Hi,

Does anyone know what's the power draw for the audio doorbell, more exactly what's the acceptable DC voltage as input and what is the current draw? I am working with a constant power solution for this device since it drains the batteries after 1 month. Is 3,3 VDC and 500 mA power supply sufficient or can I reduce the size of the power supply to lower current? Is 3,3 VDC to much and do I have to lower it down to 3 VDC or is it fine?

Sorry but my question was about Arlo Audio Doorbell. And it is about required power supply since the official support is only batteries. Nevertheless, I have tested it myself and a power supply that gives an output of 3,3 VDC and max 900 mA works great. Now I don't need to care about batteries anymore.

Generally, there are two considerations before installing a video doorbell. The first is the power source and the other is the internet. Due to the popularity of Wi-Fi and BT, the internet connection of a video doorbell is not a problem. As for the power source, if the power outlet is not designed in advance, the battery-powered solution is the most convenient way to install because no extra cable required.
