    I am certainly enjoying my video doorbell. This product has excellent clarity, live viewing and several features as well. The motion detection can identify whether a person, vehicle, animal, or package as filming. The videos are stored in a cloud (90 free trial for these features, afterwards a monthly fee).

    took a little woodworking to get the unit to fit the door area , we had brick mould casing so the unit would not sit flat , 2 minutes with a chisel and all is good . works like a charm picked up csrs going by until we turned the sensitivity down . Sacred the heck out of a delivery person when he rang the bell and it answered !!

    Easy installation, worked well, surprised the unit only operated at 2.4GHz Ethernet. Unfortunate the motion field framing isn't working well. It's picking up automobile motion outside the motion frame which is frustrating and causing notifications to pile up.

    Best Video Doorbell Yet!

    I have tried them all, and the Arlo is the best so far. I had the Nest Hello Cam and it was good, but the delay when it detected motion until you got notified was too long for me. Also I like not having to do anything but answer my phone when someone rings the doorbell. The picture quality is on par with the Nest but has more user friendly features for me like pairing it to Alexa and having a Christmas song for the chime and so on.

    Great video quality and a big field of vision. Bit of work to get connected and to get software running. Didn't care for the online walk through installation procedure. Seems expensive to have to pay for the 4K monthly to get full features.

    Easy to use, easy to set up, great picture, and no requirement for a monthly subscription. Of course, if you do subscribe, you get more features but it isn't required like some other devices.

    Literally only took me 15 minutes to install and get up and running. One of the easiest installs ever. I love the fact that the software can recognize different kind of movement. I can filter out vehicle movement and only get notifications from people movement. This is definitely the smart doorbell to get!

    Instructions were not totally clear but figured out that the existing chime did not have to be involved. Screws had to be driven just right for the doorbell frame or the cover would not go on. All in all, it was easy to add and the video is very clear.

    I purchased this item when it first came out. The installation instructions was very easy to follow. The physical instructions were accurate and attachment to the doorbell ringer was easy if you follow instructions. The resolution is excellent and the features are practical and easy to configure on the Arlo app. Very good product.

    Works great, but sends alert every time a car drives by, which is annoying. Two way communication was clear and loud enough. Was easy to install. Definitely worth the money. I bought it over another brand due to keeps memory up to a week without any additional charges and is compatable with additional cameras purchased.

    The camera is great and installation was easy, however the app needs additional user functionality to allow for different notifications for different users, in addition, would like to shut off motion notifications, among other options for utility.

    Great smart doorbell. We love this thing. It connects to my phone quickly and gives me notifications when there is movement. I can also set movement zones on the app so cars driving by don’t set off a notification. Picture is clear and crisp. Also love that the company is committed to use privacy.

    The Doorbell works very well. The video is clear and gives you an excellent vertical view. The angel may be wide, but that is further out from your front door. However, I believe it's probably the best that a video doorbell could be. For good clear video during the night, keep your porch light on.
