    Seems over priced for what you get. Has good picture but need a subscription to save videos.

    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!

    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!

    After comparing different video doorbells, I am happy I went with Arlo. The video works great, daytime and night. The app is great, even with the free version!

    Everything your brochure says is true. Be sure you have a 2.5 gig wireless connection. Easy to install, we use our total tech folks to install.
