    It's OK, but not a complete system

    I purchased the Arlo device due to the design and security features, but after the 90 day free trial for cloud storage, the doorbell itself has no built in functionality to store videos. This means a person could steal a package off your front porch, then a car drives by and you would have no way of tracking back to see the prior videos for the past 3 or 4 hours, which other devices like this offer, unless you want to subscribe to their cloud storage which is $9.99 a month; a little pricey for what you get. It is also super sensitive (I live on a busy street and sidewalk) and even with the sensitivity turned all the way down, it still chimes at me.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Delayed Notification

    I do like the doorbell. The only con is the notification delay. Movement is detected several seconds after the object has passed. For example, a person walking by the doorbell, the notification is sent several seconds afterwards. By this time, the walker is halfway down the street.

    This camera is better than the vast majority and is priced correctly. For those who have never used a smart doorbell, home security camera through wifi, etc, be aware that there is a small delay on the live video and audio. It's just the nature of the technology. You are not going to be able to get video in perfect "real time" even if your internet is outstanding.
