    It was a fast install and it included everything I needed, even the angled mount. So far it has been spot on detecting packages, people, and movement.

    Installation easy - I have a new condo with updated doorbell transformer and wiring. The video quality is fantastic on this. Possibly the best video on a device like this. I don't like how you need to have the Arlo smart in order to store videos in the cloud. The Arlo smart still needs work identifying packages. Hoping with more crowdsourced data that this will be better in the future. What REALLY bothers me about the device, is the LAG. To view a live stream, it takes 5-6 seconds before you get to this. And this is being at home on the same wifi network!!! If you get notified that someone is detected at your door, the app always misses this and would have to wait a minute or 2 for the saved video in the cloud. I'm sorry but i am not paying for a service that doesn't meet my expectations. The arlo app is easy to use.

    Great doorbell camera! This doorbell camera works great and gives you a wide angle view of the front door area that is adjustable to fit your viewing and monitoring needs. It doesn't get 5 stars because it is very hard to install. We had to get a larger power transformer for our door chime for the video bell to work. That was very frustrating. However, once we got that to work, it has performed really well!

    Works good right out of the box. Would have liked if I could have connected with my base station. I found out I could not without upgrading my base station. Got it hooked up to router. Had some issues switching to a new router after several times I ended up resetting and starting a new set up. Took a bit but worked better than switching networks. I am pleased with video quality and operation. I am surprised it will pick up vehicles out on the road over 40 ft away. All in all I am happy with my new addition of the Arlo video doorbell to my arlo system.

    I really like this video doorbell so far. I purchased this one over the ring and google products because we are already invested in the Arlo system so i thought this would be a good addition. The video quality is everything i had expected and it is very sleek looking next to my front door. Thats something I can't say about the ring doorbells. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because the darn thing barely stays on the wall.

    This is the second time I’ve used this doorbell. I have this associated with a full Arlo wireless camera set up. The doorbell works great, but the video is a little lagged from when someone rings it. This newer set up was super quick to install and I didn’t need the wireless doorbell because I was able to hook it up to the doorbell already on the house.

    I was not sure what I was getting into and why I really needed a video doorbell. Turns out this was very easy to install and this unit does show you everything happening just outside your door. Did not realize I had a squirl that takes the exact route every day at the same time. That little dude returns back the other way with a nut each time, he must have a huge stash somewhere. Also, this unit works very well to tell me when packages are delivered.

    The Arlo was relatively easy to install and has most of the features I was looking for. There are some drawbacks... It is slow to ring my phone and I can't get video from a doorbell press on my phone. The Amazon Echo integration is terrible. When you ask to see the doorbell, it just keeps saying "Waiting for Arlo" and then gives up. Finally, it would be nice to be able to schedule snoozing the motion alerts.
