The doorbell is fine and good quality but it is impossible to pare it to the supplied interior plug in bell. No matter how many times I have followed the online instructions it does not pare.

Of the 3 Pro 4 cameras only 1 still works
Of the 3 Pro 4 cameras I purchased in 2023, only 1 is working. The charging feature declines as they age. I bought a while system and they should have definitely lasted longer then 2 1/2 years for what you pay. Disappointed.

This doorbell used to work with Google
This doorbell used to work with Google, but no longer! There is no customer support unless you pay for a subscription. Just a chatbot that doesn't understand 'How can I connect to Google home?' The answer offered is 'would you like to connect to Amazon Alexa?'
If you have a Google based system DO NOT BUY ANY ARLO PRODUCT!
Mine is headed to the tip for recycling ♻️. Useless.
Update... automated reply sent below with the same old details of how to set this up... still doesn't work, and no useful customer support communication. As I have stated in this review: this USED to work. I did already set it up, but it stopped working and will no longer connect with Google home. I've cleared data, cache, deleted the device, reinstalled the app, reinstalled the device, and guess what. It STILL doesn't work!

A recent update on the app has killed…
A recent update on the app has killed my feeds so I can’t see recorded activity as the button on the interface is dead… that’s simply unacceptable and there’s no sign of them fixing it either and it’s been this way for many weeks and the most recent update yesterday STILL didn't fix it so what's going on and how can Arlo introduce an update that actually kills the video feeds but they dont realise it until it's been released?
this is completely amateur behaviour for a high tech US stock market listed company.
i've wasted so much time with this company i actually hate using their technology, they just cant stop interfering with changes and updates and changes and other things that inevitably end up breaking the product.
Google seems a much better option now.

Dear gg,
We understand the inconvenience this issue may cause. Our engineering team has identified the root cause, and a fix will be included in the next Arlo app update for iOS, version 6.41.0. In the meantime, as we mentioned in our previous reply, your locally stored recordings remain accessible by navigating to: Devices > SmartHub > SmartHub Settings > Storage Settings.
You can use this as a temporary workaround until the update is released. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Terrible customer service
Terrible customer service. My return arrived at the Arlo warehouse nearly 2 weeks ago but I have had zero correspondence from Arlo and no refund even after I’ve contacted them twice to try to get an update. Puts me off buying anything from them again.

Cameras; app; support all terrible
The cameras are poor. I was burgled and turned out arlo hasn’t been recording anything for over a month. Tried to contact support but only AI agent available which couldn’t understand even the most simple communication. Every part of this product - the hardware; the app; the performance; the support; is beyond poor. Can’t believe i spent good money on it. DO NOT BUY.

I’m very disappointed with the new app update, especially now that I’ve purchased a base station.
I’ve tried contacting Arlo UK several times, but no one answers the phone.
Could you please review the app and improve it? Accessing locally stored videos has become very confusing, and the whole local storage section is now a mess. It would be great if you could make it much easier to view and manage local recordings.

Customer service is excellent
Customer service is excellent. The products are excellent, however whilst they say you dont need to pay a subscription for each device because you can monitor it yourself they take away crucial notifications if you dont have a subscription. I dont pay a subscription and I cannot get a notification that says your alarm or Siren is sounding. You seem to get one notification sound so when it sounds it could be something or nothing. The notification doesn't say your front camera has detected movement, it just sends a short tone. My friends who pay subscriptions get more advanced notifications but they have one camera whereas I have 6 so I cant afford £35 aprox every month. I was led to believe that self monitoring works. It does in a fashion but since I got mine 7 yrs ago they have whittled away the service I get as a non subscription customer. Subscriptions are where the money is nowadays!!

Dear Nick,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us.
With an Arlo Secure plan, you can receive rich notifications that inform you when your Arlo device detects something specific, such as a person, animal, or vehicle. Without a plan, you can still receive standard push notifications when motion, or sound where supported, is detected.
You can learn more about our Smart notifications in this support article: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062927/what-are-arlo-s-advanced-motion-alerts-and-how-do-i-set-them-up-arlo-secure-4-0
If you only hear a notification tone but no notification appears on your mobile device, please check your phone’s settings and ensure that the Arlo Secure app has all the necessary notification permissions enabled. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
If this continues, please contact our customer service team so they can investigate further and assist you. You can reach the available support options through our support page: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support

Very difficult set up with new router
I had to revise the wireless set up for doorbell and chime when the router was replaced. What a terrible experience! Despite following the instructions on the app it took about a dozen attempts to set up the doorbell and then a similar number of attempts to set up the chime. It’s the 21st century, this should not be so difficult. The chime has not appeared on the app despite seeming to work. Confusing amd frustrating. I wouldn’t buy this system again.

Dear Scott,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand that you’ve experienced difficulties while setting up your Arlo devices after replacing your router.
There are several reasons why your Arlo Video Doorbell and Chime may initially have had difficulty connecting to your Wi-Fi. These could include insufficient upload speed or the devices being too far from your main router during setup.
If your Arlo Chime was successfully found by the app during setup and rings when someone presses your Video Doorbell, it should appear under the Devices tab in the Arlo Secure app.
However, if you're still experiencing any kind of challenges with your Arlo products, please contact our customer service. They’ll be happy to look into this and help you find a solution. You can reach them through our support page: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support

Zero support when products stopped working
I bought a lot of gear from them, two external cameras, a floodlight camera with solar charger, an internal camera and a doorbell. I contacted support through the website and tried calling when the floodlight stopped charging. No one has ever responded. Frustrated by the lack of response I bought a fixed charger and new battery. That didn’t work. So I now have a load of redundant gear and incurred more expense! Since then the doorbell has stopped holding charge for more than a few days even if charged to a 100%. The other cameras that still work need charging every week now when they used to hold the charge for well over a month. I’m assuming it is only a matter of time before they break as well which will leave me with only the internal camera. Terrible products and zero support. I would steer clear of this company.

Terrible service
Customer service are always very polite but twice I have renewed my plan and twice they have stopped the feed facility from working. The first time I rang up and they reinstated it while I was at home, but now I am in hospital for a few weeks and have no access to my doorbell feed which I am paying for. I spoke to a customer service agent and he said I have to be at home for them to reinstate the feed. I will not have access to the feed for a few weeks which is very inconvenient. The customer service agent knew exactly what the problem was but could not help me unless I was at home. This is not good enough - to lose my feed twice in a month is highly inconvenient. I pay for this service yet I am not getting it. Not good enough Arlo.
It is now a week later and despite giving the information you asked for, Arlo still have not resolved my issue. I sent another email but have heard nothing more from Arlo. I just want my feed restored, but nothing more has been done since I wrote the review which is very disappointing. I will always review a bad review if an issue is resolved, but in this case, nothing has changed so I stand by my 1-star review.

A subscription is indeed required to continue using advanced features with our newest products, including cloud recording, once the initial Arlo trial has expired. You should have received several reminders in the Arlo Secure app before the trial ended.
If your Arlo system was purchased through Verisure, you will need an active Verisure subscription to continue using cloud recording and other advanced features. If you're experiencing difficulties subscribing to or renewing a Verisure plan, please contact Verisure support here: https://www.verisure.co.uk/contact-customer-support
