    I tried using the "wireless" version of this Video Doorbell...but it didn't work...so I ended up spending extra for the "wired" version. I didn't have any problems with the wired version. It works fine and picture quality is good. I'd recommend it.

    We wired the doorbell to our existing doorbell wiring and for some reason it is putting off a signal to my refrigerator which is near the door chime and it makes my refrigerator make a very loud noise when it is hooked up. It is not a smart refrigerator just a regular one. It also is making my door chime continually ring. I’m not sure if it is the transmitter on the doorbell. I had to unhook it before it did damage to my refrigerator. I went to and called Best Buy but they did not have a solution. I was really hoping it would work because when it was hooked up except for these problems it was working good. Hopefully someone reading this will have a solution to fixing it.

    If you already have Arlo cams then this works great with them. It will also work without them if you desire.

    Huge audio delay when talking through camera

    I don't understand the high reviews for this doorbell camera. One of the main functions, speaking through the camera - ie two way talk - either manually initiated or when someone rings the doorbell DOES NOT WORK (at least on their Android app). Well, it works, but there is a 5-10 second delay (BOTH WAYS!) to hear the audio. This makes it completely useless to have a conversation. I can't talk to my family when they get home and are unloading the car. I can't talk to people at my door. Just search online for "Arlo doorbell audio delay" and look for yourself. This issue goes back years (at least since 2017) and Arlo still can't fix it and this is not unique to the doorbell. The same issue happens with their top end Ultra 2 cameras (I had 5) connected to their smart hub base. My doorbell (wired) was directly connected to my top end Netgear Orbi 6E mesh system with gigabit (1000 Mbps) internet up and down. The main router was roughly 15 feet away from the doorbell. The issue was present at all times even if I was on the same wireless connection as the doorbell, my work wireless, or mobile 5G data. I'm using a current, flagship Android phone with the latest Arlo app update. No amount of rebooting (phone, doorbell, router), removing the doorbell from my account, resetting it and adding it back, uninstalling the app and reinstalling it fixed the issue. Arlo's support is terrible. I work in IT and deal a lot with tech support groups from all different companies. Arlo ranks among the top in the lack of understanding of their own products and just providing terrible assistance. After opening a ticket with them about this issue, clearly explaining the audio delay and also explaining all the forums about this problem dating back years, the Arlo tech support rep's response was sending me a link about how to use the talk feature in the app (ie press the microphone icon to speak). I couldn't believe it. Given the long history of this issue with no hope of a resolution, I returned the doorbell. Would absolutely not recommend this product. Your experience may vary (like iPhone users), but there were iPhone users in the forums I read having the same issue.

    It would have been nice to know I needed to buy a subscription to use the camera after 3 month. It’s 10$ a month. Just a warning to anyone that thinks it may be free to use like I did. We use it daily. It’s a good product.
