    Needs some sort of guide/manual to explain the complete operation of item after it is installed. The questions and answers & community feedback aren't quite enough. I will have to call in (and wait on hold) in order to get answers to my questions.

    Love it!! Love the app and love the video doorbell. Only thing I don’t love is that it lags. It’s about 5-10 seconds behind. I’ll be in the driveway and I’ll check the video and my truck will be coming down the street about to pull in. Other than that I love it!!

    The best video doorbell I've ever had. Beautiful clear videos that are easily accessible on my iPhone app. A "no-brainer" to instal. I get alert of activity with the field of view, which can be adjusted to reduce or eliminate false alerts. To top if off it's well designed and well made.

    video and motion sensing is excellent. Having a little trouble with the audio when I try and speak through it to people at the door (echoing, static), but that feature isn't that important to me. As a security device its been great so far! (owned for a couple weeks)

    Nice door bell. It works as advertised. It contacted easily to out WiFi system. Our ring system had stoped working and was always troublesome. So far so good with this.

    It's a great product but ultimately decided to return it because the lack of a battery powered option was a problem. This is a major disappointment seeing as the rest of the Arlo lineup primarly prides itself on not requiring a power source.

    It is above my expectations. Easy to install and easy to use the app. I'd prefer if it gave more ring sound options.

    Great camera and you can use existing wired chime. Unfortunately it requires an Arlo subscription to get any real use out of it and is difficult to pair with HomeKit
