Arlo - Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wired (AVD1001)

Been happy with mine. Even bought a refurb from Amazon. It is in the shade most of the day and have a beefier transformer as well. Replaced an Arlo wired.

I have the Arlo Essential Doorbell and it works with apple Home kit . It doesnt support home secure video but allows you to stream from apple devices such as your Apple TV. I am also on the look out for a battery operated front door bell that can be work with apple home kit but is also platform agnostic as well . I could try Aqara G410 , however , I would like to hear feedback on the unit. The reason for shifting the Arlo is because I am moving away from the subscription model which Arlo charges monthly/yearly.

All Google Assistant doorbells do this. Open Google Home app, go to live view for the doorbell, ‘…’ icon top right, Settings, then turn on Voice Announcements. It explains exactly what what this option does on that page, which is produce visitor announcements on GA speakers which of course includes the Google Home Mini. Not really sure what the point of “proving” this is but here are some screenshots of this setting for the Reolink doorbell. It works exactly as OP wants, ie chime on a Google Home Mini when the doorbell button is pressed. https://preview.redd.it/ljjk8i5ddp8e1.jpeg?width=2358&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7adfd732599ad20e40fb70566a177af3b821aac0 I also have Arlo and Aosu doorbells on other properties which work in exactly the same way, also chiming to one or more Google Home Minis. This has worked for many years.

I don’t know a thing about Eufy. I’ve been using an Arlo doorbell camera for about four years, and three of their outdoor cameras for seven or eight…and I just bought three more. I’ve been very happy with them.

I moved from Arlo to ring because I had a ring alarm and wanted it all in one system. Ring has really been great for me. And nice it’s all in one subscription. I enjoyed Arlo but they kept raising prices and losing features. To answer your question, it’s probably the easiest solution that will usually just work without issues. Eufy is a contender but I think there’s still privacy concerns there with them.

Have Aqara, very good and very happy. Previously had Google Nest and Arlo. Nest was kind a good but lacked connecting to Apple Home, Arlo - totally sucked

Not Arlo. They’re useless without the Arlo subscription, and they keep increasing the price and decreasing what is covered.
