Answer your Video Doorbell from your
smartphone
When a visitor presses your Arlo Video Doorbell, your mobile device receives a video
call through an Internet connection. You must install the Arlo app on your smartphone
and you must be logged in to the Arlo app. The caller displays as the name you gave
to your Arlo Video Doorbell. You can accept or decline the call the same way you do
for other calls that you receive on your smartphone.
When your smartphone rings, you can do the following:
• Accept the call and speak to your visitor.
• Answer the call with a Quick Reply. Select a recorded message for the doorbell to
play for the visitor.
• Decline the call. If a visitor presses your Arlo Video Doorbell and you don’t answer
your smartphone after five rings, your doorbell prompts the visitor to leave a
message. If the visitor leaves a message, it is saved as a Doorbell recording in your
Arlo library.
If you want to receive the call on a different phone, you can log out of the Arlo app on
the first smartphone and log into the Arlo app on another smartphone or tablet.
To receive the call on multiple phones, you can create a grant access account (add
doorbell to the grant access account) and log in to the Arlo app using the grant
account on the other smartphone. (See
