    Works well, even at low temperatures. Wide field of vision. Easy to install on arlo app. Hooked it up with an arlo chime so it can also function as a regular doorbell.

    Cute camera. It's great when it works. Motion sensitivity is set at 100% yet it still seems to sleep thru a lot of activity. If someone rings the doorbell it does ring my phone, so that aspect works fine. But if someone drops a package at the door or just walks up on my property for whatever reason without ringing the bell, it's a toss up as to whether the Arlo alerts us.

    This was recommended to us over the Ring Doorbell because of the better video quality. I like the video notifications when packages are being delivered.

    I really want to LOVE this doorbell camera but honestly there is a 7 second delay which gives anyone plenty of time to do anything before even being seen on camera. Other than that I’m happy with my purchase and being able to see who comes around my home and being able to keep an extra eye on my children.

    Had high hopes for this one since investing in the arlo ecosystem there is a lot of lag and delay and if object is moving fast picture gets garbled so not useful at all and the package detects only about 50 percent of the time and yes I have a subscription and strong bandwidth

    Get his if you cannot use a wired connection to your original doorbell. Sometimes older houses don't have the necessary power to use the wired smart doorbells. This is a good alternative.

    I purchased it because it’s black and looks sleeker than my old Ring doorbell. Works great and easy to set up. I also have the Arlo cameras which work great as well.
