    The mic on it is really good, I can hear even when someone is talking quietly. The app is pretty laggy and the doorbell is too. I would have gotten the ring doorbell if the mic quality was better.

    Loved it when the free service was active. Not so much when we had to begin paying a monthly fee when our other arlo cameras included free seven day history of recordings.

    This works great. It’s a little sensitive on the motion detection, but my front door faces directly into the sun for part of the day. Was pretty easy to install.

    I had to return it. I had a house with a nu tone doorbell and speaker and bit the dust. Thought I could use this instead but it is not supported in this format so I returned it.

    It’s ok.. does the job... unfortunately it gets into reset mode and then I have to restart. Still I think these devices are pricy for the technology they bring in as compared to cameras
