    Has decent picture quality for the price. I also like the square video display that does catch more vertically. Easy to install. Its the zones and notifications that are the same as all the rest. With all of “customization options” i would think it would be easier to get less. I am still in promotion phase of the membership. Iam goijg to try the free option after and compRe

    I had an audio doorbell with a paired Arlo camera. I changed to a video doorbell and it’s been amazing since then. The angle of camera is perfect. Picture quality is superior. Icing on cake is I get notifications even before the doorbell is pressed. Amazing product. Absolutely love it.

    Overall the unit is good but it irritates me when I'm walking in and out of the house and get constant wrings on my phone. There should be someway to shut it off for times where lots of people are coming over. I also find that a delivery person may come up and hit the door bell but they are all the way back to the truck before I get the notification. Installation people and sales people were great. Very helpful.

    My husband and I have been wanting to purchase a camera security system for a while now. We did our research and found that the Arlo was overall the best choice. The setup was easy and the app is very user-friendly. Also, the picture quality is amazing! I would absolutely recommend the Arlo video doorbell!

    I'm happy with this doorbell for the most part but the camera is a bit too sensitive for my taste. It picks up every passing car and goes nuts on a windy night. Aside from that it works well and was easy to setup.

    Great video doorbell - being wired, never have to charge it. Video quality is clear and you can arm/disarm to receive notifications and record video for motion, vehicle, person, animal, etc. Love our arlo doorbell to match our arlo cameras we already had! Highly recommend!

    This is s great video doorbell. I have only had a few false motion alerts. The video and audio are good quality. A little lag in audio which is normal with mesh systems. I can only compare it to the skybell which it beats hands down. Pricey but you get what you pay for.

    I absolutely love my new doorbell. It is wonderful knowing when a package is delivered or who happens to be at your door without opening your door and becoming a victim of a crime possibly. I love it. Great quality video. Can even talk to people at your door when your not at home.

    Final piece of coverage to my Arlo family. Great kit that has everything needed for simple install. Angled brackets so you can change the sight line if needed. Super quick notification when someone rings the bell. Only negative is lag when using 2 way communication

    I bought the cameras first and then had to get the doorbell. I love that I can see who rang the door bell when I am not home and is great when you receive a package and you arent home you can tell them to leave it without a signature. I love the arlo products!

    Was looking to get a competitors, after the “listening in” nightmare, was very thankful Arlo released their version besting the door bell. Works great, easy to install. For the better options you will need a subscription. The trial hasn’t ran out just yet. Haven’t decided if I need that, we’ll see

    I am using this doorbell for almost 2 weeks now. Initially I was getting lot of notifications based on motions. It is easy to set up motion using Arlo app and specify time too for motion and sensitivity. Another great part is that it is working perfectly fine with echo show 5.

    Awesome Video Doorbell!!!

    I recently purchased the new Arlo Video Doorbell and I'm really happy with the product. The doorbell is amazing and comes with a great video quality and with a great price also. I was thinking about getting the Google Nest earlier but after comparing both items using the Bestbuy compare feature and watching videos on Youtube I came to the conclusion the Arlo was a better item for the buck. The video quality has a wide coverage and with a 1 to 1 aspect ratio that is far more superior to any product out there now. The Arlo app is also easy to use and has smart alerts for packages, animals, person, and vehicles. There is no base for this doorbell and the videos are stored. The cost for the subscription to access the videos is a reasonable $2.99 a month for 30 days which is way better than the $5 for 5 days the Google Nest charges. And there's a also a free 3 month subscription to cloud service also. I'm the I'm very happy with the doorbell and would recommend this anyone in the market for a video doorbell.

    I bought this door bell about a month ago for $99. It looks cool, was easy to install. It uses the existing wires from the traditional door bell. It rings my phone and the main ringer when someone is at the door. It works well, picture is crystal clear. So far no issues
