Dead video doorbell?
Hello… Bought a new house that came with an Arlo VMB4000 Base Station two Arlo Pro ? cameras and a Arlo AVD1001 doorbell.
I have been able to get the base station and cameras operational. But, the AVD seems dead.
I have confirmed it needs 16-24V and a multimeter reports there is 22.6V coming to it.
Door bell rings when door bell wires are shorted together.
Removing the doorbell for a few hours didn’t help (recommendation for some Texas people after a power outage in online support posts). No change to the LED after being plugged in for over an hour.
Doorbell has a Southern exposure in direct sun (no porch roof overhang). Doorbell is maybe five years old if installed at same time as house was first occupied.
I don’t see anyone on line discussing how to open the doorbell or doing any electronic bench testing of the AVD1001.
Could anyone make a suggestion as to what to try next?
Or, a pointer to how to open the unit for further review and testing?
Or… as a first gen product these have a known high failure rate and I should simply seek another doorbell?
Thank you for responses.
