    I like to device and can pick up anybody who comes to the door. It does pick up vehicles and people walking past my doorway. The dislike with this device is sometimes it does not have a clear quality image. Sometimes I People all the image comes too blurry or blacked out, and I cannot see who the person is at the door.

    This has been a great purchase. The only thing is that you have to get a subscription to Arlo after a free trial in order to get all the functions to work. Not happy about that.

    nice doorbell with lower cost monthly vs nest

    I replaced a nest doorbell with this one since its $10 a month for unlimited cameras vs a pay per camera with nest. I use this along with the floodlight camera and a few others. Speaker is clear, camera quality is good and it was easy to setup but it can take some time to dial in settings to prevent accidental notifications like someone walking in front of my house vs coming up to the door.

    I now have 4 Arlo cameras and an Arlo doorbell cam. I think I like the doorbell best. No batteries! View is great and records well. I’m glad I finally got it.

    This is a great camera. I feel a lot safer now seeing who is coming to my door. I love that I can see my door, stairs, mailbox, street, and some of my yard. I wish all cameras were this easy to use.

    This product has been great for us. Very durable and works like a charm. So convenient to know who’s at the door and even be able to communicate with them without having to go to the door.

    Since our home has Arlo cameras this is an amazing addition, Plus I love it when someone rings, it calls my phone like a WhatsApp call so I never miss the notification.

    Worthless without the expensive monthly subscripti

    First on the hardware: Camera is OK on regards of materials and size. Its very compact and looks sturdy. Installation is NOT straightforward and there are many steps which if not followed closely may damage the camera. Image is not so good. Light conditions like glare form sunlight affects a great deal image, and infrered is not the best. BIG problem is the app. It works fine, but you need full subscription to make the camera works, which runs up to 25$/month. Without this the camera will not have any basic feature like motion detection. This was not clearly advertised in the product detials page. As there are other options in the market which do have basic features w/o subscription I will return this product and get another one.

    This device is exactly what we needed as the volume of deliveries at our front door has increased. I like being able to speak with delivery staff, even if I am not at home.
