    Easy to install, so much better than the old single camera we used to have pointing at our front door. And the two way audio is great.

    Great Addition

    This Arlo doorbell is a great addition to our smarthome and Arlo setup. We already have the wired version of this doorbell, so we placed this one at a different entrance, on the side of our house. What's great about this doorbell is that there are 2 installation options... wireless or wired. Either way, the setup is very seamless. It was easy to connect to our WiFi and our mobile devices. We already have an Arlo ecosystem, so adding this to our app was easy. The video stream and audio is very clear. We also were able to integrate the Arlo with our Google Home system. What's awesome about this is that, when someone rings the doorbell, all our Google Home devices announce the call. The notification also rings your smartphone as if it's a phone call. Overall, I'm very happy with the Arlo video doorbell... both versions of it.

    Great security addition

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Easy to order, and arrived as scheduled. Easy to add to the camera we had for our garage. Video & audio are clear. Only con is Arlo's no-drill mount uses adhesive tape, which, in my opinion, is not really secure and since I live in a northern state, I'm not sure the tape would work year-round. Found a reasonably priced no-drill, no-tape mount on-line, though, so all is good. I just wish Arlo would come out with one that is made specifically for their wireless doorbell. I would definitely (and already have) recommend this doorbell.

    Simple, works well as intended!

    Bought this wire-free doorbell after having issues with competitor brands, setup was straight-forward and the whole process only took about 10 minutes from start to finish. So far so good, the alerts are accurate and the settings for this doorbell are numerous in the Arlo app. There is a noticeable delay for feeds, but it's nothing major at all. Definitely recommend for basic but reliable camera/alerts.

    Good quality picture

    I chose Arlo because I already have Arlo cameras. It added to my existing account easily and effortlessly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I felt they should have a screw less mounting option for those of us who have no good options. My front columns are brick and I don't want to drill holes in my screen door. So I ordered two sided mounting foam and am going to try that.

    Arlo Wireless doorbells

    I have 2 wireless doorbells installed along with the Chime 2. The video quality is outstanding and the notifications are timely and accurate. We feel 100% more secure with package delivery. I find it really gives me piece of mind when I am traveling for work. It's very easy for all members of my household to access and use. We will be adding additional outdoor cameras to our set up over the next few weeks. A very good quality product.

    Good value

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this on sale of course, but I do think it packs a lot of features. The video and audio quality is surprisingly good. The app is good but takes a bit of fumbling around to get used to, especially when an alert goes off and you want to trigger the live feed. I will likely buy some of the Arlo cameras given how well this one works.

    I have the wired Arlo on my front door, because its, well wired. I didn't have one for the back door because as much as I tried, I couldn't fix the back doorbell. But then Arlo comes out with this wired/wireless...yippee! I love the video quality, and sound. I have the Arlo hub but did not go thru it because its not a user friendly experience, trying to set up all the cameras at once. It comes with everything you need in the box to get it up and going, it took me about 20 minutes to put in the batteries, drill the holes and attach th backplate.

    Provides added security and ability to communicate

    Certainly enjoy this little doorbell, my new home didn’t have a doorbell, so I went with the wireless model. Very easy to screw into the paneling, very easy to connect to the wifi, very easy to sync with the doorbell Arlo device. This adds security to the front of my home, where I did not have security cameras in place here.
