Arlo Video Doorbell AVD2001 - Power Outage

[ArloFan2022]

Greetings,

Long time fan, first time writer.
Hope this message finds you well.
Please, consider this scenario with Doorbell Wire-Free:
- In the event of a power outage:
a) will the doorbell work with just a router and a cell phone?
b) is it possible to establish a hotspot directly with the cell phone?
Best regards,

A) I expect this would work since the wireless doorbell doesn't require power. However, the router must be powered so you'd need a UPS to keep it going during the outage.

B) Yes but for simplicity you would want to use the same SSID and password as your normal WiFi so you don't have to change the network in the doorbell settings.
