To charge your Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wire-Free, you must remove the doorbell from the wall, bring the doorbell inside, remove the battery from the doorbell, and then begin charging. Always charge your doorbell indoors.

Before you charge your Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wire-Free:

• The USB charging cable that came in the box with your camera is for indoor charging only.
• The USB charging cable works with most power adapters. A charger with 5V and 2A is preferred.
• The doorbell is not weather resistant when the battery is removed, so do not leave the doorbell outside while the battery is detached from the doorbell.
