    Hard wire into existing wired door bell is a good way to go, no batteries to charge/easy to install/it lets you know the difference between a person or vehicle or animal.

    Switched to this doorbell from our ring to have everything on one system (arlo). Having everything on one app is great. I really like the wide angle camera and the improvements arlo has done with "person" and "animal" detection.

    Purchased this doorbell based on great reviews, however, was very disappointed. By far, my worst customer service experience in a very long time. Installation was straightforward for a wired doorbell. When connecting to the phone, app, and wireless network, the Arlo App and the doorbell itself had several issues with picking up the QR code and our Eero Wireless Mesh Router. Per Arlo customer service, the Eero is not compatible with Arlo, without several workarounds. Arlo offered to send a replacement or advise me on REPLACING MY HOME'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM -- all to make a doorbell work. What made things worse were that I had to be on hold for over 15 hours with Arlo support given their poor staffing in the last two months. Incredibly long hold times and largely unhelpful level 1 support staff. Level 2 was more helpful, but it is clear that Arlo/Netgear are not looking out for the customer.

    Great doorbell with great features. My house didnt have any original doorbell wiring, so this product worked great. I have it paired with my google home so it notifies me when someone rings my doorbell.

    Bought the Arlo doorbell to keep an watchful eye on porch pirates and to have notifications of movement around home. Easy to install. Customer service lacked as there is no phone number to reach out for instructions and trouble shooting. There is a video on YouTube to assist. I upgraded my internet connection to 5g and am no longer able to use this device………..

    Very happy with Arlo doorbell. Would be 5 star but thought had homekit support from what I had read. But apparently only with an additional hub that is out of stock

    I struggled between buying a Ring 2 or an Arlo. Since I already had Arlo cameras, the doorbell integrated perfectly in the Arlo app. There was even a video showing me step by step instructions on how to install!

    Arlo devices are great in quality and clarity for camera picture plus you will get full 180 degree angle to cover more area.

    It didn't take us very long after moving in to realize that it can be a little nerve wracking answering the door when you don't know whether it could be your crazy neighbor or not. With the Arlo Video Doorbell you can confidently know whether to act like you aren't home or not.

    Excellent way to view and answer the door when I’m not home. Only complaint would be that unless you’ve got good reception while remote you won’t have good video and audio.

    Motion sensor too sensitive, Good for arlo users with multiple cameras around the house, very well integrated, if this is going to be your only camera you should go for something else like ring.

    Great product. Replaced my Amazon ring with this Arlo product because my Ring kept losing wifi connection. After a dozen times of redoing Ring setup, it is now on a shelf and Arlo is working great so far. Surprised by the quality for great price.

    product works as advertised, after watching plenty of video reviews on YouTube and doing some research I figured I’d go with the Arlo doorbell cam and so far so good. App and doorbell camera work as expected. Would definitely recommend for peace of mind.

    First day I installed it didnt work. The internal battery was bad. It counted down to zero battery life. This is a wired system with an internal battery. And yes there was power to the previous doorbell. Called arlo and they said out of stock and had to wait for replacement. They suggested calling best buy to replace it.

    Great for the holidays, to see when packages arrive. We also captured an unusual person in front of our door eyeing our packages while we were out of the house and we used the microphone feature to pretend we were home. Also love the alarm feature.
