I have spent several weeks troubleshooting why my doorbell goes offline.  I, initially, thought that it was a battery problem and have thrown away a considerable number of alkaline batteries.  I installed lithium batteries last week but it still goes offline every day or so.  It appears to have no power as it does not ring, light or detect motion.

I have discovered that by removing a battery, momentarily, kicks it back to life.  The batteries are showing 90%.  I can only assume that it is a circuitry problem but am unable to exchange it having bought it from Amazon in February.

Any help much appreciated.

Contact support, and ask for a warranty replacement.  https://www.arlo.com/en-us/support/contact.aspx

@DB49er,

Often when I see that the doorbell is offline, I simply press the button and it comes back online again. This is probably a software issue. Try that next time and see if it doesn't correct your problem.
