How can I install Arlo’s wired video doorbell?

Here is how to install Arlo Wired Video Doorbell:

1. Turn Off the Breaker

Make safety your top priority by turning off the electrical power at your home’s breaker box before attempting any electrical work. This crucial step will protect you from potential accidents. Next, locate your current doorbell chime and transformer, as they will be essential in powering the Arlo Wired Video Doorbell.

2. Remove Your Existing Doorbell

To remove your current doorbell, carefully detach it from the wall. Take care to disconnect the wires properly, ensuring they do not get lost inside the wall. To prevent any mishaps, consider taping the wires securely to the wall.

3. Preparing the Mounting Bracket

Install the Arlo Wired Video Doorbell with ease using the accompanying mounting bracket. Simply align the bracket’s holes with the existing holes on your wall. If necessary, create new holes using a drill and a suitable drill bit for optimal positioning.

4. Mount the Doorbell Bracket

Mount bracket securely to the wall using the included screws and a screwdriver. Ensure the bracket is level and firmly attached to the wall.

5. Connecting Wires to Arlo Video Doorbell

Detach the taped wires and securely connect them to the rear of your Arlo Video Doorbell. The power and chime wires can be fixed to either screw. After carefully attaching the wires, mount the doorbell onto the bracket by sliding it upwards.

6. Power Activation and Light Checking

The Doorbell’s front light will glow steadily in white.
To check if the Doorbell is powered on, turn on the breaker switch and observe the LED indicator. If the LED does not illuminate, wait for an additional five minutes. If the LED still does not turn on, verify the correctness of your wiring.
If the LED glows in amber, it indicates an insufficient power supply or extremely low temperature.
