    The price was good, the doorbell works well but there is a noticeable delay to notify me from when someone walks up to the door

    This camera displays a high quality image and never randomly disconnects from the app like others I’ve purchased, but the best feature is the long lasting battery life. I only need to charge it once every few months. Perfect.

    I like the arlo products, and this is a very easy to install, wireless video doorbell. Storing images requires a subscription (more $$). If you don't need that, it does allow review of last image and the audio works fine.

    this is an amazing video doorbell. i went with the arlo over ring because it was more user configurable and works amazing! the battery life is awesome too - i have it installed on a side wall with the angle adapter so it sees a good amount but doesn't trigger on the road or cars so i think the battery lasts much longer. it works with amazon alexa too- but you still have ask alexa to show the arlo doorbell even though it will notify you. i couldn't get it to automatically show the doorbell video on a button press. but, no big deal since it can call your phone for immediate video and talk capability. overall amazing doorbell and the video service is fantastic.

    Excellent video quality and works great. Only issue is that when I connected to my mechanical doorbell it won’t stop ringing. I had to buy the Arlo Chime to have a doorbell that rings in the house.

    I am coming from a doorbell(switch from google to HomeKit) I’m kind of disappointed with this camera to be honest. The picture quality is pretty good. However, the viewing space is not the best there’s a lag with notifications. One Perk over google is it let you talk as if if was a call.  Also, you need a smart hub for this to be compatible with HomeKit.

    Good camera system that is easy to install and use. The app works very well. There is a fee for video storage and the batteries dont last quite as long as advertised, but they are easy to remove and recharge.
