It would be a nice feature if there were new melodies to download or to add ones own melodies. Some of the melodies are not s loud as the others even though the volume is the same. thanks

Hello, I would really like the ability to control how the doorbell behaves based on whether I am home or not. Ie, when I am not home I would like the doorbell to call my phone and when I am home I want it to rind the chime. At the moment it seems the only way to do this is by manually am switching every time, which I don’t understand because the geofencing mode has already even created for cameras. Also, I really want to be able to disable the leave a message feature.

Why doesn't ARLO offer an Upgrade/Promotional Buyback program? I'm a relatively new customer and yes I know the new cameras are backward compatible with whAt I have but I would like and could really use some of the new features for all my cameras.
ARLO PLEASE consider putting together a program to help out all your customers that have older equipment. Buying the newer cameras and base station to get some of the needed capabilites and functions is just not affordable for me.

There is not an option to turn off calls when doorbell is pressed without turning off the chime under the silent mode in the Arlo App (v2.11.1) for the new Arlo Video Doorbell. However, this feature exists in the app for Arlo Audio Doorbell. Please add this feature for Video Doorbell as well.

I just got my Google home hub today and it works great for viewing the cameras. I am also thinking of getting the doorbell and would like to know if the arlo doorbell is rung can the google home hub be set up to automatically show the front door camera without asking google to show it?
If this is not a current feature please add it.

Hi, are there plans to add integration between the Arlo Doorbell and Google Assistant? Specifically it would be great if it's possible to have the Google Home and Home Hub make an announcement when the doorbell is pressed. Ideally the Home Hub should bring up the attached camera as well. Thanks.

Is there anyway to change the ring when someone pushes the doorbell? It rings my normal phone ring. I can only seem to customize the motion notifications.

I would like to have a video doorbell with a rechargeable battery option. Since I don't have power to that door or an older doorbell, it would be a nice option. The Ring 2 has the option.

For the Arlo Chime we are offered the following choices, when used with an Arlo camera.
Select an action for the chime to perform when the camera detects motion:
Do nothing
Sound the siren
Simulate home presence
Play a melody
I would suggest we need another option:-
A recorded authoritative voice to say:-
‘ All your actions are now being video recorded ‘.
OR
‘ This property is fitted with Arlo video recorders ‘.
OR
‘ Your every action is now recorded ‘.
These are some choices, but I think everyone will understand the general idea.
If having this option is debatable, then equip the Alarm / Chime with a small USB connector and the customer can add whatever announcement they wish to make.
NOTE that almost all Android phones now have the option to change announcement sounds from a vast selection, plus the option to add your own sound(s). It is time for Arlo to move forwards on this one.

(Dear Arlo - please don't move this to another topic again. This is NOT really about alerts when offline.
It's MAINLY about the cameras' batteries draining when the base goes offline. Please read in it's entirety.)
So this happens now and again - my base station goes offline. I assume it's when a firmware update is pushed out and crashes my base station.
My issue is that when the base station goes offline, the cameras drain their batteries trying to reconnect.
This last time, the base station went offline around 10:30am pacific time on the 6th May. Perhaps someone from Arlo can confirm if that was a firmware update? Or tell me how I can check that myself?
I didn't realise until late on the 7th. (Thankfully I have other cameras, because I know I can't rely on this system yet.) (Also thankfully I'm at home. When this happens while I'm away, there's nothing I can do... Big fail for a security system.) Power cycling the base station only served to show me the cameras all offline. Sometimes rebooting the base station a few times brings some cameras back online, but not this time. Clearly the batteries were all drained. It was too late at night to be getting ladders out and swapping batteries, so that's what I'm doing today. Thankfully I have rechargeable batteries, otherwise Arlo would be getting a big bill for new ones! And I have confirmed that the batteries are all dead - power cycling the cameras does nothing.
Here are suggestions. I hope Arlo are listening. They are pretty basic requirements of a security system.
When a camera detects the base station is offline, it goes into a low power mode. Instead of draining its batteries by continuously trying to reconnect, have it try once every minute for the first 10 minutes, then once every 10 minutes for the next hour, then once every 30 minutes. That way, when the base station can be physically power cycled when the owner returns home (note that this usually can't be done remotely as the base station is offline), the cameras will hopefully still have some battery power left.
When the base station goes offline:
Have the base station AUTOMATICALLY power cycle itself say every 20 minutes until it reconnects. That way if I can't get to the base station for a week, it doesn't render the entire system USELESS!
SEND ME A NOTIFICATION. Pretty please. The cloud knows. If I open the app, it knows. If a security system goes completely offline, it should trigger a panic mode 😱 where it sends not only repeated push notifications, but also texts and emails.
When a camera goes offline:
Automatically try to reconnect, and go into a low power mode.
p.s. thank you for finally ditching flash...

I'd like to see an option to trigger recording video on my Arlo Pro when the doorbell button is pressed. The motion sensor on the doorbell is too sensitive and I get a lot of false triggers, so I can't use that to trigger video recording.

It would be great to be able to add the Audio Doorbell to the Mode in the app as I like to be easily turn the motion settings on and off on the doorbell but I haven't found a way of doing this yet?

The biggest problem with the Arlo doorbell is that you have to answer your phone before you can see the video. It should show the video and give you the option to answer.

Sometimes it is not clear if the app is connected to the camera directly, or if the content goes over cloud.
Would be nice if there was a simple way to check it (or a visual indicator to see it).

Never mix up your cameras again! I'm sure we all have removed our cameras to charge them and when we placed them back in their locations we may have placed the wrong camera in the wrong spot! Sure, we could go back onto our Arlo app and swap the names around or take down the cameras that we just placed high up on our house - but why if you could avoid mixing them up to begin with?! 🙂 This would allow room for a small push compartment under the camera to place a label so you know where your camera belongs! Never mix up your cameras again!

I have two Arlo doorbells, one in a very active are and another on a door that gets activity once or twice a month. I have replaced the batteries on the active doorbell twice so far and they are currently at 50%. I noticed that when the doorbell detects motion the led ring is lighting up, even during full sun when it is difficult to see. I would suggest Arlo create an option to disable the led during the day to increase battery life on the doorbell.

My guess is that the Arlo production line are sold mostly on US market and therefore don´t get that many votes. But nevertheless it is important for as on the international market
To my surprise the message from the doorbell to poll for att short massage are in English. So in my naive mind (working in the tech business since mid -80 with programming and UX) I thought that i should also change into the local language when it was switched in the app/browser. But it was then still English.
So either make it into the language selected or the option to turn it off. Even better offer the opportunity to record and upload your own,

Allow mechanical/digital chime wired to one doorbell to be activated by a second audio doorbell
I have a two Arlo doorbells, one video and one audio.
The video doorbell is wired to my mechanical chime and works as desired.
I want my audio doorbell, which is mounted in a different location, to trigger the mechanical chime that is connected to the first video doorbell.
