I replaced my Nest with this Arlo 2K video doorbell, and it's perfect for smart home beginners

Arlo's 2K Video Doorbell offers fantastic visual playback, a loud alarm, and customizability in all the ways you'd want it.

It offers one of the easiest setups you'll ever find for such a device, making it ideal for first-time smart home users. My wife and I switched from Ring to Nest doorbells about a year ago, and we haven't regretted the decision since. Should you pay more, the premium plan adds 30-day video cloud storage, people/package/vehicle detection, 24/7 emergency response, and other small but practical benefits.
