Customer Ratings & Reviews

This wireless doorbell is awesome! Its very easy to install and the quality of the camera is great! Great product for the price.

I purchased the door ball camera about 6 months ago and I didn't charged yes the camera it's very good the quality of the picture is nice.

Excellent product easy to use and very easy to install. The app is very easy and user friendly.

Bottom Line: The Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wire-free is a solid product that delivers all of its features. Pros: easy installation; good video quality; solid motion / object detection and alert system; included three month subscription to Arlo Smart. Cons: 3 month Arlo Smart trial began immediately for me upon setup; can’t seem to disable recording on audio. Review: Setup was straightforward and simple: charge the removable battery, download the app, create an Arlo account, and connect the doorbell (the camera on the doorbell scans a code on your phone). The app then guides you through proper placement of the doorbell outside. Since I wasn’t connecting a wired door chime, this was was as easy as installing the mounting plate with two screws. The lens produces good picture/video quality (both day and night vision), although the wide angle means you will get some fish-eye distortion on the sides of the image. Motion detection works well, and you can customize the activity zones on the app to filter out unwanted areas of view. The camera can also detect objects, and my dog is identified as a pet when he comes into view of the camera (versus when a person is at the door). Clips are easy to review with the included 3 month trial of Arlo Smart. I can’t speak to battery life yet (I’ve only had it installed a week), but I suspect I’ll get a month or more out of normal usage. Of course results will vary depending on how often you live stream and/or record. One minor issue was that my 3 month free trial to Arlo Smart seems to have begun as soon as I set up the account and connected the doorbell to the app. I would have preferred to have been able to activate the trial subscription and other features manually. The biggest issue I have with the Arlo Wireless doorbell is that it seems to record when it detects motion OR audio, and there does not seem to be a way to disable audio detection. This is somewhat problematic for me, given that I live in a townhouse with a shared porch with neighbors who are fairly noisy and in and out of the front door regularly. I have my motion zones set only to my side of the porch, but recording still seems to trigger on audio. My current workaround is to disable alerts when I’m home, although I would rather have it armed all of the time.

Good picture, battery life ok. Nice that it can be added to existing arlo account.

Door bell camera works great. A little fiddley to set up but great once installed Clear videos

I love the product and will be getting one for back door

I have installed the regular wired doorbells before. Wire free certainly is easier without sacrificing video quality or responsiveness.

Simple, easy to install and use. Looks good and weatherproof.

Big improvement over the Ring doorbell. Better picture and response.

We have Arlo cameras which work well which made sense to us to purchase a doorbell when we decided to switch from ring. The doorbell is a different story. Before having it for 3-4 months it stopped syncing with our internet and we had to work with customer service for weeks via email before having to demand a replacement. It took the replacement a long time and several times to connect to our internet and account. It also takes a long time for it to go “live” in the app. I wish we had used the BestBuy protection we purchased instead of working with Arlo support but we forgot it was covered. Arlo also made us pay for shipping of our replacement and sent a different color. I expected more of the product and company.

Best Doorbell Camera! It is totally powered by a Battery, no wires, no hassle. Day or Night, video quality!
