    The installation instructions (via mobile app) were easy to follow and worked the first time. No hassle. I appreciate the quality of the camera and the reliability of event detection.

    Purchased to replace a ring doorbell and so all my cameras were on the same system. Easy to install and setup. Battery lasts almost a month before charging

    I liked the wide viewing angle, but it's really slow to load up. By the time it loads, the thing that triggered it is sometimes gone (yes I have high speed Internet lol). There were also little blips that would be missing in the recording. I returned it and went back to ring. Less viewing angle, but loads faster.

    Easy to install and connect to the app. The app is easy to navigate. The video and picture quality is good. My only disappoint with this video doorbell is I wish it would have the ability to show a few seconds before the video or photo was actually triggered. Also wish I would have just went with the wired model because the distance that triggers the photo and video is greater.

    I had a doorbell that I could answer from my phone before this one. I LOVE this doorbell. Has just what I need. It allows me to answer from my phone if I am not home and record movement if I want it to. With a pool in my backyard, I can answer and address whatever I need to. To be fair, I never had a ring, and my last doorbell did not record or have such a wide view. I had this one professionally installed and the installer said he much preferred this version to the RING. So glad I got it, highly recommend, worth every penny!

    The wire-free doorbell was a breeze to install. Once it was mounted and configured in the Arlo app, it’s been reliable and performed as we had hoped. Quick notifications/alerts and no false positives after we defined our zones in the app. Highly recommended.

    This was a gift for dad who needed a wireless video doorbell that works with his Arlo camera system. My Arlo video doorbell is wired and my dad really wanted one and Arlo just came out with this wireless solution. Installation was simple and he loves it!

    Serves Its Purpose

    The product serves its purpose well as a security video doorbell. Just understand as of this review, it cannot be added to a SmartHub. I purchased this because I have a 3-camera Arlo Pro 3 with SmartHub and adding it to the SmartHub is not an option, which is fairly disappointing for using with Apple HomeKit and simplicity. Another important item to consider is that it only connects to a 2.4ghz wifi connection, it can’t connect to a 5ghz. Perhaps this will be rectified with a firmware update if the hardware allows for it. Integration is a make-or-break feature for many consumers. Hopefully Arlo is able to adapt.
