BradBrad: The media could not be loaded.  Works as it should. I didn’t have a doorbell before so I started from scratch and had to install a transformer.

It comes with a flat mount and angle mount.
Come with Ray instructions and also a QR code you can scan with your phone directing you to a YouTube video of all the different ways to install.

The night vision is very good.

Your phone rings and you answer (you can set to mute on answer or unmute on answer), you can pick watch the video and select a responds that’s preset “hello, please leave package at door” and other reply’s.

Note that my front door is about 30ft from my modem and 2walls so the wifi connection must be pretty good.

G. S. TipswordG. S. Tipsword: Thought I'd post this in case it might help others with the same or similar setup. House came with a Music and Sound (M&S) 223 Music-Intercom System with front and back doorbells, front 2-way speaker, and 5 room wall speaker units (pictured). Having run low on coal to power it, we purchased an Arlo Essential Wired Video Doorbell AVD1001. While waiting for delivery, I removed the front door speaker unit and discovered the M&S used 14VDC to the door bell...not the expected (and now more common) 24VAC. Bummer. Two story house with door bell wiring coming from the attic, so rewiring would be complicated (and in a 130 degree space at this time of year in Houston). And, unlike converting AC to DC, DC to AC is more complicated and expensive (and no, to those who aren't aware, there's no such thing as a DC transformer).

Anyway, investigating the intercom 'Master Unit' revealed its primary power supply to be at 21.5VAC. Ah ha. Not needing the old front door speaker any more, I hijacked its wiring and spliced it into the AC power. I also left the master unit end of the door bell button wiring intact. So now there was AC present at the door, and the existing chime wiring,...

Amazon Customer: It functioned as stated and powered up from our 25+ year old existing door bell.

ivan: Works great

Matt: I replaced my old doorbell cam with this, but it was basically unusable for seeing what is happening in real time. The audio and video from the camera is delayed by 5-30 seconds (fluctuating) so it's pretty much impossible to talk to someone at your door, and they have probably already left by the time you see them no video. I did some searching and it seems like many other people have the same problem. My old doorbell cam had less than 1 second delay. I've now installed a google nest cam and it also has less than 1 second delay and works great.

Amazon Customer: Hard to say why some other people found it difficult to install this doorbell, but in my case it took 20 minutes. The step-by-step instructions (available on the app) were simple and clear. The only problem I encountered was that the wires to the existing doorbell were a bit short, so connected them to the back of the Arlo devise was awkward. The doorbell comes with extension wires and marettes, but there wasn't enough room behind the camera for the marettes so I couldn't use them.
One reviewer complained about the cost of rolling 30-day cloud storage and suggested that it costs $13-15/month. Wish I knew where he got that from because it clearly says on the website that the cost is $2.99/mo in the U.S. and $3.99/mo. in Canada. That strikes me as reasonable.
I'm currently using the Arlo doorbell at one of our properties. I'm impressed, so I'm planning to install one at another property. Yes, it would be nice if the unit was a bit smaller, but I can live with that.

Ed Zapf: The good:
1. Good video quality.
2. Easy mounting and setup.
3. Notification includes snapshot of what triggered motion sensor sent directly to my Apple watch.

The bad:
1. Quite expensive compared to alternatives.
2. Paid subscription required for saving video to cloud ($15/month for 30 days 4k cloud recording or 10/month for 2k cloud recording. By comparison, Wyze gives you 14 days cloud recording for free).
3. Beware the 3 month trial subscription that comes with it. Nowhere does it say "free." I discovered that it is a 3 month trial - that you pay for! and at the end of 3 months, apparently, I guess, you get to decide if you want to CONTINUE paying? I'm only 3 weeks in now, so I'm a little curious what will happen at the end of three months. I suspect they just keep charging you. [UPDATE: Reading other reviews, it seems that the 3 month trial service is free? Not sure why they charged me, but I am done fighting with them and I will just cancel]
4. Apparently, if you have an Arlo Video doorbell and an Arlo hub or base station, the doorbell must be connected to the Arlo hub or base station, not directly to Wi-Fi, for the doorbell to ring a conventional...
