    Great doorbell camera. The camera view is very wide and broad. It works with alexa. Nigh vision look really good. You will not miss anything no matter how close someone get to it.

    Love the new doorbell. It was easy to setup, is good quality and the picture is terrific. I also like the two way talk feature. The Arlo Smart system of notifying me via alert if it is a person, package or vehicle is also helpful.

    Very easy to set up. The real plus to this little guy is the ability to use it wirelessly or wired. Our doorbell wiring isn’t working at the moment so I set it up wirelessly for now, but will switch it over to wired once we get the wiring sorted.

    Prefer this over the wired, if you don't already have a doorbell wire that you can connect. But wired and had to change it to wireless. Purchased because of its reviews on YouTube.

    I am coming from a doorbell(switch from google to HomeKit) I’m kind of disappointed with this camera to be honest. The picture quality is pretty good. However, the viewing space is not the best there’s a lag with notifications. One Perk over google is it let you talk as if if was a call.  Also, you need a smart hub for this to be compatible with HomeKit.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with the Arlo Wire-Free Doorbell. Compatability with Apple Homekit does currenly require an Arlo Smart Hub.

      If your notifications are delayed, please read following article for details on troubleshooting long delays: https://https://kb.arlo.com/it/000062742.

      For additional assistance, please navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for service options available to you.

    We absolutely love our doorbell especially with the chime that we bought to go with it! It makes everything easier for us and we can actually see who is in front of our house and talk to them if we have to!
