Hello,
I only want to know if with the Arlo VIDEO Doorbell AVD1001 is it also possible to unlock the door at distance when someone wants to enter (with the app or when the call enters) ?
It can apparently do a lot of things but I don't find any information for that simple functionality.
thx

Like any doorbell, it alerts you when someone pushes the button and also will record motion as the person approaches. It has no contact to a lock just like any previous doorbell would. I'm not up on things like IFTTT, SmartThings, etc. but if the doorbell and a 3rd party Internet-enabled lock support one of these services you MAY be able to create a connection between them. Otherwise, use the doorbell to alert you and that 3rd party lock's app to unlock the door (or set the lock up with guest access so that person can unlock by himself).
