Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to replace a Blink wireless doorbell camera. Installation and setup is a breeze; just like any of the Arlo products so far. Paired with a subscription, I like the preview alerts as well as the ability to view recordings in the app that are stored in Arlo's cloud. Response time is very good; I have no encountered any delays yet. And I appreciate that this can be wired as well.The only thing that concerns me at this time is the battery. it uses a proprietary battery pack. The one advantage of the competitor was it took 2 Li-Ion AA so getting it back online was less expensive and quicker. Depending on how long this battery lasts, I may have to consider purchasing another one to have on standby. All in all, I think it is a better doorbell overall and better value for the money.

The installation is difficult and network app couldn’t see the device

I have had a Ring doorbell for years and just recently moved. I saw where Arlo had just introduced the new Wire-Free doorbell and since I already owned a bunch of Arlo Cameras and lights I decided to try the doorbell. It was easy to install and add to my system and the imagery is larger. I really love my new Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wire-Free!

The latest doorbell is another great addition to the Arlo ecosystem. It integrates seamlessly with my other Arlo cameras and security system. The picture and audio are great. It’s not overly large likes some other doorbell cameras.

Trash!!! Don’t buy it it’s complete garbage I wouldn’t recommend it.

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

Worked for 1 week , Can’t get Geek squad out to fix it, they have rescheduled 3 times.

Better than another doorbell camera I had previously installed. Connects using Alexa and a Fire TV about 90% of the time. Really like the fact that it calls my phone for a video call and is responsive. Have the doorbell paired to 2 chimes and will activate them about 75% of the time. Have to contact customer service about this soon.

Pros: Wire free setup Easy setup Nice size doorbell Wider field of view Rechargeable battery Sensitive but not overly Cons: None This could not have been easier to set up. Like less than 10 mins from opening to up and running. I've been looking into similar doorbells and was happy to test this. The wide view exceeds other brands and with as much online shopping as I've done with the pandemic I'm super happy with that. I feel this is sensitive without being too sensitive. It doesn't pick up random lotion, it's always a legitimate motion when I'm notified. I love the app and feel that makes a huge difference too. I am also happy the battery is rechargeable and claims to last six months at a time, I was worried with wireless that I'd have to buy a ton of button batteries and create waste. I would also say this is a sleek looking device that doesn't look weird or out of place by my door. I highly recommend this and have already helped a family member place an order.

had the ring and it kept malfunctioning and the picture wasn’t clear at night. This bell is so clear it’s worth all I paid

Easy setup. Easy install. Works perfectly. Fantastic field of view. Even paired it with the chime for those instances when phone not close at hand. Area of interest easily adjustable so that it doesn't alert for every passing car. Very solid!!

Garbage can’t reset Arlo techs havnt called back etc

Easy to order, and arrived as scheduled. Easy to add to the camera we had for our garage. Video & audio are clear. Only con is Arlo's no-drill mount uses adhesive tape, which, in my opinion, is not really secure and since I live in a northern state, I'm not sure the tape would work year-round. Found a reasonably priced no-drill, no-tape mount on-line, though, so all is good. I just wish Arlo would come out with one that is made specifically for their wireless doorbell. I would definitely (and already have) recommend this doorbell.

Bought this wire-free doorbell after having issues with competitor brands, setup was straight-forward and the whole process only took about 10 minutes from start to finish. So far so good, the alerts are accurate and the settings for this doorbell are numerous in the Arlo app. There is a noticeable delay for feeds, but it's nothing major at all. Definitely recommend for basic but reliable camera/alerts.

I chose Arlo because I already have Arlo cameras. It added to my existing account easily and effortlessly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I felt they should have a screw less mounting option for those of us who have no good options. My front columns are brick and I don't want to drill holes in my screen door. So I ordered two sided mounting foam and am going to try that.

I love using this device! It's easy to install and it can be battery-operated for a long period.

Easy to install and setup, it only took me 15 minutes, the video and audio quality are great.

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.

Seems to be of good quality, just a little slow with connecting through the app

Works great. Good coverage area. Would recommend. Easy install. Good picture
