    Arlo wireless doorbell works great!

    Works great! I did not take into account the setback of the door on the porch, so have a little bit of a “tunnel view” coming up to the door. The setback limits the view of the porch area. I could correct that with a separate camera on the porch, but the doorbell camera still captures the walkway up the driveway to the door clearly.

    Easy to install and the video and sound is clear. App is very user friendly. The only reason I rated it a 4 is that the battery life seems short. It has lasted for one month. I was advised to get two batteries in order to swap them out but I did not want to invest in another battery.

    Poor quality. I use multiple cameras at different locations and this one was as flaky as can be. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would not. Support is abysmal. They kept running me around in circles and delaying me, hanging up, disconnecting. Cutting and pasting stock questions in emails asking the same questions over and over again, until finally they delayed me until it was out of warranty and they finally just said tuff....your out of luck.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
