Arlo Doorbell
End of lifeDocumentation reviewed . Older model; not a current buying recommendation.
Current guidance
Arlo lists Pro 2 (VMC4030P) and the original Audio Doorbell (AAD1001) as reaching end of life on January 1, 2025. Its stated extra year of critical security updates has elapsed. End of life does not necessarily stop every existing live-view or local-storage function; regional exceptions and existing plans matter. Do not treat the original audio doorbell as a modern video doorbell. Choose a model with an explicit remaining security-support period for a new installation.

Arlo has finally added a doorbell option to their network of security cameras. Available in battery and wired options the Arlo doorbell should be a simple addition to any home. To cut costs Arlo didn’t include a video option in the doorbell but you can pair a camera to the doorbell for video functionality. Pair the Arlo doorbell with the new Smart Chime and you’ll be able to hear the doorbell anywhere in your house.
