So far so good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Happy so far with this product, but 4 stars because the quality of the video is not as perfect as I thought, sometime having distortions with movement. Had to buy another angle mount to see a little better in front of my door.

A good Premium Video door bell camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall it is good with all the features you would expect from premium video door bell. However, I would love to have it completely integrated with Google or Alexa assistant like Push notification with video notification there.

About time!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Arlo took way too long to get this to market. I am super happy it is finally here so I don't have to add a second smart platform to my home. Only issue is I wish they had a mount that angled even further for side wall installations.

Best video doorbell
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Arlo Video Doorbell to replace the Ring Video Doorbell and complement my Arlo Pro 3 Camera setup. This camera works much better than the ring doorbell in terms of video resolution, detection and accuracy. I often got "backed out" video with the ring doorbell and couldn't see what it recorded.

Good product. Needed a home base to use Homekit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was a good doorbell with a good picture and features. I should have read more on this doorbell about its homekit capability requirements before buying. You have to have a home base station to be able to use homekit on this doorbell. Since I have Ring cameras I don’t have a Arlo Homebase. Good product, I’m just not willing on spending an extra $300 for a home base.

Absolute worst!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible purchase. I bought two of them and only got one installed. Extremely unreliable. It's never functional when I need it to be. Sound and video don't work when someone rings the doorbell, which you don't get notified of for minutes after they ring. When you finally see who's at the door, you can't hear them when they speak. If there is some kind of notification, you can't see it for hours, or even until the next day, so what's the use of having these things if it doesn't function as a doorbell, communication system or for security purposes? You want to see your video clips and are told they aren't available. The "team is working on it". It tells you over and over again you aren't connected to the net when you are at 100%. It makes you log in repeatedly. When someone is at the door, their image is totally blurred so you can't see if anyone is there at all. And this is paying the extra $9.99 a month for their better Smart plan. Oh, and I forgot about the "customer service". They are in some far off country where English is their 2nd language. They haven't a clue how to help you. When I call they just ask me over and over again what the issue is, then ask me to wait a minute while they ask others, then come back and ask again the same questions. They never have any solutions. Total waste of money. And I have another one yet to install. They've spent fortunes on slick ads and TV commercials but have a terrible product. I'd like to know how these folks who give glowing reviews got so lucky.

Perfectly priced
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This fits well with all my other Arlo products. Operates as stated with no problems. The has great value for the price. The only thing that's missing is being able to use voice commands with Google Home otherwise would have gave it 5 stars

Good doorbell... setup could be better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since we just installed this doorbell, we really can't comment on the performance history. But as far as installation, the actual mounting was easy (even with the angled bracket). Did have some difficulty getting our hub to sync with the doorbell using the phone app. After several attempts of resetting and reverifying, we finally went to our computer and got it on the first try. Do like the camera view angles.

Great doorbell, works as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device, works as expected. Had some pic snapshot issue in the beginning but was easily fixed with a factory reset. Has some interesting features compared to my older wired "smart" doorbell

Would recommend
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it. Seems so much better than Ring and other doorbells. The online storage is much cheaper than others as well. I only took away a star because there are some features I think are missing from the app software.

Good video doorbell choice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Arlo video doorbell works fine with the iPhone and also with the Google nest. The only downside is that the package doesn't include wedges to orient it any desired direction and the included wedge is unusable.

Great Video Doorbell
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We added the Arlo Video Doorbell to our existing Arlo camera system and it works great. We did need to replace our existing doorbell transformer though as it was not provided the correct voltage. Instructions were automated through the app and fairly easy to follow but could use some more detail in places.

Great Doorbell Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well with my Amazon Echo show speaker. The HD quality is really clear and crisp on my iphone screen when someone is at the door. I love that it’s wired to my existing doorbell so I can can actually here when someone is at the door while I’m home and don’t have to rely on my phone.
