    Just recently brought the new ARLO video doorbell. We are loving it. It does everything we want in a video doorbell. Happy with all of my ARLO products, brought and installed by Best Buy.

    Good product, a little difficult to install, depends on your needs, otherwise go with the wireless version.

    Bought this to go with my Arlo camera's. I have yet to hook it up but will soon. I love the features it has and it will be a good fit with my camerams. I love the camera so I'm hopping this is just as nice!

    I love the view from the camera. I am pleased with the wide angle that it has. Sensitivity is a little too much, but I guess I’ll live with that !

    Installation was easy. The Arlo app walks you through it step by step. It worked on the first try. I was happy to find out that i can answer it from the Home app instead of the Arlo app if i want. I want one app to control everything, and i was worried about a doorbell that wasnt Secure Video compatible. Pleased so far!

    Overall good purchase, but sometimes the video “sticks.” We purchased a WiFi extender to help, it does for the most part.

    Be careful if you have very old door chimes.

    We have an old house (1920s) and the electric door chimes (circa 1950s?) did not work after we installed this new doorbell. We spent an hour or so on various calls with Arlo customer service and they could not fix the problem. They tried everything, but no luck. I was a bit surprised they did not offer a digital door chime as a replacement. The doorbell itself works fine.

    I purchased this after researching for several weeks and coming across multiple online rating sites, including Cnet, that listed Arlo video doorbell as the top recommended doorbell. Installation was simple. Connecting to my wifi was simple. Use is simple. The app is simple. Video coverage is complete and simple to set viewing parameters. Definitely a good purchase.

    Arlo Video Doorbell record all movements in front of your home and it’s smart enough to recognize if it’s a person, animal or just a package delivered to your porch. Really good product.

    Arlo wired doorbell not worth the price

    The video is great, but the setup and connection reliability are downright lousy. Customer support is a process of continual repeated questions. The first doorbell was mostly DOA. The 2nd one worked 8 weeks then lost the WiFi connection. (A common problem from reading internet comments.) 3 attempts to re-establish an online status have failed. Returning for something more reliable.

    Very pleased with this product. Instructions were straight forward and installation was a breeze. The resolution and the effectiveness of the notifications leave nothing to be desired.

    I picked the Arlo doorbell up vs Ring due to the fact that I already had Arlo wireless cameras setup around the house. I've been very satisfied and it definitely matches up feature wise.
