    Works well from the moment I installed it. Getting the old wires to hook up was a little difficult but no fault of Arlo.

    This product was great in the beginning! We would have continued to keep this product but we moved to a different camera system. If we didn’t move our outdoor cameras to a different system this would have been perfect.

    We have the Arlo camaras too so it makes it easy. It’s not as easier to use as the hello nest but it’s fine.

    It has good video and the speaker works great. Easy to set up. It's hard to reign the motion in. It will sometime pick up a car driving by or someone walking on the sidewalk which is a ways away from the front. One last thing about the door bell. It took me forever to figure out how to shut the power down for the doorbell. It was not at the circuit breaker box. There is a silver box in my furnace room mounted on the side of an outlet, that controls the doorbell. I just disconnected the low voltage wires to kill the power for the doorbell. My house was built in 2011, so this must be standard for doorbell wiring.

    I have used video doorbells for a while and have had the pro model of another competitor for the last couple years. I purchased this Arlo doorbell and already I’d have to say the construction is better as well as the video clarity and software is much better. I am not getting all those pesky alerts that I got before for imaginary motion. All in all happy with the product with zero regrets. Sounds cheesy but I’m really happy with this doorbell.
