Arlo Video Doorbell wired silent mode multiple users workaround

[ricklaven]

I was trying to figure out how to make it so when the Arlo Doorbell is rung, my phone will ring but not my wife's phone.  I realize that after reading a bunch of posts, this is not possible b/c when you adjust the silent mode settings it affects all phones.  Here is one workaround if you have an iPhone. 

• Go to recent calls
• Find the ArloDoorbell
• Create it as a contact
• Change the "Ringtone" to something very quiet such as an alert tone (or create a silent ringtone if you know how to create your own rigntones)

My son has an Android phone and he can't figure out how to do this on an Android yet b/c his Android phone doesn't recognize the ArloDoorbell as a missed call; it shows up differently and he is unable to turn it into a contact.

....or you can "block the caller" instead of changing the ringtone.
