    Live view is very delayed and I have 300/Mbps connection with full signal. Flickers a lot and I still haven't gotten the two way audio to work. Had a Ring before and it was a much better product.

    Sorry Arlo, I really wanted this to work. I tried over and over to get this camera to connect to my network. I'm guessing it was defective so I returned it. I ended up with a Nest camera which hooked up so quick and I was using it with minutes of installation. Arlo, another thing is that your installation software was difficult to move through. I ended up hating the software to install the device before I realized the device was bunk. I have Arlo outdoor cameras that are the bomb though!

    Works well, Great video feed. Not happy that in order for your doorbell chime to work after a certain period you are forced into payment mode. I understand if you are using the cloud and storage but the chime too?? Not a fan.
