solar charging for doorbells

[James85944]

I am interested in your Wireless doorbell cameras and want to know if you have a solar charger for that? Is the video recorded to the cloud and what might that cost?  Would be so much easier to speak to someone  how would I if I buy this stuff and have an issue?

The wired video doorbell charges from the existing wiring. A solar panel would be redundant as well as hard to implement. Video is recorded to the cloud and costs $2.99US after the free 3 month trial ends. 

The forums are the quickest ways to get help but with that subscription you have the ability to speak with Arlo support.

As @jguerdat says, there is no solar charger for the doorbell.  Note the wireless doorbell will trickle-charge from the low-voltage AC in existing wiring, so if you have an existing chime then you wouldn't need one. There are also some plug-in adapters available that will work.

Yes, you will need a subscription to get cloud storage (needed for all video recordings), and also activity zones.
