User Manual
• Arlo Chime 2.
The Arlo Chime 2 may be included with your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell, or sold
separately. Your Chime 2 lets you receive instant alerts from your Arlo doorbell and your
Arlo cameras. For more information, see Chapter 3. Arlo Chime 2 on page 18.
• Smart home voice assistant systems.
You can use a home voice assistant system—like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant—to
make an announcement when someone presses your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell.
Your doorbell is also compatible with Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT. For more
information, see
Chapter 9. Arlo Connect on page 62.
• Arlo Chime, sold separately.
If you have an Arlo SmartHub or base station, you can use it to add an Arlo Chime to
your Arlo account. When an Arlo chime is on your account, you can pair it with your Arlo
doorbell. See
Connect an optional Arlo Chime (sold separately).
Traditional chime solution
Your Arlo doorbell is fully wire-free, but you can connect it to your existing doorbell wiring (if
applicable) to ring your household chime and to continuously charge the doorbell. For more
information, see Chapter 3. Optional: Connect a wired chime on page 22.
Connect an Arlo Chime (sold separately)
You can connect your Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell to an Arlo Chime. When a chime is
connected, a ring plays when someone presses your video doorbell. This is a useful wire-free
solution if you don’t already have a mechanical or digital chime to connect to your doorbell.
Note: The Arlo Chime requires connection to an Arlo SmartHub or base station.
To connect an Arlo Chime to your doorbell:
1. Open the Arlo Secure App.
2. Tap Settings > My Devices.
3. Select your Arlo Essential Video Doorbell.
4. Scroll to the bottom of Device Settings, and tap Add Chime.
5. Follow the Arlo Secure App to connect your Arlo Chime.
When your Arlo Chime is connected to your Arlo Essential Video Doorbell, the chime
appears under PAIRED DEVICES on the Device Settings page.
