    Works good for me but if you're getting one, go for the newer model. Package alerts work well.

    I guess you get what you paid for... at an acceptable price, i had high hopes for this item as it was marketed and advertised with so much praise. Sadly, it all falls short with night quality and its communications to my Arlo hub - some days, there are recordings that are saved and then some days, there is nothing saved, even if I received alerts.

    Since our home has Arlo cameras this is an amazing addition, Plus I love it when someone rings, it calls my phone like a WhatsApp call so I never miss the notification.

    We purchased this to go along with our camera system... the Ring camera we had had a bit more options for configuration but overall does a good job

    While much more affordable than others on the market, it is not that compatible or user friendly.

    First on the hardware: Camera is OK on regards of materials and size. Its very compact and looks sturdy. Installation is NOT straightforward and there are many steps which if not followed closely may damage the camera. Image is not so good. Light conditions like glare form sunlight affects a great deal image, and infrered is not the best. BIG problem is the app. It works fine, but you need full subscription to make the camera works, which runs up to 25$/month. Without this the camera will not have any basic feature like motion detection. This was not clearly advertised in the product detials page. As there are other options in the market which do have basic features w/o subscription I will return this product and get another one.

    This device is exactly what we needed as the volume of deliveries at our front door has increased. I like being able to speak with delivery staff, even if I am not at home.

    All in one, you get a security camera with night vision, doorbell with video, 2 way audio & alerts, plus an "alarm" feature with mobile monitoring & cloud recording option. Pretty nice. Setup videos are super helpful.

    Our video doorbell allows us to see who's "knocking" even while we're not home. We feel a lot more secure when our teen is at home alone knowing she can see who's there without ever getting close to the door.

    I like the Arlo brand. Cloud service now costs tho and doorbell isn’t as good without smart subscription. Product itself needs a more robust body design

    Absolutely love this doorbell, the homekit and alexa integration is fantastic. You can set it up to display a second screen on the tv when the button is pushed or just announce over your devices

    Had a networking issue that created a issue where connectivity was hit and miss. Nothing to do with the Video doorbell. Once solved doorbell worked great.

    After setting it up it’s great. You do need to set the range or every car that drives by your house will set it off. It also works with Alexa and the echo show. You just need to set it up in the Alexa app.

    I like this doorbell camera! My favorite thing about it is the alarm u can set off if you see someone suspicious. The speaker sounds clear and loud. View is clear and love that the camera gets wide angle.

    Very impressed by this doorbell. It catches everything and also detects whether it's a person or an animal. It has a wide viewing range and you can zoom in. No issues with it so far. Installation was a breeze.
