    It took time for updates for Smart hub and Video Door bell, but it worked right out of the box. Package detection works great.

    I have arlo cameras and couldn’t wait for Arlo to come out with a video doorbell. I already have a hardwire doorbell so it was perfect.

    Reliability

    Stops detection activity

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had my Arlo doorbell for exactly 1 year now and all of a sudden it stops detecting motion, packages, people, animals, everything. So I go to the app and check settings and it works, for a day or two. So I reset it and it works, for a day or two. So I contact Arlo and get sent through the standard try this try that, even though I’ve explained to them I’ve already done this. 5 hours later I have no answers why the doorbell goes to sleep and doesn’t wake to activity. This doorbell is totally unreliable. I install these and other tech products for my clients and will have to axe this one from the list.

    I think this is the only product to have 180 degree viewing angle which covers the complete front yard. Great product and features.
