    I love this thing. Love the way it notifies you with a preview image of the vid. Way better than Skybell - in my opinion.

    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!

    Complicated install for certain chimes.

    Install was tricky despite having the appropriate transformer and wiring. Support was unable to help stating my wired chime was too complicated. I eventually consulted Reddit and figured it out but it was a pain. Now that it is installed it works well. 2 way communication is spotty and someone when answering the bell all I hear is static.

    Clarity wasn't bad, but limited view, couldn't see my driveway with it. I had Vi8int before and now have ring and they both show it. Also I wasn't getting alerts. Tried adjusting settings, but would not alert my phone. Again, both of the other too do alert. For just a basic doorbell camera, it would be fine.

    What a headache to say the least. When I first installed it, it worked beautifully. After 24 hours it just stopped working. Changed the password on my WiFi and couldn’t get the doorbell to connect. I tried everything. In my experience I don’t think it’s worth all the hype!

      Thank you for taking the time to share your Arlo Video Doorbell (Wired) experience. If you are still unable to get your Arlo Video Doorbell connected, consider resetting your Arlo Video Doorbell. Resetting your Video Doorbell returns it to default settings. Your doorbell is also removed from your Arlo account when you reset it. This means that you must use the Arlo app to add and set up your Video Doorbell after a reset. For steps to reset your Arlo Video Doorbell, check out the user manual (page 56): https://bit.ly/3jgPl26. If you require additional assistance, please send us an email at askarlo@arlo.com and include a screenshot of your review, your email address linked to your Arlo account and your contact number.

    Arlo doorbell is the best ever, especially with the 360 view which allows me to see the whole front door area and notify me when delivery arrives. Thank you!
