Overall a pretty good camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the camera quality, the ease of installation, the app’s ease of use, etc. It is a pretty good camera. However, I don’t like how quickly the batter dies. I’m pretty much charging it every three days. It also is very hard trying to find the options to get it to chime like a normal doorbell. I have a Google nest mini and I thought you could use the speaker to have a traditional chime throughout the house but no. The instructions are very vague. However those are my only two issues and otherwise it is a pretty good camera

Good for Apartments
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in an apartment and needed wire free camera. This device had everything i was Looking for and has great visuals and sounds. There is a 10 second delay but that does not bother me or my family. I was Able to grant access to my significant other who can also view on his phone while away.

Wind Ripped it off & broke it (UPDATE)
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an update to a review from about a year ago. The doorbell works well, HOWEVER, you may want to add a bracket or something to the doorbell to keep it there if you live somewhere that gets storms. Last spring, about 4 months after getting it, we had a heavy storm with strong winds. The wind ripped the camera from its holder and shattered the lens when it hit the ground. Unfortunately, my stupid self hasn't canceled the subscription yet. I am reminded every month when I see money was taken from my account for something that hasn't worked in about a year. It's good and useful. Just figure out a better way to secure it.

Good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good product once we figured out how to work it. The only downfall for us is that it keeps going off line & we have to rest it to get it working again. Other thank that the video & audio quality is great.

Amazing Doorbell
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent device with an easy step-by-step installation process. Recommend splitting the house network into 2.4 and 5 to ease installation. This device works as advertised and provides a clear feed.

Arlo is the way to go
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before I decided what brand of a video doorbell to buy, I contacted a family member who has extensive training and experience with video and audio technology. He told me Arlo was very impressive to him and stood out from its competitors. And although this is my first video doorbell purchase, I’m very impressed with the build quality, video and audio capabilities. We have a neighborhood pig who visits and the doorbell camera differentiates her from a person every time - amazing technology. The Set-up was a breeze and the Arlo app is user friendly and easily navigable. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to buy a wireless video doorbell.

Not too bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s ok. I wish it rotated with motion detection like the one in my backyard does. But it still does a great job.

Great product. but ...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality-wise this is a 5 star product but I'm knocking a star off for the negative. I'll start with the positives: - The video quality of this product is much better than the other top competitor (Name rhymes with "Bing"). A relative has their doorbell and they were shocked at how much better the quality of the Arlo is. - The responsiveness is excellent and the operation flawless. - The image recognition is awesome. For example, it will put in the alert whether it is an animal or person, and this recognition is spot-on. That competitor's product doesn't do that. Now for the negative and I hope Arlo is reading this: I couldn't get the app to "find" the doorbell. I looked closer at the directions. You will need either a router that works at 2.4 ghz or an Arlo base station. Even if you have a base station, you need the 2.4 ghz router temporarily to update the doorbell's firmware to work with the Arlo base station (which I have and did). I can't switch my Spectrum modem manually to 2.4 ghz and even walking down the street to where it would switch to that didn't work so I dug out a 2.4 ghz router I had in my closet and temporarily hooked it up. Jeez. So here is a suggestion to Arlo: Spend the 3 bucks to make this product work with a 5 ghz modem to save others the frustration because 90+% of the public doesn't have the know-how, patience or a 2.4 ghz modem lying around to do the firmware update. I would do it again because the quality of the competitor is show stopper for me but this shortfall is surprising considering the product is absolutely perfect in every other way.

Excellent addition to existing Arlo system!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to get this after my other Arlo cams missed a delivery of a package, which I believe got stolen. Install was very easy and took a few minutes. So far I've been pleased by the design and functionality of this doorbell, which I installed on an old house with no wired doorbell. I've only had it installed for a couple weeks and haven't seen any problem with it being battery powered. Video quality is pretty darn good and covers my entire front porch. I now adjusted the position of my other Arlo camera to see when anyone walks towards my house, and then this captures anyone walking up onto my porch.

Great clarity
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only had the doorbell for a week but I already feel far less anxious knowing that I have this. The video quality is impressive and it loads quickly once you're alerted about motion.

Nice Doorbell
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clear video, just wish the notification received when someone actually rings the doorbell would be an option besides your cell phone ringing like an incoming call. Install a little difficult to figure out compared to Ring, and I’m a pretty tech savvy person. I think Ring’s activity range of movement pick up is better as far as distance from camera.

Very happy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.MUCH better than ring. Does not freeze, clear picture, and easy to install. Had a Ring for 3 years and had issues. Bought a new one, it would freeze and difficulty talking to people. Bought the Arlo and put them side by side to evaluate and Arlo won hands down. We did this at 2 different homes at same time with same results. Only gave a 4 due to lag in connection time. I feel they should all connect in under 5 seconds.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super awesome product, the only part that was a little hinky was during the setup. You are asked to do the QR code scan to register and it took awhile to catch. Other than that, solid item and use.
