    Easy to install and connect to existing chime. The installation process is basically following the phone app. I can see that could be difficult for certain chimes that don't wire like the ones i the photos. Luckily mine looks exactly like the one in the photo and it worked well. The thing I don't like is that I have to pay subscription to see the videos, when other doorbells like Eufy offer free videos.

    This door bell is awesome. From the ease of the install, to the doorbell doing what it claims to do. Works with ease and is very informative when needed. Wish this version of the camera had a higher video resolution, but that doesn't diminish the camera itself. If the current video resolution was the standard, then I wouldn't mind it. But since there is now 4K, I'm a little spoiled.

    This replaced a cheaper, older video doorbell that never worked right. Love the features and the ability to see clearly who is at the front door. The only problem I have had, unfortunately, is that I only get a gray screen when talking to the person at the front door but I hope future firmware upgrades can solve this problem.

    Love the Arlo Doorbell. Had an issue connecting to my WIFI but called support and they resolved the issue. Wish there was no monthly reoccurring fee like my Arlo cameras but looks like thats where the industry is going.

    I love the doorbell, but...

    The doorbell was great on the first day. It was easy to get installed and setup. What I hated was that even when adjusting the brightness it was still pick up a hot background during the day. So, you could really see nothing except the porch. Some of my neighbors have Nest Hello and the picture is very clear and it picks of great detail during the day. The second problem is I had to reset the unit every day because the video would show red, green, blue, and sometimes purple. Of course this is likely a problem with switching out of infrared when it is daylight, but that shouldn't be happening. Maybe I just got a dud, but I also had problems with their new cameras, so maybe the quality just isn't there anymore.

    Just installed a few days ago. So far I like it. Video quality is good no issues with lagging so far. Installation was more difficult than the ring (previously used the ring). Had connection issues with my Arlo hub, but customer service was able to help me get everything working properly. Will update review in a few months.

    I am thrilled with first and foremost the exceptional security it provides. The setup was super easy and very detailed instructions was probably one of the best provided. The app is super easy to use and the comfort it provides is top notch. I absolutely love my Arlo Video Doorbell. Not only to see live what is going on record on the fly but setting up motion zones. I absolutely love it.

    Such a great video doorbell, very easy to use and looks great by our door. Video quality is super clear and love how great the microphone works. Only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is the latency issues. I've noticed about a 1-2 second latency, which for a security video is a bit disappointing.

    Install was fairly easy with some basic electrical knowledge, and the guidance in the app. Now that I have had the camera a few months I can say this was well worth the $120. Plan on getting the $3/mo plan once the free trial runs out, these are almost useless without it, but that isnt unique to this doorbell (they all require subscriptions to be useful).
