Hi
First question is this, my chime box is 6v, i notice that the wire free arlo doorbell requires a minimum of 8v (to be hardwired and apparently trickle charge). I am however thinking will wiring it up to at least trickle charge it?
Anyone have any experience of wiring to a 6v chime box? Does it ring the chime or trickle charge at least a little? Or am i wasting my time?
Next question, I have Arlo HD cameras (the original ones) and a VMB4000r3 base station. The smart subscription i assume is only any use for the video doorbell which is £2.50 a month?
Currently you cant record from the wire free doorbell to the base station storage which is a pain, hopefully it will at some stage

Hi @wenklaw0042
Please follow Arlo's installation instructions for the Arlo Wire-Free Video Doorbell. I can nit suggest any alternatives. I would suggest contacting customer support with questions regarding trickle charging and minimum voltage requirements.
Your Wire-Free doorbell can Send push notifications & live stream without an Arlo Smart subscription. If you would like to record and receive smart alerts, you will require an Arlo Smart subscription. You can find more info here: What are the available Arlo subscription plans and how much cloud recording is available?
Thank you
