    I’ve had my doorbell working for a few days and really like it. I get a message every time someone comes to my door. Great for knowing when packages get dropped off...especially during Christmas. The only thing that I’m trying to get used to is the delay in video. There can be about a 15 second delay. Even with the delay, I really like it.

    Good...But Not Great

    I purchased the Arlo Wired Video Doorbell through Costco while it was on sale and included a year subscription to Arlso Smart. First, I did not have a wired doorbell prior and purchased through Amazon an adapter that works with this product. Second, I replaced a Ring Video Doorbell Pro (1st edition) with the Arlo. I wasn't happy with the Ring Doorbell because after a few weeks the footage began to lag and skip, first during playback and then during live viewing. The Arlo is smaller and is aesthetically pleasing from the road and as one walks up to my home. The con so far, which is possibly my router, the lag began day 2 and hasn't stopped. My other con for the Arlo Video Doorbell would be the lack of ability to go back and watch the video feed, its the short and I mean short clip that is recorded and that's it. Overall I give it 3 stars so far. I may update this later

    Better than I thought

    I reviewed several brands of video door bells. Arlo stood out mainly because of the 180 deg lens. You can see the ground without cutting off the heads. Im glad I could use the wired instead of the battery as it has extra features I didn't see in the description. Like the 4 seconds of video before the motion is triggered. Software is working great. Couldn't be happier.

    Clear video but some drawback

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

    Installation was straightforward. I have AlroSmart but I wish there was a better way to detect vehicles and not receive notification every time. It works mostly but not always. There is a delay between the audio/video and the person at door. Sometimes the video is too short and I wish it kept recording.

    It's great, install was easy and the video quality is great. The only thing I wish was included in the kit was an optional side cover for the doorbell

    Problem after free trial period

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

    Doorbell installation had several hiccups but finally successfully completed with excellent results. After free trial period however, the device has not been recording locally. Problem was reported to Arlo, but their initial instructions for fix failed...and no response received yet to my follow up failure report.
