    The camera works but there is a significant delay between the time a person presses the button and when you can speak to them. Most people will leave before ir assume you are not home and try to break in.

      Hello Whereswaldo,
      Thank you for taking the time to share your review. A small delay in the live stream is expected. If you feel the delay is longer than it should be, it may take more in-depth troubleshooting to find the cause. I encourage you to navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for service options available to you.
      Regards,
      Arlo Team arlo_us

    I love everything about the Arlo door bell except how long the battery stays charged. I thought it said about 3 months. It lasted about 3 weeks. It is easy to charge and put back. It’s just one more thing to add to a busy schedule.

    Love the camera and its easy to set up. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that some times when someone rings it and you answer on your phone the video is partially cut off and only shows the top portion of the video

    I bought this to replace a Ring device. This has better field of view and with the subscription it can tell the difference between people, vehicles, pets and packages, and notify accordingly. It also comes with an angle plate, so it is perfect to install to the side of the door. Also, it works with my google devices as an indoor chime and my video home device.
