    LOVE IT! We originally had the wired version but kept having issues with it. So someone recommended the wireless and THANK YOU! It was so much easier to set up and it works like a charm. The only downside is that we needed to buy a separate doorbell ($49). But that is no big deal and was well worth it. The other downside , if you will, is that Apple HomeKit Secure Video does not work with the wireless version (not yet anyway).

    I have set up and used this product for the last few days, and noticed that there will be a delay when wanting to talk through the microphone. Also time to connect to observe live footage varies depending on the time of day. If I had better connectivity it would be a 5 star product

    I really like the camera but the battery life sucks I would buy again if they improv it I didn’t have the time to keep charging it when I’m away from home and it cut off until I get home to recharge it and the solar panel was not helping at all it’s for someone who’s have the time to keep charging

    The image from the camera is a fisheye, meaning it is distorted. FYI, it only notified one phone so if more than one person lives with you you have to choose who gets notified. I had to purchase a come to go with it so it's really just an expensive doorbell.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I love having the ability to see who is at my door, working having my system wired. The expense of adding wires as out of our budget but Arlo made it happen. It pairs perfectly with our other outdoor cameras.
