    Only issue is with some type of “static” sound. Picture is pretty clear. About a 6 - 7 second delay from activity to camera notification. The background noise is the most annoying. Arlo Community also has seen several complaints about the background noise.

    Good doorbell, video quality is good, however you have to pay a month to use this thing, I mean you can use it but can't see recordings just real time stuff, the arlo 2 cameras record for 7 days without paying wish this was like that too.

    The doorbell install was very easy. The only problem I've had is trying to install to arlo hub. When I select the option for directions to install to hub screen goes blank. Right now it working but is not installed on hub. Also the free trial comes with doorbell will not allow me to add other arlo camera to plan to try.
