Arlo Video door bell available at JB hifi for $ 149. This is $140 off
Seems like a pretty good deal for a well regarded door cam.
Only downside is subscription service required..
Night Vision - See who's at your door at night, even without a light on
Motion Detection and Alerts - Receive alerts when motion is detected
Weather-Resistant - Designed to withstand heat, cold, rain or sun
Video Call - Calls your phone directly so you never miss a visitor
pretty much same
the whole brand is moving in to subscription model, that's very unfortunate as they actually good cameras
Anyone have personal experience with these units?
Also no mention of smart home integration with Google or Alexa?!
I have Arlo cameras but subscription is killing it. If you don't take subscription, there will be unwanted notification on your phone.
Without subscription it is not worth it.
Why does this look like the camera bump on my Nokia 6.1?
i have been looking at some of these video doorbells on Alibaba. Not interested in paying subscription when I have my own NAS setup.
I was looking too, but in the end decided it wasn't worth the risk of having a $90 piece of garbage.
Then I was thinking of going Eufy, but then decided I don't get enough doorbell traffic to justify $250.
lol exactly!
What happens if you don't have a subscription?
I have the wireless version. Without subscription, it'll function purely as a video doorbell (no security camera functions). Which is fine by me, I've added it to my google home app and it uses all my google home/hubs as a chime + my phone for 2-way coms.
I'm still tossing up, looks like Amazon have matched …

Scratch that it says there is a $15 Coupon (it's a tick box) bringing it down to $134.
My decision is made !
im guessing this deal has expired, it's showing as $289
downside is subscription service required..
Stopped reading after that…..
Maybe put that in the very top? ;)
