Answer your doorbell from your smartphone
When a visitor presses your Arlo Audio Doorbell, your mobile device receives a voice
over IP (VoIP) call through an Internet connection. You must install the Arlo app on
your smartphone and you must be logged in to the Arlo app. The caller displays as
the name you gave to your Arlo Audio Doorbell. You can accept or decline the call
the same way you do for other calls that you receive on your smartphone.
When your smartphone rings, you can do the following:
• Accept the call and speak to your visitor.
• Answer the call with a quick reply. Select a recorded message for the
doorbell to play for the visitor.
• Decline the call. If a visitor presses your Arlo Audio Doorbell and you don’t
answer your smartphone after five rings, your doorbell prompts the visitor to
leave a message. If the visitor leaves a message, it is saved as a Doorbell audio
recording in your Arlo library.
If you want to receive the call on a dierent phone, you can log out of the Arlo app
on the first smartphone and log into the Arlo app on another smartphone or tablet.
To receive the call on multiple phones, you can create a grant access account (add
doorbell to the grant access account) and log in to the Arlo app using the grant
account on the other smartphone. (See Grant access to a friend on page 21.)
