    Good quality video doorbell. Would suggest, in addition to angle mount, an additional mount to position doorbell perpendicular on lap siding.

    I'm still learning how to use this item. So far the fisheye look sort of makes it look like you're standing in front of one of those circus mirrors that make u look tall and thin and vise versa. Had to do some trouble shooting with the doorbell chime connecting, because first there was no sound, then there was a short sound. I googled it and works fine now. So it does connect just keep trying. Geek squad who installed it didn't even know until I searched it.

    I was a Ring Pro user for a long time and multiple houses. I originally purchased the Ring Pro with the promise of HomeKit compatibility. After I don’t remember years of waiting I decided to see what else was out there. I saw that Arlo had a doorbell but I embarrassingly looked at other competitors because the Arlo was so inexpensive. I circled back around to Arlo because of HomeKit and the features and made the purchase. I am so glad I did because it is so much better than ring. It works great and I love the viewing angle and how I can now see my door mat.

    Not up to expectations

    The picture quality is good. The only problem I have with this product is that it alerts me to someone's presence after that person had come to door and about to leave. Take UPS delivery for example, the driver approaches the door, drops the item and starts to walk away and that is when I receive the alert. It doesn't pick the person up as he or she approaches the door and in the camera's view.

    So far so good with this doorbell. I have had it installed for about a week. Install went smoothly. I was glad to see that it came with an angle mount in the box. I haven't decided yet if I will get one that angles it more, but it seems to give good coverage at this point. Need to fine tune alerts that I want to get, but it provides the features that I would like to see. I have had intermittent success getting it to show on my JBL Smart Display or tv chromecasts.

    I purchased this doorbell because I have other Arlo products. It sends notifications and my phone rings when the doorbell is activated. The clarity is outstanding!

    The camera on this doorbell is crystal clear! I am incredibly pleased with my purchase. * Sometimes the app freezes up ( which hasn't been often ) and this is my only complaint. I like how it allows someone to leave a message if you don't answer the doorbell. I don't miss ANYTHING that occurs on my porch ( day or night! )

    This works well with my other Arlo products and security hub with some exceptional video quality. Definitely recommend as I replaced my SkyBell HD doorbell with Arlo.

    Easy set up. Love the camera feature versus the initial one we had without. Connects right away to the existing Arlo equipment we had and Alexia. Highly recommend.

    Easy to program and very good picture/sound quality. For the price, I’m sold. This is better than the Ring option and it matches the cameras and flood light at my home!

    I’ve been searching for the “perfect” home security system for the past month or so. In my home there is my pregnant wife, my mom and me. Having these security cameras help me know what goes on in and out of my home while I’m not there. Assuring me that my wife and family are protected. And all the features that come with their subscription make it where I don’t even have to think twice about getting it, especially for the great price of everything. Both my wife and mother feel safer now, and for me having that feeling and security is worth every penny. And Arlo was the way for me to get the most out of my time and money
