    Good value

    I bought this on sale of course, but I do think it packs a lot of features. The video and audio quality is surprisingly good. The app is good but takes a bit of fumbling around to get used to, especially when an alert goes off and you want to trigger the live feed. I will likely buy some of the Arlo cameras given how well this one works.

    The videos captured are clear and you are able to take still shots, zoom in... etc.... The sensitivity is sketchy. I can get a car driving past my house, but not into my driveway. I can get a car leaving my driveway, but the delay captures the vehicle when it is all ready in the street.

    Certainly enjoy this little doorbell, my new home didn’t have a doorbell, so I went with the wireless model. Very easy to screw into the paneling, very easy to connect to the wifi, very easy to sync with the doorbell Arlo device. This adds security to the front of my home, where I did not have security cameras in place here.

    I have the wired Arlo on my front door, because its, well wired. I didn't have one for the back door because as much as I tried, I couldn't fix the back doorbell. But then Arlo comes out with this wired/wireless...yippee! I love the video quality, and sound. I have the Arlo hub but did not go thru it because its not a user friendly experience, trying to set up all the cameras at once. It comes with everything you need in the box to get it up and going, it took me about 20 minutes to put in the batteries, drill the holes and attach th backplate.

    Another great Arlo camera. We have 15 and the security system with 5 sensors. Cameras have great quality pictures we own essential spotlights Pro 4s and Ulta 2s couldnt ask for better cameras. I have innthe last yr purchased the Essential spotlights and security system for my son and the pro 4 with doorbell and security system for my daughters house. Highly recommended

    Not sure if it's my internet through sparklight or what but a lot of the time when I look at the arlo secure app the video doorbell is offline but as soon as it detects motion it immediately connects and stays online for about an hour

    Great wire-free video door bell!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have other Arlo products that I’ve been very pleased with so I was excited to try the new video wire-free doorbell! I was especially happy no base was needed to use the doorbell due to direct wi-Fi connection! The ease of installation was great and I’m very pleased with features and performance of the video doorbell. Would definitely recommend!

    First Camera Doorbell works as it should

    Our First time using a Camera Doorbell. Setup was easy to follow, though a few steps took time. Took some figuring to get the doorbell to sync up with the Lenovo SmartClock 2 via Google Assistant, but once done, it works well enough for our purposes.

    Improvement over audio doorbell

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Due to the the previous home owner ripping out the original door wiring I had to settle for the audio door bell with a camera until the wire free video door bell became an option. It was easy to setup and install. Works great. The only thing that I didn’t expect was how thick it is. I am slightly worried about moisture entering through the battery compartment since it’s not sealed like the cameras and lights are.

    Works great--plus, it's not Ring

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've been very happy with the wireless doorbell so far. Picks up everything that comes to the door (as far as I've seen--my home office window looks out to the door), and doesn't pick up stuff it shouldn't--e.g., people walking by on the sidewalk. Plus, I have the satisfaction of knowing that a big company isn't getting access to all my videos and data.

    We got this doorbell camera for Christmas. So far we absolutely love it! We travel a lot and this will be very helpful while we are gone. We also live fairly remotely so I’m excited to see if we catch any wildlife on the camera! The video quality is really good and the set-up was easy. We hope to add security cameras at a later date.
