The chime works well, i have had one in the past and always regretted moving to another brand. Set up is simple there's an option in the settings of the door bell to set up this device and the sound is loud enough to be heard at the back of the house. I love how I'm able to plug it into any plug I want which allows me to have it in my living room.The arlo doorbell I have received as a gift from my sister but will review this too as its sold on here :) set up was very hard as it was second hand i didn't have any instructions but on set up I was given advice through the help zone which told me to reset the device and how to do this. It worked straight away! I will say I seen some reviews saying it's hard to connect to the wi fi and yes I did have this issue but a call to my EE who put the broadband on only 2.4ghz setting fixed this issue. After the camera was installed I rang back EE to put my settings back to normal and the doorbell is still working (it does say on instructions during set up that Internet needs to be 2.4ghz).Recording is clear and does show quite a bit of the road and I love the option to record longer then the default 15s. There are plenty of settings to change for example video settings or how sensitive the camera is and of course the option to add a chime assessorie which I would recommend as when your phone is on silent you don't know the door bell is ringing unless your on your phone to see the notification. Mic works perfectly and even on windy days I'm able to hear the person clearly. The arlo app is very easy to use and I have felt this works better then my tapo cameras which i had before although I'd say the budget tapo camera seem to be more clearer then the arlo ones! Overall I'd say the camera is worth the money, i will be purchasing the outdoor set up too.

Works very well! couldn’t be happier with the Arlo Doorbell. The video resolution is absolutely fantastic, crystal clear both day and night, with a wide-angle view that lets me see everything happening around my front door. The build quality feels premium and durable, and the installation was straightforward.What really stands out is how much more secure I feel knowing I can instantly check who’s at the door from anywhere. The motion detection is responsive without being overly sensitive, and the notifications come through quickly. I love being able to speak directly to delivery drivers or visitors, even when I’m not home.Overall, this doorbell has given me peace of mind and a real sense of control over my home security. Highly recommend!

Ok updated as original review was at the end of frustration with the chime disconnecting - however, finally got talking to a tech support individual who understood my issue and clearly explained what was happening.In short "when pairing using your phone ensure mobile data is off, this interferes and confuses the system", it will then see and pick up the relevant wifi (which in fairness we have several wifi extenders and points). In the end I connected to a closest wifi extender nearest the doorbell location, has worked flawlessly since.As for the doorbell, if you have a lot of coming and goings think which side of your door you mount it. Our front door is down the drive on the right side of the house. Our bell is mounted to the left, so picks up every time someone leave the front door to go to the rear of the house - which is many times a day. Solution, focus the doorbell to a tighter range outside the main walkway if that covers enough of your area. Or, simply mount the doorbell on the side with the least amount of traffic. Reason I say this, seem to have to recharge it every other week.That aside, works ok. Little delay on the mobile around 5 secs even when in the house - delivery drivers dont hang around for long! But has caught a few naughties having a snoop and shocked them - either looking for packages or other!Overall charging aside, happy - just wish Id got one hard wired.Original review since expunged Im happy to say:Worked for a week.Doorbell reconnected fine.Ringer will not see any WIFI's in our home. Worked previously now nothing.Reset (sync), contacted Arlo - they keep closing the tickets as resolved"WHICH IT MOST DEFINATELY IS NOT"and there are many posts on their support forum reflecting the same issues.This issue is ongoing for years with no one single solution presented.I highly recommend the doorbell - great clear and efficient.FORGET THE CHIME -TOTAL JUNK and the underhanded perception of resolved tickets, which if you review their forum website, you shall see many other customers reporting the same issues with their kit not seeing WIFI, stating resolutions which don't work and closing the threads marked as resolved.VERY DECEITFUL behaviour from a company.Maybe one day they will be honest and resolve or recall but have not done so since I can see the issues reported since 2019 so for now DO NOT BUY.

Easy to install, quick access a good product

Easy to set up. Almost plug and play. Reduces the reliance in hearing doorbell on phone alone. I keep mine plugged in hallway.

Despite having super-fast internet with excellent range, there was an awful delay between the doorbell button being pressed and the chime sounding. Sometimes (often) the bell didn't chime at all. Sometimes it would chime about a minute later. Also - extremely annoyingly - not only would the chime sound, but I'd get a telephone call on my mobile every time the doorbell rang. Who needs this? You cannot turn that off, well, not without turning the chime off too - you really thought this through Arlo, huh? Also, you can only change the chime during the arduous set up process (in which it NEVER found my excellent router and I always had to enter it manually), with the result that you have a chime sound you didn't pick, if you're lucky (and not at all most of the time), twinned with unwanted calls verging on harassment every time the ****** button was pressed. An infuriating product - going straight back. What a waste of everyone's time and energy.
