Product Manuals
A: While you can use an adhesive strip on the door, I don't think it would be recommended as it would be easily to be removed/stolen. However, you can do on the side of the door on the wall and mount it with anchors/screws (included). That being said, if installed properly ARLO will replace any stolen equipment.
Q: Does this doorbell require a subscription?
A: During the free, 3 month, trial period your doorbell videos are stored in your account in the Arlo Cloud for 30 days. As each video ages out it is automatically deleted. At anytime during the 30 days you can download and save videos to your computer. At the end of the 3 month trial period if you decline the $9.99 a month subscription, your videos are only stored for 7 days. At any time during those 7 days you can download and save the videos to your computer.
A: Depending on which base station or SmartHub you're using, the only way to view local recordings may be to eject the storage device and view from a PC. If you have a VMB4540 or VMB5000 SmartHub, you can utilize Direct Storage Access as detailed here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062337/What-is-Direct-Storage-Access-and-how-do-I-use-it
A: The Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wire-Free comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The expected battery life for the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell (wire-free version) is 6 months. Battery life is based on usage of 4000 seconds motion streaming per month, 30 seconds per two-way call daily, and day/night event splits 2:1. This will vary with device settings, use, activity captured and environmental factors.
A: Two users can receive calls when the Arlo Video Doorbell camera is pressed. ^RM
Q: can you purchase a second battery for arlo essential video doorbell
A: Additional batteries available from Arlo, and most stores that sell the doorbell, for $49.99.
A: I forgot to say, the existing transformer could be broken, test it with a multimeter to see if it's giving out power or check if it's on it's own fuse if the electrics are old. You can also test the wiring with a multimeter. It would work out much cheaper to simply buy a new transformer.
