    Excellent quality

    In less than 5 minutes I had this added to the app ready for use. The images and video quality are pristine. It’s very convenient to have the call to my phone. Since my husband also has the app if I miss answering the door he can answer it also. The speaker is clear. The viewing angle also captures more than enough.

    If your looking for for quality this is the doorbell you want. Awesome picture awesome sound. Initial hookup took a few times to sync to chimes. Does not hook up via the smart hub. Uses the home WiFi

    Excellent video doorbell!

    Have used the Ring in the past and have to say, I find my Arlo video doorbell superior and overall better! Even though this is wire-free, you can still have the option to install it wired. The installation process (wireless) is super easy! So far am very happy with my new Arlo doorbell!

    Optics are great, night vision is clear and if your porch light puts out enough ambient light then your doorbell will be in color if then night vision kicks in also works well with Alexa in fact she’s my chime and notification that someone is at the front door

    This product is amazing. I’m so glad to finally be able to see when a package arrive while I’m at work or even in my house. We had someone steal one of our Christmas tree decorations and this give me peace of mind to reduce the chances of this happening again. I love this product

    Best doorbell I have ever tried, i tried other brand and non of them have the clear crisp image quality and 180° of field view. Also this doorbell provide a lot of security features. I have a 5ghz network and works great. Awesome product for the price of 175 in a deal.

    The setup and connection to the network and the Arlo app was as easy as it gets! I really enjoy the app and being able to now see what's going on at our door. As well as communicate and greet anyone at the door.

    Great video doorbell

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

    Overall it is a great doorbell. Allows me to monitor activity in the front of my house. Had some problems setting up the device. After speaking with tech support turns out it issue was with my router. My router was setup with smart detect which combines the 2.4g and 5g speeds into one login. This apparently interferes with the signal getting to the doorbell. Turned off smart detect and all started working. This was disappointing to find out, and arlo should work on a firmware update that allows its devices to work with smart detect routers. It also is very disappointing arlo forces you to sign up to a paid cloud storage plan for the doorbell to work.

    Nice self contained doorbell that installs with minimum problems. Once the application is downloaded the bell is operational after the battery is charged - usually takes 2-3 hours

    Arlo doorbell

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

    A bit expensive but easy set up and very good picture. Don’t like that I have to subscribe to keep traffic from alerting me all the time due to in town living by a busy street. Need to have zones allowed without paying $10 a month. Will be looking for a different system as I was told Before upgrading that zones allowed Without subscription From Arlo support! So if you have areas that your camera will be that need a little area cut off not to alert all the time this is not the system unless you subscribe.

    I have used another manufacture's doorbell and the Arlo wired doorbell. I use my wire-free with Arlo Chime 2's. You will not be disappointed with this doorbell. I have several Arlo products and this wire-free compliments my entire system.

    This doorbell is fantastic and easy to install. If you can though, use different screws because the screws that come with this doorbell strip very easily. Other than that, I would 100% recommend Arlo anything to anyone.

    Image quality is great! Not my first Arlo camera and probably wont be the last! Geo fencing option is a must! No required paid service to use for storage you can upgrade for more space. I would highly recommend!
