    Video quality is outstanding. Love the features that this device offers. Very easy to install. Only complaint would be the lag time on “real time” updates is about 1 minute. That aside for the money this is absolutely the best you can get!

    Had the old version, it finally decided to not work. Replaced it with the new version, Camera is much brighter and clearer. Paired easier than the old one. Hope this one lasts as long.

    Initial impression

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Fairly easy to install. Have to be careful about how wires are wrapped behind it. Fairly easy to configure. Front door faces road/sidewalk and was easily able to limit it to capture people only by configuring options/zones. Overall pretty happy. Also subscription fee is acceptable.

    Really nice video doorbell

    Very easy to install and works great without a hitch. Have had no problems with connecting to my Arlo base station. Video is clear and is easy to zoom up on still picture. Still getting the hang of using my phone to answer, but that's not a problem. Happy with this and all my Arlo cameras.

    This doorbell does exactly what I needed. It is on all the time even if the system is not armed, great video, part of the Arlo system I already had. If you are looking to add another camera to the entrance scratch that idea and go with Arlo video door bell. You will not regret it.

    Great doorbell

    I love this doorbell. It was a bit tricky to set up but that might be partially because our previous doorbell wasn’t set up the right way. This is a wired doorbell so you do need to set it up with wires so that was the only negative thing however we knew that when we bought it. The video is very clear and it always records anything that moves or goes on. If someone rings your doorbell and you’re not home, the doorbell asks them to leave a message if they want. I thought that was a cool and fun feature cause they can leave you a voice and video message right at your door! The design is also very nice and looks great on our house! I would highly recommend this doorbell!

    I got this for my mother as a gift. Originally I was planning on paying to have it installed but decided to give it a go myself first. It was so easy to install, the app is great for walking you through it. The doorbell it’s self has amazing image quality and sound.

    I've been watching YouTube reviews on this and others for months now. I almost went with the Nest doorbell as I plan to get the Nest Learning Thermostat, but I'm so glad I selected this. The main selling point was the higher aspect ratio on videos. Makes a huge difference in my opinion. And I love the ability to discern between people, animals, and packages. It makes the notifications that much more useful and if I need to review them any sooner than normal. The build quality is fine and sturdy. I just want to revisit my thoughts in a few months. OH.....I almost forgot to mention the 3 month trial for the services! I wasn't aware of that, but that was a nice little surprise. Highly recommended as I went into this looking for negatives and I can't find any!

    We love this camera! It has a slight 3 second delay, but besides that, everything is great! We don't have to be home to be able to see and speak to whoever is at the door. We get an alert as soon as it detects a motion and a video call as soon as the doorbell is rung.

    Looks good and has great features. Clear video with an easy to use app but it does lag at times - not sure if the problem is at home or where I'm accessing from. Currently using the free 3 month recording and advanced features which I will probably keep.

    The Arlo wired Video Doorbell was very easy to install. It has excellent sensitivity and clear video. Even faster than my Arlo Pro2, the response time to alerting me of someone/thing being spotted is very quick. I'm glad we got it!

    Super easy to install and the app will essentially give you step by step tutorial on how to install the doorbell. Crystal clear images even at night time. AI accurately identifies objects in video, which also is super helpful.

    A video doorbell with all the bells and whistles.

    Great video doorbell that was extremely easy to install and use on the Arlo app. They thought of everything, easy and fast video and audio access to the doorbell visitor with automated generic response phrases and programability on the app.

    I recently installed the Arlo door bell and it’s super easy to install and get started. I like how we can define activity zones to reduce notification noise. It also has very good video quality in night.

    Easy to install with existing wiring / chime, video quality is great, and we have Arlo cameras so its nice to have it all in one app. Having to sign up for their plan might annoy some but we were doing it anyway since we have the cameras too.

    We bought the wired version of this doorbell. It hooked right onto the wires that were there, and it was easy to connect it to my Arlo app on my phone. Now my house has 24/7 visual security. I'm pleased with the purchase.
