    This is my second Arlo product - the first being an Arlo Q Plus and it mirrors a lot of the same great things I like about my indoor camera: great video quality, a free cloud storage option and geofencing so you’re not recording motion events of yourself. Where Arlo butchered the experience is with the Arlo Secure app. For some dumb reason, that I’m sure they’d say is due to security, if you don’t explicitly go into the Arlo app for 1-2 weeks, it will log you out of the app. When this happens, your devices basically brick. They won’t record anything. Fast forward to this morning, my neighbor left a note on my door asking me to review footage from September 1 for a package theft. I hadn’t been in the Arlo app since I set the doorbell up in the beginning of August. So after going into the app and choosing the option to log back in, I come to find out I don’t have any video events from after mid-August. And mind you, this is in a cramped apartment hallway that easily captures 20-30 motion events daily. This is incredibly stupid on Arlo’s part to not offer an option to stay signed in because people don’t buy security systems with the thought process of staying glued to them and actively monitoring them like a security guard. They buy them with the thought process that IF an event were to happen then I can easily go back in and find the footage for evidence. In this case, Arlo failed miserably. And I don’t know why you would make a security product and then cripple it thru the app like this. If you search Arlo logging me out you’ll get thousands of results and even thru Arlo’s support pages they blame it on a cloud error (as of Feb-2022) and claim a fix is in the works. What’s really disappointing is everyone is trying to subscription us to death but the free stuff isn’t even working the way it should but we should jump in and invest in paying monthly though? Even though you drag your feet to fix issues. SMH not this guy.

    Since i got my wire free doorbell, i fell much more comfortable about the safety of my family. The video quality is great, the app is easy to see video history, and the install was so easy! I really love my video doorbell! I compared specs with other doorbells and this was the best video quality, comparable price, and had the cloud storage.

    Found lots of videos how to install the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell. Not any how to set it up especially with amazon echo. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't so difficult to find instructions how to set it up.

    Very easy to setup takes maybe 5-7 minutes. Very good picture quality and I can now see my packages as I had ring before. I’m so glad we made the switch because the videos are so much clearer and you can see a lot more!!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could!!!! Will be purchasing more outdoor cameras to go along with my wireless doorbell!!!

    We did alot of research and settled on the Arlo and have not been disappointed. Really like being able to see whoever comes to our door in full view from the top of their head down to their shoes. And being able to answer even wgen we're not home is great. Would recommend highly.
