    It took me about 45 minutes to install due to having to drill into brick, but the setup was straight forward. Very good picture quality. I suggest getting the wired version over wireless so you don't have the battery issue to deal with.

    This replaced My pro 2 and Ultra at my front door for the most part. Like that it is homogenous with the system I have already bought in to. Very good response when someone presses the button, and plenty loud enough. The smart subscription and no local recording is a pain, but it works for me. Not the 4k that I enjoy on the Ultra; but still plenty sharp.

    This doorbell is great. When someone rings it , it will come up very similar to a FaceTime call on my phone.

    So far we have had no issues with this Arlo product. It's been installed for a couple of weeks. It does notify each time someone comes to door or the dogs. Clear communications with guests via the app. The only issue we did encounter during installation that we had to call Arlo helpdesk (which was great to work with) as it was not accepting my email address of swbell.net, so I had to use my gmail email address. Other than that installation was seemless.

    This is because Arlo is having connectivity issues with mesh routers. Was able to finially connect via the guest wifi but I don’t know the potential home network security risks that may cause.

    I love this smart doorbell. The sound is a little too loud so your whole neighborhood can hear what you're saying. The video sometimes lags when you open the app also. Other than that, it's a quality product and easy to use.
