Better than Ring!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a wonderful device that allows me to see who is at the door without opening it. It also helps me keep track of who is at the door when I am gone.

Won’t work after 4 months
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After almost 4 months of use, the camera will not hold a charge. I’m sure it is a faulty camera but it is no longer returnable. Very disappointing and a waste of money. I everything about this camera except that it won’t charge.

Stay away from
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After less then 2 years it works better then it's camera family. The only issues I have is. 1. the is a considerable delay between the time the button is pushed and I am contacted on my cell phone & I am in the house. 2. There is no "live" person to contact, only "Communities". Customer service is a joke at best.

Posted .Hi Brandon Tufts,
Thanks for your review. If you're not receiving your phone call notifications properly, try to move your cameras closer to the Base Station/SmartHub/router or move your Base Station/SmartHub away from the router. A slight delay is normal behavior because the video is being analyzed by the Arlo Cloud service.For further help, navigate to Settings > Support in the Arlo App for service options available to you.

Pretty cool
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty good addition to home security--even if you don't have an alarm system. THE GOOD ~ Pretty good fisheye camera ~ Wide field of view ~ Programmable messages ~ motion detection alerts ~ Can link multiple doorbells THE BAD ~ kind of big ~ Not sure about battery life (See below) THE MEH! (Could go either way) ~ Requires subscription ~ Kind of big ~ Instructions OVERALL Overall, I would give this 4.5 stars, but since there is no half-star, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and the extra half. I honestly don't know what I was expecting, but I was surprised by the size of the doorbell. I think I was expecting something a little less clunky. Despite that, where it is mounted on my wall, it works just fine. I'm not sure how long the rechargeable battery lasts. When I got this, it was Christmas time. I charged the battery, but couldn't hang to doorbell due to decorations. A couple weeks later, I went to mount it and the batter was dead. I hope it will last much longer than a couple weeks at a time. My expectations (realistic or not) are it should last months...we'll see. Set up was relatively easy. However, there was a skipped step or something in the instructions on the App. After it says to install the battery, it instructs you to pair with your phone. After a few minutes of waiting, the pairing failed. When I tried again, I put the back onto the device and it paired very quickly. I like that I get alerts for activity at and near my door. The camera takes and saves small videos I can check to see who is there or what is going on. This is great if you are expecting a package or know one has been delivered, because anyone who tries to steal it will be caught on video. I didn't expect it to require a subscription. I may have missed that part. it's only a few bucks a month. Honestly, I think it is worth that. Even if you add multiple cameras, it is less than one cup of Starbucks a month. :) Places this would be perfect: ~ If you have had packages/mail stolen ~ Stuff stolen from back patio ~ You live in a highly populated area where things may be stolen ~ High crime areas where someone may break in ~ Kids coming home from school All of these will be covered by the camera. Put one up front and one out back and you can leave your house feeling secure. If you're out of town and someone breaks in, you'll know. If you're like many parents and have young kids coming home from school alone, this is great. You'll get an alert and video confirmation when they get safely home.

Peace of mind
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This offers such peace of mind — especially when we’re traveling. My husband also likes to scare me with it when he’s at work and I go out to check the mail — and I hear a voice behind me. :)

Arlo doorbell and camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely poor performance. If you trey to talk to a visitor there is a ten to fifteen second delay for your conversation. The advisor from Best Buy should have been aware and warned us to make another purchase . Not happy with Best Buy or or Arlo!

Perfect for your peace of mind
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After researching many brands, I decided to go with the wireless Arlo. So glad I did, as it performs quite well & gives us that piece of mind we were so desperately looking for.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Slow to connect to live feed, even on a high tech wifi… the app is intuitive Buy does not make up for how slow it is to launch into live feed… I got shot, in the stomach, at my front door due to losing patience waiting for the live feed to populate…

Short battery/off line
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery constantly goes dead and hard to check due to dropping off line. With one to two rings a day the wireless door bell will last a week. This has gone one for since I bought it. Best Buy’s warranty is so short I didn’t get there in time.

Good doorbell but could be better
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t like the fact that you need a subscription to fully take advantage of this doorbell. Great integration with Apple home.

Not worth
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth. After you buy they start to send you subscriptions notifications and then, one day, just don’t work anymore , so, you paid more then a 100 for something that work for 60 days only , ridiculous
