers Internet connection. After your doorbell connect to the same WiFi network as your phone, the Arlo app needs to access your Arlo account in the cloud in order to add your doorbell to your Arlo account.

Depending on the product you purchase, an Arlo Chime 2 may be included with your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell, or sold separately. When you use the Arlo app to set up your Chime 2, youre prompted to use your mobile device to scan the QR code located on the chime. If the Arlo app doesnt read this QR code, try the following:
Move your mobile device closer or further from the QR code. Your mobile device might need to be a certain distance from the QR code to properly focus. Slowly move the phone camera closer to and farther away from the QR code to enable the camera to focus better. Some smartphones might not be able to auto-focus. Try scanning the QR code at a different angle. Scan the QR code in an evenly lit area. Avoid scanning the QR code in the dark or directly under a bright light. Bright lighting can cause reflect off the Arlo device and inhibit your mobile device camera from seeing the entire QR code. Troubleshooting 69 Essential Wire-Free Video DoorbellUser Manual Try setting up your Arlo device with a different mobile device. For example, if you tried using a tablet to set up your Arlo device, try using a smartphone instead. Take a picture of the QR code, and scan the picture of the QR code. If a different smartphone or tablet doesnt work, take a clear picture of the QR code, and enlarge the picture on your screen. Then scan the picture with the device that you are using to set up the device. Clean the camera lens on your mobile device. The camera lens might have debris or a smudge on it, hindering its ability to scan the QR code. Try using a lint-free cloth to remove anything that might prevent the camera from scanning the QR code. If your QR code is scratched, damaged, or unreadable, contact Arlo Support. Once your account and product are verified, Arlo Support experts can send an email to provide an undamaged version of the damaged QR code on your chime. Arlo doesnt discover your Chime 2 during setup If the Arlo app cannot discover your Chime 2, check the following:

Make sure that your browser isnt blocking the plug-in and that youre using the latest version of Adobe Flash. Your router might be blocking the ports to which Arlo sends data. To make sure that Arlo can stay connected, you must keep ports 443 and 80 open on your router. Also see the following sections WiFi signal interference and Out of range. WiFi signal interference Environments with multiple WiFi networks, WiFi devices, or frequencies can cause signal interference with your Arlo system. Minimize the number of networks, WiFi devices, and transmitted frequencies in the area where you place your WiFi router and cameras. We recommend that you allow at least 6 feet (2 meters) between your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell and any Arlo cameras that you install to prevent WiFi signals between the devices from interfering with each other. Out of range Make sure that your doorbell is within range of your WiFi router. The range might be reduced if metal objects or thick walls and ceilings are between your router and the doorbell.
