    Terrible Local Recording Options

    Without a subscription, you cannot adjust motion detection areas for the camera or view local USB stored recordings from the app (only from a PC with the USB connected). Disgusting lockdown of features just to milk more money out of customers.

    Major connection issues, video doesn’t work. Have reset several times with persistent issue. I regret not returning and getting another brand. My old gen one Ring worked without issues. Will be selling this on eBay for a massive loss. I will not buy another Arlo product ever.

    If you have an issue be prepared. I’ve been going back and forth with Arlo on this doorbell for months now. At this point they want me to send it to them and pay for the shipping. The link to do this doesn’t work either. What a joke this has turned out to be.

    STAY AWAY (unless you're already stuck with Arlo)

    Stay away. The original and replacement each failed within a few weeks of initial power up. The replacement (a refurb) destroyed the house's decades-old transformer and a new plug-in transformer. It also failed a few days after the 1 year warranty had expired, so Arlo Support took no responsibility. They offered an "amazing" 30% discount coupon on a new unit's MSRP, which was useless because top retailers priced it well below MSRP.
