Step 3: Install the Doorbell
Position your Arlo wireless doorbell at the desired location. Make sure it is securely mounted and has a clear line of sight to the base station. If your doorbell requires a hardwired connection, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to connect it to the doorbell transformer.

Step 6: Add Your Doorbell
In the Arlo app, tap the “+” button to add a new device. Select “Doorbell” from the list of devices and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your doorbell with the base station. The app will guide you through the process, which typically involves pressing a button on the doorbell to initiate pairing.
Step 7: Complete the Setup
Once the app confirms that your doorbell is connected to the base station, you can complete the setup process by configuring your doorbell’s settings, such as motion detection and notifications. You can also customize your doorbell’s name and set up any additional features you may want to use.
Step 8: Test Your Doorbell
After completing the setup, test your Arlo wireless doorbell to ensure it is working correctly. Press the doorbell button and observe whether the base station is triggered and whether you receive notifications on your smartphone or tablet.
