Works good no issues easy to use and install plays in 2k

So far so good this was easy to install, reasonably priced and works as expected going to buy one for our other doors.

This is a good option for most as it provides options for both wired and wireless setup. It looks good and has many advanced features for security while integrating well in the Arlo ecosystem. The device has its faults but slightly redeems itself with the app which is loaded with features. Pros: Looks -Ease of setup -App features -Integration with other Arlo devices -Battery or hard wired Cons: -Video quality -Audio quality -Not many options for mounting Setup: The only people that might have an issue with setup are those who live in an apartment since you will most likely need to drill holes to mount this properly. I would have preferred a backplate with multiple screw spacing options but the spacing you will need measures out to 4” apart whereas your normal smaller doorbell is spaced about 2 ¼” apart. There is plenty of room in the backplate where they could have put a few more holes for various spacings which would have been just as secure to adhere to the wall. Your other option (not in the instructions) is to find a strong double-sided tape, there are many options available that will be very hard to rip off. Pairing with the app requires charging the device, then using a SIM ejection tool to set up Wi-Fi. It only supports 2.4GHz which is both good and bad. Good due to the greater range it brings, but bad since your speed for video will be lower. I installed the wired option using a mechanical chime. Verify on the website if your chime is compatible first. After securing power to the doorbell, I removed the old doorbell and installed the new one with the regular straight mounting plate and two existing wires. After plugging it in it was ready to go with a few tests. Performance: I tested it with a press of the bell, and it rang on my phone providing an answer/decline option. I was a little disappointed with the video quality since it is 2K resolution, but it looked more like 480P or lower to me with lots of artifacts. My Wi-Fi router is only about 10 feet away so the signal should have been strong. There are some neat quick reply text options in a call such as “leave the package at the door” or “sorry I can’t come to the door right now” and it speaks it in a feminine robotic voice to the person outside. In the app it leaves a call history, and you can view the videos after the fact stored in the cloud. Upon viewing the recorded message, items in the foreground are well defined but HDR is very bad with the sky being extremely blown out. There are options in the menu for video quality. By default, it set itself to 1944x1944 at “optimized’ quality to imbalance quality vs battery life. If you are going to be wired, I highly recommend you set it to “best video”, but I did not find it increased the video quality by much and it still appeared relatively low resolution to me. Video has about a 2 second delay during an answered call. Audio: The audio sounded low resolution and low quality to me when standing outside. It gets the job done but it could be better. The same can be said about the recording with audio sounding like it was recorded on a phone. Security features: Where the product shines is what it allows you to do while integrating with the Arlo ecosystem. I have already discussed recordings of calls for record keeping, but in addition, you will also get activity zones, night vision and a 1-month trial to Arlo Secure providing you with the following; 30 days recording, intelligent alerts as to what triggered your camera, 24/7 emergency response, professional monitoring. These features will depend on what level of the subscription you end up subscribing for but can be very useful.

It works well and reliable and good screen quality of 2k

Works as advertised. Easy install. Great price with black friday discount.

Love the video quality and detection features! It’s super accurate and consistent. The app is simple to use and easy on the eyes with simple menus. The video doorbell really works well with all of the other smart home devices we have.

This has to be my favorite camera from arlo. The door bell is awesome. Clear audio and picture. You can hardwire or just use the battery. Either way its a great doorbell camera.

Love this doorbell system. Previously had a ring camera, but switched to Arlo camera system (recommended), so added the Arlo doorbell camera as well. Easy connection, long lasting battery and high quality video. Only drawback is the subscription charges I pay for my Arlo ecosystem, but I believe the Doorbell can be used as a standalone, without additional monthly fees.

We are happy with our purchase of the Arlo System. Video quality and ease of installation are great. The only negative is that in order to record video, you must subscribe to a service, which is $20+ a month. I did not anticipate this when I purchased, but I am still happy with the cameras and video quality.

Easy to install and set up on the app was a breeze. The video quality is excellent and so is the audio quality.

This video doorbell is excellent except the fact that I live in an apartment with an angled door and the angled bracket that comes with it is not angled enough. I wish it came with more angle options without having to purchase a 3d printed version on amazon. It needs to be charged every week and a half and probably more frequently if if you use the 2k resolution. I do like that it has a theft security feature being that it requires a pinhole push to detach it from the spot its mounted on. to remove it otherwise you would probably need a crow bar or hammer but would probably damage it in the process.

Love the clear footage, motion alert chime needs more options & to be louder

Love the ease of setting it up! I previously owned the audio doorbell and a separate camera so it's nice to have it combined. Hopefully the battery life is good since it has to be charged versus replacing the batteries!

Super easy installation, battery function gets around older homes with bad existing door bell wiring, can be brittle and break. Syncs easily with your Arlo base station and chimes.

I have been wanting a doorbell camera and have used Arlo for many years with my outdoor cameras. I bought the Arlo doorbell camera and it was very easy to install, and the footage looks good, and easy to use.

I bought the Arlo pro 3 pack a few years ago, but at that time i went the cheaper way and got a blink Doorbell camera. So i finally replaced it with the arlo version and it was totally worth it. Easy installation and since i already have arlo camera's it connected to the spp almost automatically. Also it has a rechargeable battery so no more replacing the batteries. Great picture and sound plus the other features are awesome too. Im glad i finally got it. Awesome set of cameras

Love everything about it so easy to install and to program would recommend to everyone

Long battery, great picture quality, happy with it

Seems to work well once it was all set up. Customer support was helpful.
