Video Doorbell. It is recommended that the transformer be installed by a professional
electrician.
Voltage requirements
The wired Arlo Essential Video Doorbell requires a wired doorbell and chime with voltage
between 16V AC and 24V AC, and a 10VA transformer.
We recommend that you check the voltage on the transformer that powers your existing
doorbell before installing your wired Arlo Essential Video Doorbell. If the transformer’s voltage
isn’t 16-24 VAC, you must upgrade your transformer before you use the doorbell.
You can check the voltage level of your doorbell transformer by one of these methods:
• Use a multimeter to test the voltage.
A multimeter is an electronic tool that measures
the precise voltage level of your existing doorbell
wiring. Using a multimeter gives you the most
accurate estimate of your transformer’s voltage,
and it can be done without nding the
transformer. We recommend that you measure
at the existing doorbell wiring or at your chime.
• Check if the voltage is printed on the
transformer that provides power to your
existing doorbell.
The estimated voltage is commonly printed on transformers. This is typically accurate, but
it isn’t as precise as using a multimeter.
