I wanted an inexpensive video doorbell but had to see if my house wiring would work. I had to hire an electrician to replace transformer in my home and re-wire. They also installed the Arlo doorbell. I had technical issue with the Transformer, not the Arlo, and replaced the Transformer. Now Arlo is working again. The app gives you step by step directions on how to install. The app walks you through step by step process. I had to call Customer Service 2x because I didn't know if the offline error was the Arlo or my wi-fi. They told me the doorbell needed power, which again was the transformer that blew out for some reason. So far I like the product and like that I'm using something different than a Ring, Google Nest, something not everyone else in the neighborhood has. One slight annoyance is getting notified from the App on all movement types but that is just a Settings change on the app. Your phone will constantly "bing" if you have notifications on from the app with any outdoor movement. You can put in sleep mode or turn off but what's the point if you want to be notified someone is at your door?
I like the features that this video doorbell offers if I could actually get it set up correctly. I'm not sure, it could be my doorbell transformer but so far I have not been able to get the doorbell to work but it does notify me by call when someone presses the doorbell as well as notifying me whenever there is a motion detected at the door.
The product is awesome, be sure to read about the subscription requirement for recording videos before purchasing and also the required door bell wiring, if you do not have a US standard 16 vac wiring already in place you'll have to wire it. I say this because the other arlo products don't require a subscription or wiring. Night vision, two way audio, angle of capture, motion detection distance, are all amazing. It also has an integrated alarm that you can control from the app.
