Packed in good condition

Value wise not convincing enough to recommend

Model: AVD2001B-100APSStyle Name: Arlo Wireless Video DoorbellVerified Purchase

High price - low value

1)The app and registration process is a hassle. Requires both an app on handphone and access web browser on a computer.

2) detection wise although always detected monitor but missing out the 1st few moments when object come into frame. - major let down.

3) 3 selection for video quality. 720 /1080 /1536. In terms of CCTV - detect/identify/recognize. Distance of 3meter would always identify. Object closer to 1.8 meter would be recognized. Overall reasonable satisfaction.

4) apple fan HomeKit integration. Difficult but not impossible. Arlo has make a 2FA requirement, therefore if you want 2FA, you might need a spare phone laying around to do the authentication.

Beautiful design, let down by a sub-standard Arlo doorbell

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 March 2019

Model: AC1001-100UKSStyle Name: Arlo ChimeVerified Purchase

**Just a quick note, this review does focus mainly on the Arlo doorbell (seeing as you can't really have one without the other!).**

First things first - I. love. Arlo. products. Not only do they look sleek as hell, but they're super easy to set up and the user interface on both the app and desktop versions are seamless and easy to use for any age range!

With the above in mind, you'll understand that as soon as I saw new Arlo products being spoken about at CES 2019 I was instantly on Amazon, chucking the Arlo doorbell and additional Arlo chime straight in my basket for immediate pre-order!

After a a month or so's wait for the release date, I finally had my Arlo doorbell and chime (insert 'kid on Christmas morning' meme here!). All other boring adult duties thrown aside to make time for testing and set up! ...this was unfortunately where the fun times abruptly ended :'( - yes, sad face (because super frustrated face can't be done!). So I will say right off the bat, the Arlo chime works as it should with 8/10 for volume and 7/10 for chime sounds available to choose from. The whole design of the chime is, in my personal opinion just perfect - I love the grey and white colours (the grey on the front is a textured material, with LED's being that glow through very nicely), it's compact and the build quality is up to the usual brilliant standards from Arlo! I would like to add that I really wish there were more chimes available to choose from, off the top of my head I would say there is around 15-20 which yes, does sound like a fair amount and maybe I'm just being picky, but like an old phone, I felt a lot of these chimes were pretty unrealistic for what you would actually class as a doorbell chime. I also feel that they could have made it slightly louder, seeing what such small speakers in phones can produce nowadays, I'd expect a dedicated plug-in noise machine to be able to top that! but it just about okay for my 3-bed house. I know it sounds like I'm giving the doorbell a pretty hard time of it, but these are just small issues I would have liked to see improved (maybe in Chime pro/Chime 2?). Other than these, I definitely would have kept the Chime, if it weren't for the Arlo doorbell. The Arlo doorbell is where this really fall apart...let's break this down into some nice simple bullet points:
Pros
- Motion sensor alerts you when the doorbell senses motion at close proximity.
- This also triggers a white LED ring around the doorbell to start slowly glowing.
- The doorbell itself looks awesome with the contrasting white sides/rear and all black front with discreet 'Arlo' printed to the front.

Cons
- Works with Alexa (any Alexa devices you have will also play the chime sound) = does not work with Alexa.
- Takes 2x AA batteries = would have expected rechargeable from Arlo (2 per pack so no downtime would have surely been acceptable and certainly help reflect the price tag?)
- There really is quite a time gap once the doorbell has been pressed and to when your phone starts ringing to either activate the linked camera and the integrated microphone in the doorbell or just using the doorbell mic with no camera.
- If left unanswered, the doorbell will proceed in asking if the guest would like to leave a voicemail...a couple of issue here:
- The prerecorded message is really crackly and can't be changed to anything else or to record your own message.
- The messages I managed to leave (I say managed as this was quite an unstable thing to do) were not in my Arlo archive, even though the app alerts you to there being 'new messages from doorbell'.

SO after evaluating all of the above and weighing out the pros vs the cons, it was with a heavy heart that I decided to return both the Arlo doorbell and Arlo chime (nice to look at but the the dosh and without the doorbell, pretty pointless on it's own) and wait for Arlo to release a few more updates.

...until then!

Great product for the money

The door bell it’s self is easy to install. The battery didn’t last as long as I expected, but ordered another so I always had one on stand by. Would say that is a good idea, as 5/6 weeks in and it told me it had 15% left. The call on ring away from home is good. You can see who’s at the door without having to speak, just to check who it is first then tapping the mic icon enables you to speak. Great bell, worth the purchase.

You’ll need one of these for Arlo

It works fine and arrived on time, it’s easy to install. It’s just a shame they take so long to charge so you have no real choice but to spend money on this *after* buying the doorbell, which isn’t something they make clear in the initial spec. I’d rather have had an honest price displayed and a spare battery in the initial package.

Battery lasted longer than others . It seemed not necessary to wire up instead of using second battery to exchange.
