    Great Video Door Bell

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

    We bought the Arlo Video Door Bell to replace our 4-year-old SkyBell when it stopped working. So far, the Arlo Video Door Bell has been so much better than our old SkyBell.

    I really like the doorbell. Great view, great resolution, and the motion is spot on. My only issue is there's no documentation with it, and having some problems with sharing it with the wife and daughter.

    Love the product performance but the install instructions were absolutely top notch. The install walkthrough left me no question that it would work as intended once it powered up.

    Great Security Addition

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

    It’s a security camera and a working doorbell. I like the added security it gives as a deterrent to thieves trying to steal delivered packages and also let’s me know if anyone approaches my front door.

    Perfect Video Doorbell

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

    I started off with a Google Nest doorbell. The video recording on that was awful. It was always 2-3 seconds into the motion and wouldn't allow me to go back, unless I paid for 24/7 video recording. I had Arlo cameras already set up around the house so I figured I would get the doorbell too. Best decision I ever made. Two major points put Arlo ahead of everyone. 1) the ability to get a call on your phone when someone rings the doorbell sounds over the top, but has proven helpful time and time again. 2) though it may be a bit bigger in size, the recording timing is perfect going back to exactly when the motion started.

    Love our new Arlo video doorbell. I read many articles, and Arlo stood out as being the best. I took the plunge and so glad I did. It was easy to install and easy to use. I highly recommend Arlo!

    I've never used one of these before but I LOVE it so far! Really, really great. It's awesome being able to see who's at the door, before I get to it or if I'm not home.

    The doorbell was super easy to install. It is almost idiot proof on the direction it gives. Doorbell turns on and captures everything. The zones have been nice to set to avoid traffic on the road.

    Easy to install and great video quality

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

    I bought the Arlo Video Doorbell after comparing the different doorbell offerings from different companies. It arrived well packaged and was easy to set up, as long you follow directions. I like that it is HomeKit compatible, but it’s worth noting that you’ll need not an Arlo hub and the Apple hub (Apple tv or whatever you’re using) in order to use this or any Arlo camera with HomeKit. I have siding on my house, so to keep the doorbell in a vertical plane, I also used a custom mounting kit made by a guy on Etsy (you can just search there; it’s easy to find). That made the installation look very nice, and the kit wasn’t expensive. Very happy overall.

    Been using it for few days and I love it. Setup was super easy. Took me 10 minutes to set it up. Being existing Arlo user helped. I already recommended my friends who use Arlo to get this bell.

    I was concerned that the doorbell chime would mess up but that didn't change. We created a zone so the camera doesnt alert us to traffic but motion on our yard. Perfect for our family of 5 under 6!
