Optimize your doorbell battery life
Your Essential Video Doorbell battery life is aff ected by frequent video recordings and its local
environment. Follow these tips and guidelines to improve your doorbell’s battery life.
• Charge the doorbell to 100% before the fi rst use. See Charge the battery before
installation on page 8.
• Place the doorbell in an area with good WiFi coverage. In the Arlo Secure App, you
can check the WiFi Signal Strength icon
for your doorbell. See Tips for optimal WiFi
performance on page 9.
• Don’t focus your doorbell on an area with high traff ic. To avoid unwanted notifi cations,
keep your doorbell’s fi eld of view (FOV) away from areas where you don’t want to detect
motion, such as a busy street. You can use the included angled mounting wedge to adjust
the orientation of your doorbell. For more information, see
Choose a good spot to mount
your doorbell on page 12.
Note: Activity zones help fi lter out notifi cations and recordings for motion events
that occur outside of your zone(s). They do not reduce your camera’s battery power
consumption, since your camera still continuously monitors for motion events within your
activity zone(s). For more information, visit What are activity zones and how do I create
them?.
• Hardwire your doorbell. You can hardwire your doorbell, which continuously trickle
charges the battery when the doorbell isn’t in use. See
