    This doorbell camera was easy to install and get into operation. It works great and very high quality picture. We had Arlo cameras already so nothing else needed.

    Switching over from my Nest Hello doorbell (which we loved) and also some other nest cameras. Made the switch because our new alarm wasn’t compatible with nest which is why we chose the Arlo cameras and video doorbell. Make sure you set up the activity zones properly otherwise you’ll be getting 500 notifications a day. Once they’re set up it only notifies you when something of importance happens. It can tell you if it spots a package, animal, or person. Over all we are extremely happy and will be adding more cameras as time goes. If you’re in the market do yourself a favor and make the purchase!

    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.

    I now feel secure. I can check on things when I am away as well as see who is at the door, while I am at home. I even see the animals on the porch at night.

    Great system and very easy to set up! The only negative thing is when you purchase the doorbell you are forced into a monthly contract to view recorded video.
