- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: WiredPattern Name: DoorbellVerified PurchaseAfter extensive searching and comparing. Finally decided for the Arlo video doorbell.
The main feature is the ability to see more of a vertical view rather than a horizontal. Which, I my case, I am able to see my packages that arrive at all times.
- The installation process was a breeze! Following the steps through the app is about as easy as it can get. The only issue I had was turning off the power for the door bell itself. Tried any and all breakers that could be associated with the doorbell, but no luck. It is to my understanding that I may be wire with the furnace depending of the wiring. However, some homes may have the correct circuit breaker. I continued the installation process with caution and was able to install with no issues.
- The screw is about an 8 size. I used a 1/8” drill bit for the pilot hole. Worked perfectly.
**Update to this part: found a super handy chart and I realized I should have used a different size. Regardless, the 1/8” it still worked for me.
- The set up process of the actual video doorbell was also seamless. The app guides you in detail through every step and even offers solutions to problems you might encounter.
- Video quality of the Arlo video doorbell is phenomenal. Keeping in mind that it is a small camera, it definitely surpassed my expectation. Having that vertical field of view rather than the horizontal, to me was a lot more beneficial.
- The app notifies you of any movement within about 6 to 10 seconds! Once on the app you’ll be able to view the video clip. At first I was fascinated by this, however, I quickly grew tired of getting notified of every car that passed by the street. And that’s where this app is better than others. The Arlo app allows you to customize zones that you want to be notified when something enters that zone. I am able to get the side walk, all of my front yard to include my entrance and some of my driveway. Keep in mind that not all entrances face out directly to the street. The Arlo video doorbell comes with a wall mount that is tilted so you are able to get a better view, with doorbells that do not point to the street.
- If someone rings your doorbell, the app will call you phone. In which you can communicate with the person outside and let’s you view the video as well. Furthermore, it allows you to leave your own customized audio message if you do not answer.
- The only “negative” comment I have to say about this is the subscription service. But that is relative, let me explain.
Arlo starts you off with a 3 month free trial, in which, you get all the benefits of having an Arlo doorbell. Such as, setting zones is your video so you don’t get alerts for every movement. It learn behaviors such as people, cars and animals. Cloud service for 30 days in which you can save clips. And plenty more! After your trial is over, all these features are gone and it becomes a regular video doorbell. Yes, you still get notified but you are not able to make certain adjustments.
If you want to continue with the service there’s a fee associated with every Arlo product that you have to pay for. For example, if you have Arlo video cameras and Arlo floodlight then they are considered independent which you have to pay for individually. I will provide an update, but I believe that for the door bell it is $3.99.
- Overall I would highly recommend the Arlo video doorbell. The installation and set up process was extremely easy coupled with the guidance of the Arlo app, it sets you up for success. Additionally, it is worth noting that after 3 months of the Arlo service subscription you will be given the option to continue the service. Meaning monthly subscription. Regardless, if you are in the market for a high quality doorbell and service look no further than the Arlo video doorbell.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023Color: WhiteSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: WiredPattern Name: DoorbellVerified PurchaseI recently made a significant upgrade to my home security system by installing the Arlo Essential Wired Video Doorbell, and I am thrilled with the results. This doorbell has truly transformed the way I protect my home and maintain peace of mind.
I purchased two of these impressive doorbells to cover the entrances of my house, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The HD video quality provides a crystal-clear view of everything happening at my doorsteps, and the 180° field of view ensures that no detail goes unnoticed. Even during nighttime, the night vision feature allows me to see clearly, providing an added layer of security.
What truly sets the Arlo Essential Wired Video Doorbell apart is its two-way audio capability. This feature allows me to have real-time conversations with visitors or delivery personnel, even when I'm away from home. It provides a seamless and convenient way to communicate instructions or simply let someone know that I'm unavailable.
One of the reasons I decided to switch to the Arlo Essential Wired Video Doorbell was because of its superior performance and reliability. I had previously used a doorbell from a well-known brand, but the Arlo Essential has exceeded my expectations. The installation process, although requiring wiring, was straightforward and hassle-free. The DIY aspect allowed me to easily integrate it into my existing setup without any issues.
The Arlo app is another standout feature of this doorbell. It provides seamless access to live video feeds and recordings, ensuring that I never miss a moment. I receive instant notifications on my smartphone whenever someone approaches my door or rings the bell, allowing me to stay connected and informed no matter where I am.
In summary, the Arlo Essential Wired Video Doorbell has proven to be the perfect home security upgrade for me. Its exceptional HD video quality, wide field of view, two-way audio, and convenient app integration have made it an invaluable addition to my home. I highly recommend this doorbell to anyone looking to enhance their home security and enjoy peace of mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very versatile and easy to install
Color: BlackSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: Wire-FreePattern Name: DoorbellVerified PurchaseI had bought the wired one (AVD1001) first since I had a working doorbell but the voltage in my transformer was not sufficient. Rather than finding, buying, and installing a new transformer, I bought this model. It works like a charm! It even charges the battery with my low (8V) doorbell transformer. No need to ever take it off and charge it which is WONDERFUL! Integrates easliy with Alexa and with my arlo base. Announces on my Alexa speakers that someone is at the door and I also get a a call on my phone.

La red wifi junto al timbre es muy sólida. Pareciera que es un tema con la app. El tema es que no ha cumplido su función. Lo cambiaré por Eufy
