Battery charging with a hardwired doorbell
The Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell comes with a rechargeable battery, which provides
power to the doorbell. Wiring is not required for installation.
If you choose to hardwire your doorbell to an 8-24VAC transformer, your doorbell draws a
small current through the wiring to trickle charge the battery and reduce the need to take it
out for recharging. This means that your doorbell always consumes battery power while it is
active, and gradually recharges while it is asleep.
For safety and long-term reliability, the doorbell battery starts trickle charging when the
battery level drops below 65 percent, then stops charging when it reaches 80 percent. The
rate of charging and overall battery level is dependent on usage and weather conditions.
Additionally, frequent use of the doorbell can result in complete battery drain because the
doorbell battery only charges when not in use. You can use the Arlo Secure App to verify
changes in the battery percentage, but you will not see a charging icon when the doorbell is
hardwired.
Frequent use of the doorbell can result in complete battery drain because the doorbell battery
only charges when not in use. You can choose to bring the battery indoors and charge using
the microUSB cable to 100%, if desired.
