I want my doorbell to function as a doorbell. I think it's very strange and awkward that my doorbell starts asking people to leave a message when they press the doorbell. I also don't want my phone to ring when my doorbell is pressed. If I wanted a phone call when someone was at my door I would have hung a phone outside. Just send me a notification and I can choose to go into the app and connect and talk from there. Such a strange feature. I would have gone with a different brand if I knew this was how it was. Please add more user flexibility in app so we can choose how we want our doorbell to operate. Let it operate as a doorbell by default and if people want it to be a weird doorbell / phone hybrid they can choose that in the settings.

Hey @Frizzle77

 

The Arlo doorbells have a feature within the app called Silent Mode. You can adjust if you would like to have just your phone ring or both chime/phone. You can find this under Settings > My Devices > Select the Doorbell >  Silent Mode. 

 

You can also toggle the leave a message feature On/Off if you scroll down a but and locate the Call Settings > Leave Your Message. 

 

Hope that helps
