User Manual

Installing with an angled mounting plate depends on the position of the doorbell
and the walkway to your home. The angled mounting plate lets you install your
doorbell so that it is angled toward the left or angled toward the right.

4. Follow the instructions in the Arlo app to connect the wires and install your

doorbell.

5. Turn on power at the breaker.

6. Check the LED on the front of your Arlo Video Doorbell. See

LED during setup on

7. Connect your Arlo Video Doorbell to your home network’s 2.4 GHz WiFi.

Use the optional wire extensions

Two identical wire extensions and fasteners come in the package with your Arlo Video
Doorbell.

If the existing wires for your doorbell are too short to connect your Arlo Video
Doorbell, you can use the wire extensions and fasteners to lengthen the wires.
