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 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.

Good hardware but very expensive subscription costs each month and what you get for that cost is minimal compared to cheaper products out there

Good hardware but subscriptions and the most expensive out there. You can even download footage and have to use your own third party app to do this. Arlo need to look at the rest of the home cctv market and understand what you can and more for less cost. Netgear need to wake up.

I have been having a series of problems with doorbell and camera not working. I have spent a lot if tome on the phone, chatbot but never completely solved the problems. The last try ended with them connecting me with Kamal - who I know is in the US, (he previously told me he could not help me), and asked for my card details. As I am paying £50+ a month, I think my support should be covered by that. Impossible! I am thinking i need to leave them. I want a technician to come and reset my system, but they are not interested.

Arlo is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. 2 months to deal with an issue and still not. resolved.
The use a call centre in Morocco called Diablo, who have very little knowledge and absolutely no decision-making ability. I now assume Arlo the company is 1 guy sitting in the back of his parents' house; this is certainly not a real company. I have contacted Amazon about them and asked them to stop stocking Arlo.

Really Annoyed. Live view lost !!

I have 3 cameras situated in my unmanned workshop 30 miles away. Live view has stopped and needs a firmware update. I have tried to do this remotely and each time (taking 5mins) it fails to do this. I have to travel 30 miles to reset and update the hub and cameras. Its a joke and very expensive too....

Hi Steve,

We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered while updating the firmware on your Arlo cameras, and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused.

Firmware update issues can sometimes occur due to a low upload speed, which may prevent the update from completing successfully. A weak Wi‑Fi signal can also contribute to this issue. This may be caused by excessive distance from the router, physical obstacles, or strong Wi‑Fi interference in the area.

You can run a speed test of your Internet connection here: https://www.speedtest.net/
