    Cute camera. It's great when it works. Motion sensitivity is set at 100% yet it still seems to sleep thru a lot of activity. If someone rings the doorbell it does ring my phone, so that aspect works fine. But if someone drops a package at the door or just walks up on my property for whatever reason without ringing the bell, it's a toss up as to whether the Arlo alerts us.

    Good smart doorbell when you don't have the wiring

    Get his if you cannot use a wired connection to your original doorbell. Sometimes older houses don't have the necessary power to use the wired smart doorbells. This is a good alternative.

    I purchased it because it’s black and looks sleeker than my old Ring doorbell. Works great and easy to set up. I also have the Arlo cameras which work great as well.

    This thing has settings for people who already know a little about NVRs, but is also super simple. Other than needing to be connected to a 2.4ghz network for setup (this may pose a problem for some people depending on how your network is configured), setup was a breeze. Making an account was easy and non-intrusive, and it comes with a three month trial of their premium Arlo service. It’s a great product, high quality, worth the money. When you’re ready to upgrade they have high quality outdoor cameras you can mount that will sync with the app also!

    I have Arlo Pro 3 cameras located around my house attached to solar panels. All work rather well. We added this wire-free doorbell because it made sense and since the renovation, we do not have any wired chimes. The only snafu was having to reconnect it on day two after I switched the chime noise. It works best on the basic chime - responsive and rings my cell. Otherwise, it delays the chime and sometimes disconnects. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

    It was so easy to setup! It’s quick and responsive. We have a dog who used to let us know when we had somebody at the door but our new Arlo door bell even beats him to the punch!
