    Compared to my Nest doorbell this thing is a dinosaur. It’s really big and chunky and plastic looking. Otherwise it works great but I’m gonna send it back just because of the aesthetics. Not sure why Nest can’t make a wireless battery doorbell.

    Recently, I purchased the Arlo Wire-Free Doorbell Camera, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. This innovative device offers top-notch performance make it a standout choice on the market.The camera is exceptional. The high-definition camera captures clear and crisp footage, making it easier to identify any visitors or activity outside my door. Setting up the doorbell camera was a breeze. The installation process was straightforward after viewing the detailed instructions provided.The wide range of options, such as setting motion detection zones and adjusting the sensitivity levels, is appreciative when adjusting the settings to my schedule. With this camera, I feel more in control and aware of what's happening outside my door.
