Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to set up, but did not always get movement in the zones selected. Returned this product for a Ring.

I have had the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wire-Free for a few weeks now and I wanted to wait to post my review until I could do some climate testing and long term use testing. First thing to note, when you get the doorbell do as it says and charge the battery completely. At first I just plugged in it and let it run which did not last long.. about a week. Once I did a full charge I haven't had to charge it again. After the full charge it has been running for 2 weeks and the battery is currently at 93% and the average temp outside has been around 40 degrees with nights getting as cold as 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit comes with a free 3 month trial of Arlo Smart and the notifications are nearly instant of when an event is detected with motion. Usually I hear my neighbor open the door then 5-10 seconds later my phone goes off. The one thing I will note is that connecting to the unit does take up to 30 seconds but is also about 100 feet from my Access point with walls in the way. Overall this is a great unit and being wire free and secured to ensure no one can rip it off and run with it makes this a no brainer for anyone in the market for a doorbell

I am not satisfy with this camera, you can barely hear the vioce and it doesn't let you respond

Not good at all wasnt able to connect to my wifi took it back n got RING

Great, clear picture. Very easy to charge the battery. Much easier to use than this retired, non-computer savvy person thought it would be. Very happy with purchase.

Will not connect to base and does not connect to 2.4ghrz am buy a ring

Very hard to tether to phone and would not connect to internet

The product works as advertised, has some great features, works well, I was able to mount it on a very unique doorway with an anti-theft device, is compatible with many things that just add to its own value, and I've just scratched the surface on the options and customizations. Very nice field of view and I also got a small dedicated monitor for the front door. Arlo gives an amazing picture and I have it working with Alexa now. Very nice!

Nobody can hear me through the doorbell no matter the device I use. I have good connection but the camera video looks like a locked channel from the 90s on tv. Battery lasts about 5 days then I have to pull and recharge.

Overall Rating 12345 I already have 3 Arlo Pro 3 security cameras around my house perimeter and wanted something for the front door. The new video wireless door bell fit the bill. It was very simple to install and is easy to use. My only complaint is that it does not sync to my existing wireless doorbell. I wouldn't mind buying the Arlo chime but I don't understand why we have to pay extra for shipping to Hawaii. We are part of the US and almost all the companies I deal with do not charge extra for shipping to Hawaii. Wake up Arlo! We are not a third world country. USPS delivers to Hawaii for the same price as anywhere else in the continental US.

Was not satisfied with the camera. Returned it and got the wired one.

Super easy install. Video and audio quality is great. App is easy to use and notifications work great. The day after we installed it we had a potential porch pirate come to our door looking for packages to steal. Fortunately nothing had been delivered that morning so she went off empty handed. 10 miinutes later though 3 packages were deliver. Even caught delivery man tossing one of the packages. Great evidence if anything was broken.

NOT compatible with Echo Show as advertised; Have called support from both Arlo and Echo..you can view the video but can NOT answer the bell or see video once the bell is pressed.

Works great! Easy to set up. Arlo has a video guide that walks you through on how to set up the doorbell. You can set the doorbell by either hardwiring with your existing doorbell wires or use included rechargable battery. Of note, if you use your existing doorbell you need to have transformer installed along with the correct voltage reading at the wiring end for the doorbell to function properly. When its all set up it works as advertised. Haven't had any issues.

Love concept of product but due to company (Arlo) decision to force subscription on cusumers for local or even 7 day cloud recording, doorbell camera becomes extremely limited and really becomes useless if recording option is not available.

I bought the Arlo wireless video doorbell after an item was stolen from my front porch. I have Arlo Pro 2 cameras which work seamlessly with the doorbell to provide the piece of mind that my family was looking for. Setup was easy and the performance is top notch so far, video is very clear with a wide field of view. Highly recommended product for anyone considering a video doorbell.

So far it has worked great, alerts me to movement and calls me when someone is visiting. No wires for those with newer wireless doorbells and battery has lasted a few weeks now.

Arlo has virtually NO customer support. It turned out that it won't work with wi-fi 6. Luckily Best Buy took it back and I replaced it with a Ring which I really like.

Affordable doorbell. It sets up quick with existing Arlo equipment. The only drawback is the need to have a subscription in order to detect and record motion. Subscription unlocks so many other features. That’s how these companies are making money now. Great quality doorbell.

The worst, I am changing / charging the battery every other day if not every day. And sometimes it doesn't record. So disappointing. I exptected more from the doorbell as we have other Arlo cameras that we are happy with.
