    Awesome addition to our regular Arlo camera system. I love that we are not forced into paying for a cloud storage system like other video doorbells (RING).

    Great picture quality. I like the package and person identification feature. I also like the doorbell going to my phone as either a phone call or a push notification. We are never able to get the chime hooked up to my existing chime wiring, but that was almost a bonus since my dogs hate doorbells.

    This is my second Arlo Video Doorbell. Same problems with both. The angle plate makes installation difficult. It warps easy, making connecting the actual camera to the baseplate challenging, if not impossible. The screws and anchors need to be drilled at an angle. Getting the correct angle if you're drilling in stucco with a masonry bit is not covered in any instructions. Stucco is not meant to be drilled that way. Try it and you see how it spalls off, requiring a stucco patch. The integration with with the Arlo App is purely cosmetic. There doesn't seem to be any real advantage to sticking with Arlo versus any other more reliable doorbell. The worst aspect is the WiFi connectivity. This DOES NOT connect to your base station. It uses WiFi and mimics connectivity through the app. The lag is SO bad, using a consistent Arlo device renders it ineffective.

    It performs as advertised. I plan to add the Arlo cameras at a later time to match the doorbell. So far so good.

    Works well with existing inside doorbell. Sound is adequate but no great. Con: considerable delay from time button is pushed and signal received on iPhone.

    Works fantastic and fits right in with the arlo app to have all your cameras in 1 app, just know you get 3 months free but after that there is a subscription to use this

    Love arlo security technology! We previously had the white and black one but we have dark grey (ironstone) siding and thought the black would look better, thus we bought it! We were right! Black was a better color choice for dark siding! The wired one is so easy to replace yourself and set up brand new!
