Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Arlo Video Doorbell Wire-Free currently sells for $199.99 msrp. This is definitely a major step up from the old traditional doorbell. The video playback is pretty clear. You can view the video via wifi, but there is about a 2 second delay. Even though it is battery powered, you can hard wire install it using your old doorbell wiring and chime. But if you choose to decide to battery power it, you can not use your old mechanical doorbell chime. There are many different detection options you can use as well as combine. The doorbell includes a 3-month trial of Arlo Smart service, with rolling 30 day cloud recordings. One thing to note. The wire-free version of the video doorbell is bigger than the wired one. The mounting bracket is NOT the same. So you will have to make a 3rd party mount is made for the wire-free one.

Initially, I was excited about arlo camera as it allowed better coverage than the ring camera. However with in a week, the camera’s focus, was skippy at best,clear one minute won’t load up the next

I bought two of these, one for my apartment and one for my mom's. She loves the way it detects people, pets, vehicles and package deliveries. Helps really well to monitor for any movement when you're not home and even if you are. I would recommend to anyone who needs a security-monitor camera extension to your home security

First, a disclaimer. My home internet speed is 60 Mbps down, but only 5 Mbps up. I don't know if some of these issues are related to my upload speed, but I can only report my experiences. Also, this is my first experience with an Internet-based home security product, so I can't compare this to other solutions. First, installation was an absolute breeze, and much easier that I expected. My old mechanical doorbell ran off of 18V, so installation was two screws and two wires. Anybody who can run a drill and screwdriver can pull this off. The app guides you through the setup. Keep in mind that this doorbell only offers a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection. As a security camera, this is mostly a solid product. You can go back and review uploaded videos (the honor of which will cost you $2.99 per month). You can set zone triggers, or just let the system automatically determine what is going on, so the recordings show a reason, such as "person" or "vehicle." Nice touch. You can allow the app (Android, in my case, on a new Google Pixel 4a 5G) to alert whenever it notices motion (annoying, as I live on a road with a bit of traffic). This is great for determining what has happened on your property. The app works great for this (except for a brief period this morning, when it insisted that it could not connect to the Internet, even though my phone could connect to web pages and show YouTube videos). It also lets you have a "live view" of what is happening, although "live" is defined as "five seconds ago" as that is how much latency there is. Once you select the live view, it takes around eight seconds before you start receiving any video or audio (except for that one time where I waited around twenty seconds, and still got nothing). As a doorbell, it fails miserably. The concept is supposed to be that you get a live view of who is out your door, and you can talk to them through the built-in microphone and speaker. The real problem is that the video feed that you get back is close to useless (see the attached screen shots). Second is the latency. It takes a few seconds between the doorbell going off and your phone alerting you. Then, once you initiate the connection, there is around three to four second latency between the visitor saying something and it showing up on the speaker of your phone, Combine this with the second of latency between your phone's microphone and the Arlo's speaker, and you find that a conversation is difficult. Still, at least the audio does work (unlike the video). Another major problem with the app occurs if you use it to answer the door and have a conversation with your visitor. If you then just close the app entirely (choose app selection window, swipe the app away), then the app closes, but you still have the audio going. I just reset my phone as the "quick and easy" way to turn off the audio. I guess that I could have tried going into the app again and seeing if that would kill the feed, but it seemed like too much trouble. For the app to behave like this is annoying and inexcusable. Still, the firmware on this unit can be upgraded, as can the app, and the hardware is solid. So there is still a chance for Arlo to update things to make it run smoothly, But the way things are right now (January 2021), you should consider other options.

Video quality on wire-free device is as clear as any camera I have used. I love how the button light pulsates when a person is detected so they know where to push. Night vision clear. I feel more secure with these Arlo cameras.

The location I rent does not have an existing doorbell. This wireless Arlo Video Doorbell was perfect! Easy to install plus it has great sound and picture quality. Great for catching late night pranksters!

Love it. The picture quality is clear even at night. It was easy to install with my doorbell. And it works and connects with all my other Arlo security cameras.

I've had a ring doorbell before and, in my opinion, the Arlo wins. Video quality is amazing and the night vision is great. I really don't have any complaints.

Works great so far. I love that it identifies the motion it detects (vehicle, person, animal) and t)3 video quality is great. App is easy to navigate as well.

