    I see people buy Ring all the time I’m more of an Arlo fan, I decided to start with the doorbell and may I say it has been the best door bell I have seen, it’s super fast, super clear and it’s super smart, it detects animals and states it, vehicles and people. You can see live footage, and you are able to talk and expect the response to be really clear. I definitely recommend Arlo over Ring

    I have the hard-wired doorbell. It works great. The sound is very clear, and the picture is also. There is about a 5 second delay in notification. I just purchased the floodlight camera.

    The camera quality is great and what I wanted. My only problem was the setup. I got stuck (and extremely frustrated) when the app kept saying it couldn’t find my arlo device when it was clearly on. It took my AT LEAST 15 tries/resets. Other than that, I am very happy with this product.

    I already have two Arlo camera systems and I was hoping that by adding a doorbell camera I could complete my camera security needs. The doorbell does not integrate as well as I hoped. Installation was easy and product quality is OK. I would hope that Arlo gives some software that lets me connect.

    Very easy install if you’re familiar with basic tools. Step by step guide is nearly foolproof. The only step not clear is that you need to finish the app registration before the chime will work. I spent extra time trying to figure out if the wiring was off when all I needed to do was finish the steps in the app.

    A new security to stop theft. While it can be aa annoying alert it does work and very well. You have to customize it to your needs. If you have heavy foot traffic near your door it WILL alert you unless you set it to minimize or no audible alert. It will still save short video clips for 30 days. Alerts come to your phone no matter where you are.

    For the most part I'm happy with the product. Video is excellent, speaker is loud, app is pretty good, and cloud AI functions work for the most part. The bad: too much lag compared to other doorbells, especially noticeable when using 2 way talk. Big and no color faceplates.

    The camera itself is amazing but the lag on the doorbell speaker is awful. It makes it hard to chat with the person who os ringing the doorbell.

    We have it working on Wifi. Works great and shows a lot. I wish there was a feature to show video when doorbell rings rather than start an audio call, perhaps in a future software update! Had issues getting it working over the smarthub, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

    This is a great doorbell camera! Amazing picture quality! You can adjust the sensitivity of the device to your preference so you don’t pick up every wind blowing a leaf around. BestBuy curbside pick-up made it simple to get my item. Pulled up, entered my spot # and 3 minutes later I’m driving home. Great service and great product. I would highly recommend!

    Love the doorbell. Would have given it 5 stars but we had problems installing it. Mainly because the instructions were so easy. I made no allowances for the 'what if's' that probably happen to more than one of us. When we had the house built 20+ years ago little did we know the electrician did not use bell wire. He used wire that looked like a bowl of spaghetti rainbows. Hit and miss till we got the right combo. Yes we did install a new transformer because we figured that was outdated. Next was a wifi problem. Arlo refused to recognize my google mesh. I hooked up my old router and ran it thru the mesh to get contact. So that problem was solved. Finally got a successful link just in time to witness an Amazon delivery. How nice.

    I do love the camera, and how user friendly it is. I’m not super fond of when the doorbell rings, and your phone is locked, it doesn’t open up the app to view (I’m guessing this is due to Apple more than anything). It is very quick at picking up who is at my front door though.

    JUst had it installed and my only regret is not getting two when they were on sale in December for $99! They are amazing to have! Picked up a raccoon that apparently lives next door just casually strolling by! Purchased because my old doorbell had died and I figured I would just get a video upgrade and I’m loving every second of it!
