Do not buy!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this for a new home construction and did not open until time to install. The camera would not open so we took it back to Best Buy and they said we are stuck with it. Not again, will not purchase anything else here.

I wouldn't recommend it...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The power converter that attaches inside the chime doesn't generate enough power to make the doorbell work properly and it impedes the proper function of the door bell. I thought it may be the chime itself, so I bought a brand new door chime but the same thing happened. Without the power converter the door chime works great. Also, once the door bell is rung using Arlo, a voice asks if you want to record a message but it is so loud, my you can hear it across the street. I'm still trying to figure out how to turn down the volume.

Squeeze you for more money
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't buy this product. What they do not tell you on the box is that unless you pay for their subscription plan every month then most of the features mentioned will not work.

Audio & Video Lag
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The AV lag when speaking to visitors through the doorbell is frustrating. I wish also that the alerts were more customizable. I like it just fine though, which I guess is the point.
