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.

Delightful experience

Very impressed with their customer services. I wanted to remove devices from an old account, the lady over the phone was very patient and helped me all the way, she even sent a check up email afterwards to make sure everything is working fine!

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

Arlo Doorbell Fails at Core Function - Formal Complaint Ignored


I have submitted a formal complaint regarding my Arlo doorbell, and have raised several cases, which suffers from a persistent 15+ second live-view delay that prevents real-time communication.

This device is a security and intercom tool. The delay means I cannot see or speak to visitors before they leave, making the product unfit for its intended purpose.

I have a fully documented support history including troubleshooting and network optimization:
• High-performance fiber connection (500/50 Mbps)
• Manual 2.4GHz channel assignment to eliminate interference

Despite emailing executive contacts, support team and setting a formal 7-day deadline, I received no response.

This is a serious failure to respond to a consumer complaint regarding a security device. I am still open to resolution, including a replacement unit capable of real-time performance or an alternative resolution.

Arlo, please confirm receipt and escalate this immediately. Ignoring this complaint is unacceptable for a product marketed as a reliable home security solution.

Dear customer,

We’re truly sorry to hear about the delay issues you’re experiencing with your Arlo Doorbell, as well as the difficulties you’ve encountered with our customer service, including the lack of timely responses. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

Along with ensuring a stable Wi‑Fi environment and a fast internet connection, it’s also important that the doorbell receives a strong Wi‑Fi signal. To help reduce delays, please make sure your Video Doorbell is positioned close enough to your router and that there are no major obstacles interfering with the signal.

To further review your interactions with our support team and escalate your case, we’ve sent you an information request here on Trustpilot. When responding, please include your full name, the email address linked to your Arlo account, and any existing case numbers. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to assisting you.
