    This is my second unit. My first unit developed a defect in the camera lens. I paid a full price for the second one since the first one was 2 years old and out of warranty. I bought it again because it is a better price compared to others. It has a good day and night vision. There is a slight delay in being able to see the image and speaking to the person in front of the doorbell. I don't know if this is related to the Arlo server of my wifi system. Although my google camera images are instantaneous. I installed both the previous and present one myself. Fairly easy installation. This doorbell is at the gate to my property. I have an indoor wifi operated doorbell Arlo ringer which communicates with this doorbell. My regular doorbell the transistor is burned out.

    The perfect add-on along with my Arlo hub w/3 wireless cameras. The Arlo Camera doorbell captures, clear high definition. Great choice for the price.

    Great video quality. Audio quality is fair. However, the delay between someone ringing the bell and you being able to talk to them is ridiculous. The latency is WAY too long. This might work if you have a very long driveway and guests with excellent hearing. Otherwise, they will be long gone before they hear you say, "I'll be right there."
