    Better than the last one that I got. I'm much more comfortable. Cause I know it's harmed when I leave and armed. When I stay great choice.

    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.

    This Doorbell is excellent. very simple to install the app is very easy. The only thing I don't like is if my wife and I sign into the app, one of us gets kicked out.

    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

    Great instructions

    The installation instructions were very good. The sensors try to differentiate vehicles versus humans/pets, but in my experience that only seems to work during daylight hours. And it takes a little too long to alert me on my phone when someone comes up to the porch, not too long but a few seconds later than I'd like. And sometimes a vehicle will pass the camera view before it starts recording. I didn't use the angle bracket when installing, just the flat one, and it worked well. I kind of wish that I could block off a section of the camera because my doorbell is inset a bit in my brick wall and there's about a 5th or so of my camera that only shows brick, which wouldn't be an issue except that on night recording, the brick is WAY brighter than the porch area.

    This thing is amazing and is keeping my family safe. Clear picture and audio. We love the call feature when someone rings it. FedEx and ups use it for our deliveries which helps with the Covid situation. Great product. Arlo does need a solution for constant monitor viewing though.

    The first Arlo I purchased had to be returned. Per their IT staff who were assisting with set up it was not functioning as expected. The 2nd one works perfectly. You can adjust sensitivity to meet your needs and both day and night vision are very clear. Very happy with this purchase!

    We absolutely love our video doorbell, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get! The quality of the video is unmatched, and the features of the Arlo are very user-friendly yet full of capabilities. I love it and I’m so happy that I purchased it.

    Easy to install. Great video clarity and fits a lot in the video. The app does have a 6-10 second lag when watching live and between when the motion sensor is triggered to when you see the live view.

    Requires subscription service, but it's reasonable compare to other video doorbell services. Response time is better than the Basic service from Arlo (less lag time). Video and audio quality is very good.

    I have four Arlo devices and love them. They are easy to set up and use. While the video isn't always the best, it is great for products in this price range.
