    I think this video doorbell provides quality and timely video with some very nice features at an affordable price (both upfront for purchase and monthly for storage).

    Although a bit wider than my previous Skybell doorbell camera, which also had a bit better wider field of view, this is a much more of an advanced unit. Also works with Alexa, which I use. Easy to install, and connect to your Wi-Fi. Being that I have the Arlo2 cameras, it made sense to go with this doorbell camera. Very pleased. This is for the wired version.

    I have a 5 camera Arlo system but wanted to add the video doorbell allowing me to move a camera from the ft porch to another location. Install instructions were excellent but I had difficulty getting the video doorbell to be discovered. Called Arlo support and to my surprise got a live person who stayed on the line with me till set up was complete. Turns out the problem was a setting on my iPhone which Arlo support identified quickly. Great customer support. The motion sensing of the doorbell exceeds that of my cameras. Video quality and resolution outstanding. VERY happy with my purchase.

    After much looking I decided on the arlo video camera over the ring or nest. Main reason is because of the other arlo pro 2 cameras we have. The only downside is that you cannot use the same free storage as our pro 2 cameras with the arlo video doorbell. The door bell basically requires a subscription. Still happy with this over the other competition, but wish it would integrate better with other arlo products. Also the arlo app is great but a bit of a lag in the video.

    My only complaint would be the notifications. No matter where I set my activity zones, I still get them. ALOT of them! But the cameras and doorbell are awesome

    Arlo - Video Doorbell - Wired - White

    Arlo Video Doorbell works great. It was easy to install. The only knock on this is that if you have more than five Arlo devices connected in your home, you will have to have a subscription for the Arlo Video Doorbell otherwise the system will not let you record the doorbell. We have five exterior cameras in our home and the doorbell makes it 6. In order for us to have the doorbell record videos, we have to have a subscription.

    Sees everything. Program is great. Easy install and it works even when it is cold. (Yea, I live where it is too cold for others to operate. This works as well or better than others and it just keeps working when others don’t. I know, I replaced a more popular brand with this one. I’d do it again.)

    It took some troubleshooting to get this video doorbell up and running. The Arlo app was very helpful with this. We had to upgrade the transmitter and figure out how to connect to the appropriate wifi speed. Its been in use for about a week and it works great. The picture quality is very good and it identifies people and vehicles that it captures in the distance. It was a nice surprise when it called my phone when the doorbell was pressed! I'm still discovering all of the features but it was a great addition to my Arlo video cameras and gives me added peace of mind.

    This is our very First video doorbell. Our son recommended it and he was right. It was very easy to install. We did have to update our chime transformer but that’s because ours was old. Husband installed it with no issues. We love being alerted when someone comes to our door. We have it tied knot our google nest so if someone rings the doorbell it’ll alert us (not that we can’t hear the chime but it’s a great backup). Highly recommended this. Hope to add on with some cameras soon.

    I got this for my new home since I started installing new Smart LightSwitches in some of the rooms a few days ago I thought it was going to be difficult to install but I'm glad the previous doorbell installation was compatible This is one of the best options for HomeKit setups although I just found out I need to get the Arlo base for it to show up on my Home dashboard Speaking of the features, Video, Sound and Mic are of great quality I would definitely recommend for any SmartHome enthusiast
