    Easy to install and set up. Works well and keeps the front door to my shop protected. Integrated perfectly with the rest of my Arlo cameras.

    This a perfect doorbell camera. I can have conversations with people at my door while away at work. I can also save the clips of people that visit my home.

    First power outage and the system stopped working even though I have a surge protection on my AC main power and DC secondary power to protect the many IOT devices in my home. When it worked it was great but a simple power outage should not break a unit that cost this much money! FYI: I am a master electrician. Disappointed and purchased a Ring.

    Best Video Doorbell

    The Arlo Essential video doorbell is the nicest looking, most feature-packed video doorbell on the market. The high definition - 1 to 1 resolution really renders the image with a much better perspective and clarity than the competition. The Arlo doorbell is easy to install and set up. Highly recommended!

    I had the Ring doorbell before. It was like night and day. Arlo video is very clear and audio is amazing. I highly recommend this product.

    Love the quality of video. Better if connected to straight to WiFi than hub to eliminate distorted video and lesser delay time.

    This was great so far but recently the unit stopped connecting. Thankfully I purchased the extended warranty just under 2 years old. The doorbell is hardwired and sitting in direct sunlight so its discolored on the bottom section. So for almost 2 years it worked fabulous, did disconnect a few times but not many. I thought it was worth the money and very, very, very, few missed video clips.

    Overall, this product works well. I replaced a Ring doorbell with this, and I've been satisfied for the most part. I was surprised that the my iPhone actually rings as if I am receiving a call when someone rings the doorbell; my Ring didn't do that. I'm not sure if I like that feature or not, TBH. I am disappointed that I cannot see video from the doorbell in the Apple Home App/AppleTV without a hub. I didn't know this when I bought (I'm sure it was on the box), but I wasn't disappointed enough to return the doorbell. I'm sure I'll eventually buy a hub.

    Works well enough, but there is a lag due to my slow internet. Some pixilation during movements.
