Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 612 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported that the products, including doorbells and cameras, stopped working or had significant issues like lagging, freezing, or failing to record. Reviewers also found the customer service to be unhelpful, unresponsive, and difficult to reach, often referring them to departments that provided no real assistance. A significant number of people were dissatisfied with the subscription model, noting that it was expensive and often required even after purchasing the camera, making the devices useless without it. However, some customers also noted that certain products, like the Arlo doorbell camera and Ultra 3 camera, worked well, were easy to install, and offered good video quality and features. A few other people also felt that the app was easy to use and provided clear video, with some even praising the customer service for smooth onboarding and helpfulness.

It’s clear they care about their customers, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable products and excellent service.

I am very pleased with the camera doorbell and camera to the rear.
However, the doorbell only rings on my phone so if phone not near me I don’t if anyone is there. Plus I would like to take the alerts of the doorbell and have it just activate when it is rung but there does not seem to be that option.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your kind feedback following our invite! We’re delighted to hear that you’re pleased with your Arlo Essential Video Doorbell and camera.

To receive an alert when a visitor presses your Video Doorbell, in addition to the SIP call, you have a couple of options:

1. You can connect the Video Doorbell to an Arlo Chime 2 (sold separately), which is designed for indoor use. Each time someone presses your Video Doorbell, the Arlo Chime 2 will play a melody.

2. Alternatively, you can hardwire your Video Doorbell to an existing mechanical or digital chime with a voltage of 8–24V AC. This setup will both trickle‑charge the doorbell’s battery and ring your existing chime whenever the doorbell is pressed.

You can find more information here:

Arlo Chime 2 on our website: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/accessories/arlo-chime-v2?c=white&t=one.camera.kit

If you’re not interested in motion detection, you can disable it within the rule for the Video Doorbell in the selected Mode. The Video Doorbell will also stop sending you notifications when it detects motion. You can also temporarily mute notifications for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or 24 hours.

Not a security doorbell unless you subscribe, just a doorbell then.

Security doorbell is now just a doorbell...
It was provided by local police following close by burglaries so didn't actually buy it. Installed it, perfect for a while as recordings were saved, but now the trial has ended, I don't have the funds for a subscription, be it £7.99 or 19.99...
Shame local police is probably not aware of this issue since there are a lot of council houses in the neighbourhood without much funds to spare for subscriptions.
So from a security camera doorbell, now a simple doorbell as nothing is recorded and saved (pointless for the police...)
I live on a main road with lots of foot traffic so a 24h recording would be helpful without a subscription in case footage is needed.I'm happy to delete video footage on a daily basis (which I did during the trial),but I will look at cheaper alternatives as this one doesn't fit the intended purpose unless I pay for what I deem an expensive subscription.

Dear Emma,

We're sorry to hear about your disappointment.

The requirement for an Arlo Secure subscription to continue enjoying all features after the initial trial expires is stated both on the product packaging (in your case, on your Arlo Video Doorbell) and on our website. We're sorry that this wasn’t clear to you.

In addition to cloud recording, Arlo Secure provides access to several advanced features powered by our patented AI, designed to enhance security and give you greater peace of mind. These include advanced motion detection, cloud activity zones, and rich notifications with previews. With the newly introduced Early Warning System—available with an Arlo Secure Plus plan—you also receive person and vehicle recognition, as well as fire and custom detection. You can learn more about the benefits of Arlo Secure on our website: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/serviceplans

Additionally, if you pick an annual plan over a monthly one, you get 1 month for free!

If you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance, please feel free to contact our customer service:

1. Visit our support page: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support
2. Scroll down to the section labeled “Support Centre”
3. Log in to your Arlo account

Once logged in, select your preferred contact option. With an Arlo Secure subscription, or if your Arlo Video Doorbell is still under warranty, you have access to phone support available Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 17:00.

Best regards,
Arlo Europe Support
