    Installation was pretty straightforward although it was a bit of a challenge to get the wires tucked properly so doorbell would snap in place. Slight lag in time between when button is pushed and video call is active, but that’s to be expected. It’s nice not to have to worry about a battery.

    Doesn’t Capture Everything

    I’ve had it for two months. It does the job of capturing folks coming to your , but the sidewalk is close to our front door and it does not always capture people walking buy even though it’s supposed to capture that area. That includes animals coming to do their business on our lawn. The other cameras we have help capture those movements. The doorbell is finicky sometimes it starts to ring on the phone but then you can’t actually answer it. Sometimes I am able to answer it but only in voice mode so I can’t see who is out there. Our house isn’t very big but it has an addition in the back and the noise of the doorbell doesn’t travel that far back, we may end up getting an extra ringer to put in the back part so we can hear it.

    The view is wide so you capture more that what you intend. The zone doesn't work as well as I would like! It still captures things that are not in the zone so I get alerted. Nice to see guest and packages when they arrive.

    I didn’t think it would be so easy to install but it works better than expected. Good video and motion detection even tells you whether it is a person or package even a pet.

    I have several Arlo products but resisted their doorbell due to the lack of HomeKit support. Finally in 2021, they added HomeKit support to the wired and wireless doorbell. This allows you to use a HomePod as a chime, see a video on your AppleTV and Home app.
