    Was hoping it would be better, but it wasn't.

    I had the Ring Doorbell 2 before this. I thought this Arlo would be better but it really wasn't. The "delay" in video or motion detection was longer than with the Ring Doorbell (with Arlo it was easily 6-12 seconds). And yes, I have a very strong WiFi system setup (not crappy ISP equipment). I also noticed that the Ring Doorbell 2 had better night vision. I ended up returning this, as I have discovered all video doorbells have a video delay, so I am reverting back to my regular doorbell and installing POE cameras to cover the area I need. POE will be hard-wired with ethernet cords to my router, so there won't be a video delay as I don't have to wait for the video to process within the "cloud" servers first. For some folks, the video delay might not be a big deal, but for me it is.

    It will not (currently) link with the Arlo chime. Yes, chime, like doorbell chime! What the heck else would you use a chime for! I’m keeping the video doorbell in hopes they make a software change to allow these products to work together. REDICulous!

    I installed it myself but not with out a problem (in our house) the unit is flawless. my transformer went bad, wires were broken. While looking for transformer I had to follow the low voltage wire. So between the wiring I found a massive water leak from our newly remodeled bath. Had it not been for Arlo and the wiring my crawl space would have eventually rotted away :-). .... thank you Arlo Chris Wilmington NC
