Customer Ratings & Reviews

Most epic purchase ever!!! Clear videos, great zoom and awesome features on the app! Gives us comfort to know while we're out of town. I can still check in on the house on all cameras. The battery life is pretty rad so far, they've only had to be charged once in 2-3 months but mainly because we have a dog door , mamy animals and alot of guests! Haha! I love that I can talk to my animals and peeps thru the app while that are at my house and they can communicate back to me as well!!! All in all I am impressed! I have and will continue to gloat about these especially for the price that I paid for all of them! Furthermore the fact that they work without requiring a hub!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THANX ARLO AND BEST BUY, YOU GUYZ ROCK!

We have had this camera up and running for 3-4 months and love it. Set up is easy, battery lasts for 3 weeks with plentiful notifications daily and me dropping in to see whats going on alot to. I highly recommend this for a family on a budget that what to keep in the know around their house

This doorbell has worked well for us. If you don't lig i to the app periodically it stops giving notifications. No worries though, just click open the app.

I seen someone with this camera, and was intrigued. I am very picky on style and quality. I’m personally not a fan of the hype with ring cameras, but google nest cameras are also cute. I do not like how vivint isn’t easily accessible to just shop for their products. Vivint reviews were also far too many stating they’re terrible to get in contact with. I settled for the Arlo, and it’s been a little over three months. I also bought the indoor essential camera to add coverage, to my momentum indoor camera since I can’t find that brand anymore. These two brands have me sold, especially with their apps, video and sound qualities. I love it and I’m about to purchase two more doorbell cameras as birthday gifts for family. I will be looking to get there entire camera system in the future for new residence properties as long as things stay good with this brand.

I’ve been looking at and considering video doorbells for a few years now. I waited on the whole smart home thing for a few reasons. Anyway, I had been considering a Ring for a while, but the features and price for Arlo were so much better. I love the 180° view on the doorbell and it’s great to be able to designate activity zones so that I’m not getting a ton of unnecessary notifications. I snagged it at a great price too. Happy that I waited. Thanks Arlo!

The only issue I see is that the video quality seems a little fuzzy. Other than that it was a breeze to set it up and mount and I haven't had any issues with it. It has great motion detection as I have had multiple motion detection notifications when I wake in the morning from a cat that has been lurking around my house in the middle of the night.

This product is absolutely amazing, I can see and hear clearly if anyone comes feet within my front porch. I can also answer the doorbell service from anywhere while speaking to my visitor as if I am home. Yep, this means it syncs to your smart device. When some one pushes your doorbell, your phone will automatically ring, If you choose not to answer or miss a call, the visitor has the option of leaving you an actual video voicemail. I am truly a happy camper, because of Arlo I feel safe.

Great very clear good battery life great price. Recommend and great customer services

I don’t have any complaints about my Arlo! Super easy to set up and hang (I used command Velcro instead of the screws that came with it, bc I’m in an apartment). It has variety of settings to personalize your experience. It recognizes animals, people, and packages. When someone rings the doorbell, it also calls your phone.

Hope it last longer than the wired version. Picture quality is exceptional, battery life will need to evaluated over time. Cold weather seems to reduce battery life substantially. Requires subscription for cliud storage.

We replaced our original Arlo doorbell w/o a camera and this one is MUCH BETTER! The clarity of the videos and ease of setup were a pleasant surprise. We also purchased this one after buying the 2nd generation, but it was not compatible with our Arlo 2 cameras.

