    So my Ring Pro video just stopped working. Since I already have Arlo pro devices, we decided to go with Arlo video doorbell. The integration was stress free. Works great so far.

    Make sure to have the small power filter installed on your bell transformer first, otherwise it won't power up.

    The addition of the Arlo video doorbell camera has worked very well with my existing Arlo security system. Synchronization was very easy.

    This was a bit more challenging at install because it is wired. After it was all said and done the picture and sound quality is great. I enjoy the Arlo Doorbell.

    I found the Arlo doorbell to have a several second lag time. Picture has good clarity at night. Can['t seem to get it to download on my S22 for some reason. My wife had her downloaded easily on her S21. Have not installed the outdoor camera[s yet.

    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.

    It’s been almost a week and I like it so far. One thing I wish was faster is connectivity to the camera once motion is detected, ie wish it was a little speedier, as it lags.

    You get a lot of features for the price. The only thing holding it back is the 3 to 4 second delay on the video.
