https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Audio-Doorbell/Why-does-Audio-doorbell-need-batteries-when-it-s-wired/m-p/1811649#M4613 I just bought the Arlo audio doorbell thinking I've got a wired doorbell system and don't have to worry about batteries inside the doorbell.<BR /><BR />To my surprise it needs batteries and won't power even though it's wired.<BR /><BR />Why does it need batteries when it's getting enough juice from the wired connection? Other Doorbell don't need batteries when it's wired.
