    It is a good doorbell but it is not compatible with Apple homekit only the wired one is. Had to buy separate chime to hear when it rings.

    Like this a lot, videos are clear, night vision is really good, AND in color! My two negatives are: 1st - that when you're 'in-and-out' of the door, moving stuff, etc., unlike the cameras, you can't turn it off, and the only way to do that is to remove the battery until you're finished; and 2nd - to get the videos in your library, (again, unlike the cameras) you have to get the monthly subscription - not that much, but still. Otherwise, everything else is all good.

    I love the camera quality, the ease of installation, the app’s ease of use, etc. It is a pretty good camera. However, I don’t like how quickly the batter dies. I’m pretty much charging it every three days. It also is very hard trying to find the options to get it to chime like a normal doorbell. I have a Google nest mini and I thought you could use the speaker to have a traditional chime throughout the house but no. The instructions are very vague. However those are my only two issues and otherwise it is a pretty good camera

    Arlo software (and tech support) terrible

    Great resolution camera. However the app for your phone is awful. Their tech support says a SW update is coming but until then, everything you want to do in the app requires multiple screens and non-intuitive actions. Every video delete is a two-step process - needs to be one-step when you have 30 videos you want to delete.

      Thanks for sharing your review. We have released a new version of the app with performance improvements including being able to delete multiple videos at the same time. Please update to the latest version to see if that resolves your issue. If you still have issues, navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for available service options.

    I think it works just as good as the competitors. It does what it’s supposed to do. Plus I love it that it gives the you the wireless option along with the hardwire option.
