    I purchased the Wire-Free Doorbell from Arlo after moving into a new subdivision, one of the best purchases I have made since moving in. I now know when I go out I will be able to see if any packages are on my doorstep or if anyone is trying to look at what's on my porch. The easy setup and the different levels of tracking you can set up on the camera are great!

    Battery life and Features less than desired

    Long awaited the Arlo Wire-free Video Doorbell to go with my Arlo Security Camera System only to be very disappointed. The Battery Life only lasts for about one week. Detecting motion a Front Door is sporadic. My Arlo camera picked up several deliveries and the Arlo Essential Wire-Free Camera recorded nothing. When the camera did work the response time was slow. By the time the Doorbell calls you and you connect your phone to the camera several seconds have gone by and the person is already walking away. I am very disappointed with this video doorbell. Adding another Arlo Pro 2 camera to my system works better, faster, and more accurate.

    Easy to setup and connect to my existing Arlo environment. The delay is still about 2-3 seconds but better than before due to this device connecting directly to wi-fi and not the arlo hub. Would recommend this as a replacement to the older wireless doorbell (that took AAs).

    I purchased an arlo Wire-free doorbell as we were already invested in the arlo ecosystem. I like the design over some of the competition. My only complaint about the door bell is that its larger than it looks in most of the pictures (installed).

    Read a bunch of reviews online and everything seemed to point back to arlo. Decided to give it a shot and geez, it was worth it. I just purchased my home and was worried about intruders because of a previous breakin at my last home and this doorbell is perfect. Would recommend to anyone worried about what to get. Super easy install as well, no headaches.

    Honestly, I don’t know how I went so long without adding this to our security system! The doorbell is amazing, there’s a little lag in video, but I’m going to update our mesh system soon, so the lag will be fixed. This is amazing and we love it! Thank you Arlo for making such a wonderful product!

    Best video doorbell on market

    It's sleek, the button has a positive feel, and the camera is amazing! Wide lens allows the homeowner to get a large view of the patio and front of the home. The doorbell works quick and the video is extremely sharp. So happy we made the switch from Google Nest.

    We've never had a video doorbell before and didn't know what to expect. This was easy to charge, set up and use! The app is user friendly, and being able to hear and see who is at the door is a great feature. I highly recommend this product and can't wait to add the outdoor camera to my account as well.

    I love the Arlo doorbell I can see when someone is coming to my door, I’ve had issues in the past and now with Arlo it puts my mind at ease kind of like I’m not alone in a way. It’s amazing and I can’t wait to buy the rest of the Arlo collection. Thank you so much for this amazing product.
