Want to install Arlo model AVD1001.

 

I removed our existing wired video doorbell that has six wires (outside at doorbell and inside where the monitor was). 

I can’t find if there is a transformer somewhere between the run from outside to inside.


The back of the old monitor unit  says “input DC15v”

 

(And there was never a traditional dooorbell with chimes as the Arlo instructions call for.)

 

Wondering if I can just use the existing white and red wires to install new Arlo camera, and cap off the rest. 

Suggestions? Thanks!

Arlo needs low voltage AC, so I think this is a problem.  You would potentially remove all the old kit, and install a compatible transformer and traditional chime.  That might need an electrician though.
