    The Alro doorbell/camera itself are great. Great view, great options, looks nice. However, in order to record anything you have to have the subscription, which is fine with me. I signed up for it. But it keeps canceling on it’s own (4 times now) for no know reason and it WILL NOT record anything in that time frame. So the one time I really needed it to have recording something, it did me no good because I wasn’t away the subscription had stopped again. I am selling my Alro stuff and expanding my SimpliSafe system including replacing my arlo doorbell camera with the SimpliSafe one which I have had no issues with.

    I've had this doorbell for quite some time now and I like it. Sometimes there is a delay when communicating with someone at the door but that may be a WiFi problem.

    asy to install. Great camera view day or night. The emergency response feature is a bonus feature. The biggest thing for me is I only get notifications for things that are important unlike my previous that went off when an ant crawled up the wall. And with package detection and a better view I can actually see my deliveries when hey arrive. The other two features are when your bell is rung you get a phone call from it so you can talk to whoever is there or hey can leave you a message and if you are out of town you can have it phone a friend that is housesitting for you very easily. Overall I love this product and will be looking into the cameras next for a consistent eco system .

    Love our arlo doorbell! Looks sleek and works well with the arlo system. My only issue is that it appears on your phone as a phone call when someone rings it and then you have to answer the phone call and then wait for the arlo app to open so you can speak through it.
