    Arlo Rocks!

    This camera has such a clear picture compared to others that we have used in the past. It's range is also better and has a more immediate recording when compared to our previous camera too. A deer passed across our front yard the other night and I was impressed that the Arlo was able to differentiate between an animal and a human. It was coded "animal" and when its a car passing by it is coded "vehicle". The only downfall is that when clicking to watch the live view, I feel like it takes too long to load which may be connection issues with wifi and no fault of the arlo itself?? We are more than satisfied with our switch to the Arlo! :)

    Originally I had the wired doorbell camera but it never worked so I turned it in and exchanged it for the battery option and it works wonderful great clarity day or night whenever anybody rings the bell I like the fact that I know when UPS FedEx deliver packages

    Camera quality is good and works as intended. Loss of two stars is because the trickle charge never seems to keep the battery actually full charged

    Setup using the Arlo app is very easy, setup is simple and hardware provided is nice, the ability to have it either wireless or powered with a 10V converter is nice. It has good object detection, able to pick up the neighbors cats, and pick out cars in the driveway. Quick response and good options for talkback and answering from phone.

    I purchased my doorbell and I actually haven’t installed or set it up yet but when I do I don’t anticipate any issues. My neighbor has one and it’s working great for her. So I will have to let you know how mine is working for me later. I’m sure it Will work out just fine.

    Addition to our camera and light Arlo system. Get notifications and can customize what motion is to be detected. Easy to install. Draw back is that it doesn't start the recording soon enough.