Verdict: The Arlo Video Doorbell is an elegant and small video doorbell that provides wireless video capability for entryways. Motion detection is very sensitive and the camera does a great job at capturing footage, but the live video chat with a visitor sometimes has a bit too much lag. First impressions. It is smaller than other competing products and it looks nice. The package includes the doorbell, the rechargeable battery, and a charging cable. Setup. The Arlo app provided easy and quick installation; I did not run into any issues. While we have two Arlo base stations, we could not connect this doorbell to the base station. It looks like the only connection option is through WiFi. Installation was straight forward: choose a place to mount, screw the mounting plate on the wall, and attach the doorbell to the mounting plate. I am using the angle mount so I have a better angle on the people approaching the door. The wireless aspect was absolutely necessary for us; Arlo allows us to have an entire camera system for the house, and now a video doorbell, without any wires. Live video performance. We have gigabit internet (and consistent 300 Mbps or more WiFi speeds up & down) with strong coverage throughout the house, so the doorbell gets great WiFi coverage. While the doorbell is very responsive when activating the camera manually from the app, there is sometimes a significant lag (10 seconds) from the time a visitor presses the doorbell button and the time that the video appears on the smart phone (see picture). I will try to figure out a pattern for when this happens so I can resolve it. So far, it seems random. It’s definitely neither our internet speeds nor our WiFi coverage that is the issue. I hope to be able to connect the doorbell to my base stations in the future to perhaps improve live calls and also to use local storage. Image quality. The wide field of view and high resolution ensures the highest quality of the image. The wide field of view means that I no longer need another Arlo camera at the front door as I can see just about 180-degrees field of view. I am also very satisfied with the video quality in all conditions. We can clearly see people’s faces, make/model of vehicles, and other details from the video recordings. HD and HDR allows for high resolution viewing, zooming, and visibility in low light. Lastly, the night vision on this camera is quite capable too. Detection. Motion detection is very sensitive… so much so that I have to use activity zones to avoid the waving flag on the front porch or squirrels on the patio triggering the motion sensor and sending an alert to my phone. The activity zones work fairly well, overall. After two weeks of testing, the camera has captured the faces of EVERY person approaching the door; this is something that we couldn’t do before, and we are very happy about this aspect of the product. Integration with overall systems. The video doorbell is easy to integrate with other cameras through the Arlo app. We have other cameras on the front patio that now start to record when the video doorbell detects motion. This allows us to capture video of the front area of the house from different angles when someone is at the front door. We also paired the video doorbell with the Arlo chime that we previously had from our Arlo audio doorbell setup. Things I love. - Exceptional detection of people approaching the door, which means you can capture all the details you need to see exactly who came to your door - Easy app setup and installation - It’s wireless! A must have for us - Six-month battery (remains to be tested) - Excellent image quality in all circumstances: HD, HDR, and night vision - Fantastic field of view - Capable of connecting through WiFi Things I don’t love. - I wish the charging connector was USB-C. This is now one of the last few gadgets we own with a micro-USB connector - This device should allow for base station connection - The live-video chat has a significant delay sometimes. I will continue to work on why that is happening, but that is a bit of a disappointment. One of the primary reasons for getting a video doorbell is to interact with people at the door. I feel that this feature should work perfectly, every time. Overall, this is a great video doorbell that provides convenient wireless installation and powerful features. We are very happy with this doorbell.

It’s awesome and easy to install I been a Arlo fan for 6 years I’m happy with the wireless cameras and now with the doorbell

Fantastic purchase. Very happy with quality and ease of use. Much better than Ring and a few others we tried in the past

Got this 6-7 months ago. Battery life is still at 70%. Works great

Amazing views with this camera and cool ring. I love it

Love it just had a two second delay but other then that the image is great and then battery life is perfect. Definitely recommend it.

I’ve always wanted to have replace our old doorbell with a new one that has a camera. We finally bought this and the Arlo essential cameras after postponing for 2yrs. This had good reviews overall without breaking the bank. I’m a woman and not technical, but I was able to replace our wired doorbell with our new Arlo doorbell and the 3 security cameras around the house by just following the instructions. We don’t need to go to the door to see who’s there. It just makes life more convenient and secure. Overall it’s a Great product, so easy to setup, and we are so pleased with our purchase.

To my surprise the Arlo video doorbell wire-free is an excellent product. The installation was very simple and the video quality is excellent. The only con with this model is the night vision which is not as clear. Also, there's a few seconds delay in video/video calls. I highly recommend buying the chime to pair with the doorbell. If not, the doorbell will only alert (call) your cell phone.

I thought it was super cool that a phone call comes through on my phone when someone rings the doorbell. I didn’t know that was a feature when I bought it.
