    We installed it on an older house, so we had to change transformer for the chime. After that, it works great. Of all the video doorbells, this one gives you the best view. You can see the person's whole body. Nothing is cut off.

    Once setup it works great. I had to do a lot of reading online to find out that I needed to upgrade my doorbell transformer to a 16V 30VA in order for my doorbell chime to still work with the video doorbell installed. Arlo says you need between a 16V or 24V 10VA transformer, but my existing 16V 10VA was not enough.

    Love this product. The wired version is best in my opinion as you do not need to charge.

    I found the doorbell okay to install - it would have been better to have both metric and english measurements for drillbit needed, call out that certain parts have one-use sticky backs, and offer an easy to find PDF for those who do not want to continuously rewind the video.

    I think Arlo is a very good doorbell overall but after 3 months they will ask you do to a plan with them to save your videos. I do not know what expect, and didn't receive any information about it in the moment I bought the device. I do not have any intention to have a monthly plan.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