I was so impressed by my previously installed Arlo cameras that I decided to add another layer of security by installing the doorbell Arlo camera on my exterior side entrance/ driveway door . This gives me another view of who’s coming and going on my property

A little laggy but I think that is common for all doorbell cameras, so far good picture and sound. Better than my old Ring doorbell. Easy to remove to charge. Works well with monitoring all cameras together. Satisfied .

Very, easy to assemble and install without any difficulty! Works like a charm Even at night!

Works way better then any ring products! Replaced all my ring cameras with arlo and glad it still connects to my base station. This doorbell doesn’t give me pointless alerts, and I’m about 15ft or so from the street and no matter how much I adjusted my ring doorbell. It keep triggering traffic and trash blowing by, but people who stole my water hose or knocks on my door, NO ALERTS!!! So Arlo all the way and my other favorite is also what Best buy sells is Amazon Blink! Both are really great depending on your budget. Sister has Arlo and I have blink and three the rings cameras in trash. I like how Arlo automatically configured itself when I set it up and I didn’t need to choose a range or block anything. Easy to set up and battery does last over a month before next charging. Includes rapid charger and everything you need to install it. I’f your replacing your ring like I did, Arlo is slim and narrow so I believe Best Buy sells a plate to cover the old doorbell and attach The arlo to it, or order it somewhere online. But I actually installed my Arlo on a different wall and neatly and use stucco patch to cover the old ring mess… don’t listen to other bad reviews on here. whether you have a base station or not, the Cost for home security shouldn’t be a “con” or “deal breaker.” What’s the cost of your life of having home security if you pay more in “fast food” places each month versus a “HOME SECURITY PLAN/PAYMENT”????

Arlo puts out a quality camera system offering ease of installation and a solid video/audio quality. This doorbell camera is a fantastic edition to my system and something I wish I had never waited for it to go on sale to purchase. Consistently capturing motion, rings to my phone if someone hits the doorbell and even identifies animal or human movement and alerts you to this.

its good, not AMAZING. there is a bit of a delay between when someone hits the button and me getting the notice. people leave before I can get the 2-way tom come up on the phone. BUT much better than nothing and does have PC access too thru the Arlo HUB . east to set up too.

East to install I chose to use the wireless install. Took me 15 minutes very easy install very high quality camera. Have it setup to call my cell phone nice when I have deliveries. Picture quality is great lots of nice features.

The Arlo video doorbell was just what we were looking for. We have another camera system in place but the video quality is not great especially at night. This solves that issue at our front door. This was a very easy install as it came with all the hardware that we needed. Simply took it out of the box and let it charge to full which took two or three hours. Once charged you need to figure out if you want a flat mount or slightly angled mount. There is a mount to give it a slight angle if needed. We went with the flat mount due to the wide field of view. Simply screw in the mount and attach the camera and you are up and running. Overall use is simple. In settings you can choose your active areas that will trigger the camera when it senses motion. For us, we choose our property so passing cars would not trigger motion which would trigger alerts all day and is not necessary. It takes 2 to 3 seconds to start live view if you want to take a peek outside but really isn’t necessary as anything you need to see will alert you as it happens. Overall image quality is excellent both and day and night. You will not see to far at night but we can see our property which is all we are concerned with. Overall this is a great video doorbell and we are considering a second for the back door. Battery based on current usage should last a few months with no issues. You won’t go wrong with this choice.

Pros: The Arlo Wireless Doorbell stands out for its long-lasting battery life, typically needing a charge only every 6-8 weeks. This feature is particularly convenient for those who prefer minimal maintenance. Like its security system counterpart, it offers high-quality video and sound, ensuring clear visuals and audio at your doorstep. Cons: Minimal audio delay is to be expected but is annoying nonetheless. Not specified, but users should consider Wi-Fi strength for optimal performance. Overall, this doorbell is an excellent choice for those seeking reliability and quality in a wireless doorbell, with the added benefit of infrequent charging.

This doorbell is really easy to install. It paired very quickly with the Wifi. The picture is really clear with a very wide angle. Even the night picture is clear. The sound is good quality. A good value.

offers a reliable and convenient way to enhance your home security system. Its sleek design and compatibility with the Arlo ecosystem make it a seamless addition to your setup. The HD video quality and two-way audio provide clear communication with visitors, and the motion detection feature helps alert you to any potential activity at your doorstep. The integration with mobile devices and the Arlo app allows for easy monitoring and customization of settings. However, it's worth noting a strong Wi-Fi signal is needed. Overall, the Arlo Doorbell is a solid choice for those seeking to bolster their home security with smart technology.
