    My doorbell setup was easy. I would recommend this over other similar doorbells. Everything works well with my older model cams and base station. It was just like adding a new camera. The camera has a great picture so makes me want to upgrade my other cams at some point. My only suggestion would be rubberized washers for the screws inside the mount where they make contact with plastic, but I’m not an engineer.

    I have Arlo Camera so I naturally just wanted to add to the Arlo Eco-system. I thought that was a great idea but then i noticed that the system is slow. sometimes it doesnt connect to the app or even my Amazon Show device, which i specifically bought just so it could show me who is at the door when it rings. If economically i had a choice to switch my system to a Google or Ring, I would.
