hat took me 15 minutes. It has taken me considerably longer to set up my Arlo wireless Doorbell. Very difficult when Arlo sends AI generated responses to my inquiries for set -up and there isn't any one that is willing or able to help troubleshoot upon request. Once finally set up. Works Wonderfully! Clear picture. Great sound. Good product. I am glad that I added it to my Arlo security family. Wish the literature came with the product so I didn't have to contact the company. That was the only thing missing.

2. Often time, the images aren't stable; blurry, or skipped and you can't see what's the details of the images. The Arlo "4K" is a joke. It only can record on the slow objects and barely see the clear people's face or car's license plate. For the normal speed object passing by, you will not be able to see anything clearly even what kind of car.
3. Storage can be stored in the local USB flash drive, but each time, when you want to see the image; you will have to download it and the download speed depends on your wifi network. Otherwise, you will have to pay monthly subscription fee. I have raised download issue when store the images in local USB flash drive since August of 2021 and so far, it's not resolved or nothing is fixed.
4. If for some reason, one of the cameras got disconnected, you will have to re-sync with the base station. Also, it depends on where the cameras were installed. You will have to get a ladder to get each of them to re-sync. It's a huge hassle.
5. Tech support has no phone # support since Sept of 2021. All the support has to go through Arlo app and there's no way to hold any support team. Plus, the support folks are very slow to response to your questions and oftentimes the reply isn't relevant. You are going to spend a lot of time on your questions. You will be told there are someone will call you back or reply back. But you don't know when it's going to be.
6. Spot light is useless. It's too weak. It's even worse than the night vision on the infrared light image.
7. Motion detection is very slow sometimes. When a car of person passing by, Oftentime it only catches the last a couple of seconds and most of the time; camera has no reaction even a "zone" area was defined.
Not really the companies fault, but the wires for my doorbell were quite short. Wanted to use the wire nuts and extenders, but there was no where to tuck them out of the way and not enough room to still fit the doorbell on the mount. Took quite a while to figure out how to get the short wires onto the doorbell and still be able to tighten the screws and slide the doorbell into place.
Once I finally got everything mounted, setup went smoothly with my existing base station and arlo cameras. The picture quality is good, and I love the “silent” mode so my dogs don’t go nuts
Note: It may be difficult to install the doorbell on horizontal siding. I had a friend use his 3D printer to make a special mount that works with my siding. We are making a smaller version to replace the one you see in the photo. The new mount will be mostly hidden behind the doorbell.
