Ratings and reviews

I am leaving Arlo. It is the absolute worst. Most of the time the bell camera doesn't pick up the activities near the house or at the front door. When it does, it's much later than in real-time. Oftentimes, the transmission and response to the doorbell can not be heard. The new update added more problems than fixing the existing one. The doorbell camera unknowingly goes offline for days, even weeks and there is no way to retrieve it back. The best solution is to switch to a more reliable system.

There is a bug if you have a wired item, door bell, it will go offline, and there is no way to get it back online. All wireless devices have an online/offline toggle. Edit: This bug is about 5 years old, and they still don't have ab actual fix. They just tell you to delete and redo the entire process over and over until it connects again. Edit: Support is trying to fix an engineering issue. That's not how you add a toggle button inside the app for these ongoing issues.

Not reliable for a security app. Motion detection doesn't always work. Recent update has resulted in many of my cameras not recording motion and/or not notifying me of motion. Recent update also removed a lot of options regarding notifications for certain types of motion. If you haven't already invested in these products, I would recommend staying away. I will likely be switching to something else in the near future.
