Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Chime 2 QR Code will not scan on Chime 2 model AVDK2001-111NAS

[mfswear]

I purchased the wire free video doorbell with chime.  No matter what I did the QR code on the chime would not scan.  Here is a workaround.  I took a close up photo of the QR code and emailed it to myself at full size.  I pulled the image up on my computer screen and it was able to scan and add the chime.

mfswear,

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue. For more t/s on scanning QR codes, take a look here:

A quick note to request a better solution. I too had the same issue, where the QR code is so small on the Chime 2 that it was impossible to scan this with a IPhone 14 Pro. Can the QR code be turned around relative to the plug and/or made slightly larger?

A That would seem unlikely to happen since it's a current product. You may want to take a picture of the code, print it out and use that for the scan.
