    decent camera quality, but the size of the camera is big and doorbell along with the video will cut out at certain times and not pick up all motion even if someone is at the door, Would not recommend.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I don't even know where to begin with how useless this garbage product is. I gave Arlo a chance because I had previously owned one of their indoor cams for open houses when I was selling my townhouse. That worked really well and was consistent. This battery/wired doorbell worked for about 1 day, and then the cycle of problems began. Motion detection is all over the place. Sometimes it picks up the delivery person early enough, but sometimes not until they're walking away. Can you see the potential problem with that? Incoming calls upon ringing the bell worked a total of maybe 5 times in the past year, all near the beginning of ownership. Arlo blamed all of this on my ISP, so to humor them I even upgraded my internet plan which also doubled my upload speeds, the main scapegoat they used. But guess what, none of that improved anything! The app is garbage, their support is obviously garbage, and I would never buy another Arlo product again. I would have returned it had I known the problems would become permanent, but Arlo support strung me along in the beginning because they would get things working again, and then 2 days later the problems would return. This broken promise of a product went through that cycle until I was passed the return window, which is what I get for putting my trust in this lackluster company. Buyer beware, the positive reviews either lucked out with their setups, or didn't come back to change their reviews after diminishing returns.

    This Arlo doorbell is great, having the wired version is a plus when power goes out. Would suggest looking at where you will be putting the doorbell, I did have to buy a third party part to fit on my siding, it helped alot. The features are grear, works out the box, and getting an Arlo base station makes it completely AppleKit friendly!

    Arlo Doorbell is pretty good, i like the video feeding and it can call your phone if someone press the button. But sometimes when you answer the call it take a while before it show you the feeds or sometimes not at all. All and all I like it.
