Questioninstalling my arlo video doorbell i did electric short i need new small cirquit braker photo included
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The picture that you provided is a power boost for most low voltage electric doorbells. It is meant to attach to the transformer INSIDE your home. You are supposed to use the single pair connected to your existing wired doorbell. Does your unit not illuminate around the large round black button? I doubt that you popped a fuse by shorting your doorbell. Try attaching the Arlo doorbell AND the voltage booster directly to your transformer with the black wire pair included in the wired kit. Or test your transformer or exposed wire pair with a standard powered doorbell, aka close the circuit and see if the doorbell chimes. Or call a handyman or a teenager that can offer you some tech support.

QuestionI've read a ton of reviews on this product and the most common complaint I've seen (besides the subscription/lack of local storage) is the motion detection notification delay. If you turn off smart notification, do motion notifications come in faster?
Asked 5 years ago by Teamdre.
- Answer honestly that could be due to the internet connection, because i have not experienced such an issue. My alerts have been coming in pretty well.

QuestionFor the Arlo requires wires? My house and an old house and it does not have a for bell?
Asked 5 years ago by Tochy.
- Answer The Arlo needs electrical power. It gets power from the doorbell. If you do not have a doorbell you would need to run power from a doorbell transformer to the Arlo. You dont need to have a doorbell, but you will need power that comes from a doorbell transformer with the wires ending at the location you want to mount the Arlo.

QuestionWhen viewing live feed, picture only uses 25% of my screen on iPad. I have to zoom in like a 1000% to see anything during a live feed. When reviewing past videos, I can expand the video to fill the entire screen on my IPad. Anyone else have this issue?
Asked 5 years ago by DLaw.
- Answer While viewing the live feed, have you tapped on the two arrows pointing together, to enlarge the screen? If the background is light, the arrows are hard to locate.

QuestionIs it possible to run two (2) of the AVD1001-100NAS units through the same 10VA transformer to supply power to both or does each unit come with it's own transformer..?
Asked 5 years ago by 655658.
- Answer Not sure but I don't think 10VA will be enough for one doorbell let alone two. I had to upgrade my old transformer for one doorbell.

QuestionMy doorbell is wired into an intercom system. It does not have a separate chime box. Will the Arlo Video Doorbell work with that? Also, removing my doorbell will leave a 4x6 open box. Is there a faceplate that will cover this hole for mounting Arlo?
Asked 5 years ago by Bill.
- Answer The doorbell can work without a chime, it will only video call your cellular phone instead when the button is pressed. As for a plate cover, this can be found at a local hardware store for sure.

QuestionCan the video doorbell take snapshots/still images, and if so is this free or does it require a monthly subscription?
Asked 5 years ago by NeedMoreInfo.
- Answer You can take snapshots from the Arlo web link, but the snapshot icon does not appear on the iOS mobile app (don't know about android). It is free for me now but that may be because they give you 3 months free cloud when you purchase the doorbell. Won't know until after that period expires if it is truly free.

QuestionI purchased Arlo Video doorbell utilized the angle mount, however we would require a more angled view as we have a post in front of our doorbell. Is there a way to angle it more? Or will Arlo be offering another angle mount (similar to Ring)?
Asked 5 years ago by CeeCee.
- Answer You can increase the angle by putting additional material (plastic, wood, double sided 3M tape) under the thicker edge of the plastic wedge,, causing the angle to grow from 30 to 90 degrees. The accompanying wood screws are about an inch and a half. Should be long enough but you could purchase some two inch wood or drywall screws if you aren’t biting into enough siding/wood/masonite

QuestionMy chime box has 5 contact screws vertical (Ryan side) Two original wired at the bottom Where do I connect the power source wires? Thanks
Asked 5 years ago by Scottie.
- Answer The doorbell has two wires, one wire connects to the port labeled front or back depending which side of the house you're installing it at, and the second wire simply connects to the transformer port. Either wire will work on either connection.
