After having a flawless life of 2 years with an Arlo Q, I was eagerly waiting for the Arlo Video doorbell so that I could use the existing app to monitor the door as well. Installed the camera today and here is my review. First Impression: Solid built....but....! The door bell is really solid and really well built and even the accessories are of great quality except for a small issue. With the angled back plate in place, the provided screw head does not really sit flush with the back plate. It pushes the camera and hence the door bell had to be forced into the back plate. The back plate is not so rigid, hence if you have a uneven surface such as a brick wall, there is every chance that tightening both the screws will WARP the back plate and hence you would not be able to push the door bell into it. Would be talking to a Arlo representative on this issue. Installation: Except for the issue mentioned above, the app based user guide was really great and spot on. I could have finishes the installation in less than 30 mins if I did not had the trouble of aligning the door bell to the back plate. Operation: Flawless. The app is really great and user friendly. The notifications are somehow much faster with the door bell than the Arlo Q. The voice message notification to the visitor is loud and clear and they should not have any difficulty in hearing this even in storms. Video Quality: Excellent The video quality is amazing, especially the night mode which is really great. Coverage: The best of all door cams. With 180 degree coverage, you can be sure that you can your packages are never taken by a dog or a cat :) The best feature: In built SIREN. Yes, In Built! You don't need to have another accessory or a base station for this siren. It's in the door bell and its loud.

I installed the new Arlo Video Doorbell. This doorbell is amazing. On the first night the Video doorbell caught what looks like a pregnant Racoon. The 2k video quality, wide coverage and the 1.1 aspect ratio are far more superior to any product out there now. The Arlo app is awesome. The smart alerts for packages, animals, person, vehicles... This was an addition to my 10 Arlo ultra cameras. This doesn't need a base. This has a lot more features than I'm describing and installation was very easy. I'm super happy. The photos are screenshots from my phone.

I've had it for 2 weeks or so. I went with this over Ring because of the hacking incident, but mostly because it had better image quality, works with Amazon Echo Show, more field of view and cheaper than Nest. My only complaint is that I get notifications a minute or two after event, and sometimes live view seems to lag but only for a few seconds. Might be cause of all my kids on wifi, I'll have to look into that. But overall very pleased, it's not as big as I thought it would be and doesn't have the annoying chime like ring does. Happy so far.
