    I came from the Ring competitor and had a few bumps at first. Turns out I needed to have the full battery unit even though I have low voltage to the location. I do like that it's smart enough to identify the type of motion- like when it's a Person. All said and done, I do like it better- and best of all, it's not RING.

    It works better than I expected. I’ve used other doorbell cameras before, but this one is great. It can get the entire front area from floor to ceiling so I can see everything that goes on. Detects when packages are left at the door. People can leave a message if you don’t answer the doorbell. Completely wireless. Motion detection. Records all motion and saves it in the app for viewing. I can keep going on and on about how great it is.

    Solid design and looks great. However it has a major video and voice lag of 2-4 seconds. Not a real problem with surveillance/security cameras but with a communications portal it’s a eternity!

    Excellent video doorbell. Very easy to install and the technology behind Arlo systems is top notch. Works great with integration and my video cameras. Did not have any problems setting up. Rings my phone when someone is at the door and there is not a whole lot of lag at all with the clear, concise video. I highly recommend.
