You can get cheaper ones with seemingly similar features except one... this is the only one to currently offer the functionality for the doorbell to call your phone like a regular phone call. This seems like such a trivial feature, but from coming from other electronic doorbells which simply send a push notification (which easily go missed), coming through as a proper phone call means you are FAR less likely to miss a ring on the door. It's pretty bloody awesome!

I've wired mine up to trickle charge the battery so should hopefully never need charging manually.

If my existing doorbell transformer suppled enough V to use the wired only version, I would have gone with that as significantly cheaper. If yours does - go with that.

I had high hopes for this product. It works OK but is virtually useless without a subscription. It does not work with the homebase of our Arlo Pro 2 system. Even worse, I purchased the Arlo Chime 2 to go with this doorbell. That is another useless add-on! I had high hopes for this product. It works OK but is virtually useless without a subscription.

Was a little more fiddly to set up than expected; Seems an update was needed for it to talk to a Smart Hub, and the set up required scanning a very small QR inside the device which I don't recall being shown in their online videos. Installing the device beside the door was easy and it works very well; It will initiate a video call with your phone when someone presses the button and operate like a security camera the rest of the time. I have been happy with the results so far. If you already have Arlo cameras then I think its a no brainer to include one of these in your setup.

Easy to set up, and works a treat. Bonus is that our old Echo Dots are compatible so one at each end of the house give both an announcement and a chime. The only thing I haven't quite got sussed is getting the geofencing to work off two phones at once, but that is a minor inconvenience. Easy to set up, and works a treat.

This is a great addon to your Arlo cameras. PB tech have been amazing to deal with great communication and backup service second to none. This is a great addon to your Arlo cameras. PB tech have been amazing to deal with great communication and backup service second to none.

With almost daily courier deliveries its great to have the motion chime triggered even when a parcel is dropped off (and the doorbell not rung) enabling a quick retrieval.

Works well. Doesn’t need other components Works well. Doesn’t need other components

This is great when you have a large house or you are not at home, we get alot of courier parcels and its good to be able to talk to someone remotely or give permission to leave a parcel. The voicemail feature is great too, someone can leave you a message if you don't answer. You do need to buy the Arlo Chime if you want something other then your phone to notify you someone is pushing the doorbell though.

This wire-free doorbell is easy to set up and with a good quality image. It is convenient for homes that are empty most time of the day. This wire-free doorbell is easy to set up and with a good quality image. It is convenient for homes that are empty most time of the day.

This thing just straight up doesn't work properly. Wasted hours with Arlo support trying to work out why the device keeps disconnecting randomly but no fix or explanation has been found. Also the battery life is terrible, maybe 3-4 days use if you can even get it to stay online that long, which I couldn't. This thing just straight up doesn't work properly.

Does all they say it will, but you can only read a number plate if it's within about 7m after that it's too blurry to read. Otherwise very easy to install and setup.
