    Recently moved and my neighbor told me that packages has gone missing. I got it and luckily no packages has gone missing. It alerts me who is passing by and the delivery person comes by to drop off my packages.

    Amazing doorbell camera. We subscribed to the Arlo service for recording videos if needed. Audio is clear. Picture day or night is great and the app is easy to navigate.

    I love this doorbell as it goes with our security system. Wish it was a little more faster/no behind in real time view but overall, keeps me aware of anyone outside my door

    I didn’t really like the way this camera works. There is always a delay in the video when watching live and answering doorbells. I have gaming wifi, so it wasn’t my wifi. I have also bought the bundle as gift to my grandmother and the same thing happens with hers, lag in the video. Also, take into consideration from where you want the “180°” view to start since this is a bulky camera.

    Product is great! I just wish I would have been told correctly that there is a prescription required. I was told by sales associate that there wasn’t. But product itself is great!

    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.

    Really Good Doorbell!

    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 my Arlo video Doorbell. It was easy to install and has a great quality video. I like that it actually comes through as a phone call on my cell phone when someone rings the doorbell.

    Doorbell works flawlessly. Great image and good quality sound. Wish they would include a vanity plate to extend the doorbell out further so I can see around the edge of my brick.
