    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.

    Alexa worked, now it doesn't

    Have owned for 2 years and was mostly pleased (4 stars), but one of my pet peeves is bait and switch. A product that works fine, suddenly stops working fine after a software update. One of the features of the doorbell is Alexa integration. Alexa notifies you if there is motion at the door. Well, it worked great untill a few months back. Now it falsely notifies of motion constantly. The Arlo app itself doesn't send a motion notification, only Alexa - so it has something to do with integration. And, per the official forums, lots of people have this problem with no solution. Arlo response "working as designed", Well that's crap. It worked, now it doesn't. I still have products from 20-30 years ago that still work exactly as designed with no loss of functionality. Is it really so hard to make sure your products continue to provide the functionality you promised when you sold them.

    Waited almost a year before posting a review. I bundle this with 3 Arlo Pro cameras and the $10 a month subscription. Outstanding quality and piece of mind when I am away from home. Smart alerting for packages, people or animals is very accurate. Easy install and a great option for home security.

    Would be 5 stars if not for the monthly bill.

    The doorbell itself works great but won't do anything if you don't have the subscription plan. Also the doorbell plan can not be combined with the regular ARLO camera plan.

    We were so happy to hear Arlo came out with a video doorbell! This ties into our Arlo Pro security camera setup nicely. We haven’t had any problems with it so far.

    Definitely worth getting the Arlo camera if you already have the arlo system up and running at your house. I used to have ring but I didn’t like having to log into another app to just view it. The video is very crispy and loads very fast. You won’t go wrong on picking this up on sale!
