Arlo Video Doorbell vs Ring Pro - Comparing Video & Audio Quality and Features
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ม.ค. 2020
- Today, we will be comparing the new release Arlo Video Doorbell and the older but tested Ring Video Doorbell Pro. We will compare the video and audio quality and also features that both of them have and also features that one has and the other doesn't.
I recently reviewed the Arlo Video Doorbell and this is one of the few products that Arlo released that works from the get go... Arlo has a tendency to release products that were not thoroughly tested in the past like their Arlo Ultra... but this one, is pretty decent and also has an affordable price point.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is a tested wired doorbell from Ring and the only Ring doorbell that I like. Ring's battery powered doorbells are not comparable to the Ring Pro. They have been out in the market for a while and my review video below is a bit outdated.

This review was AMAZING!! Thanks so much for all your time in making it and how detailed it was!!
Now that’s what I call a great review/ comparison. 👏🏾😌
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Amen
Dropped like on the comment simply because I agree with you bro but also since you’re a J Dilla fan as well. 🤙🏾
This has to be the best product review ever!! Thank you for being thorough
Wow, thank you!
Thank you SO much for making a video that an unknowledgeable person like me can understand. I LOVED your real- life tests. They were very informative!
A few minutes in the video I am already impressed with your review. Good job!
Nice job on the review. Thank you for putting this together - it was very helpful!
The best doorbell camera review yet, thank you!
You are welcome.
Thank you for the comparison, very well made!
Great job. I love how you don’t go on and on with nonsense dribble. I was undecided on which to get I’m glad you were here to help me.
Excellent review, all the info I needed.
Wow what a great review ; very thorough. I was undecided with these two doorbells but you have made me making a decision easier. Cheers
Best review I have ever seen. I've just moved and I'm still deciding on which one to purchase but if anyone bought anyone of these I'd be happy. Both are really 👍🏽good.
Thanks for the perfect review and covering all the details!
Thank you.
Great comparison. Thank you for the detailed review.
Wonderful and very thorough review! Very useful indeed. Thanks.
Lovely, super detailed, good comparison video!
Excellent and thorough review 👏 👌
Best side by side review of these products. Outstanding. Thank you
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Great job! Thank you for the detailed comparison!
Happy new year. Thanks for another great review.
Happy new year to you too..thank you.
Thank you very much for your review, just bought the Arlo at Costco, it has a 40 dollars discount. I wasn't sure how good it is compared with the ring.
Your review was excellent. Thanks.
Very much appreciated, so informative. You're awesome.
Excellent comparison review, very clear and to the relevant subjects
Thanks man for the awesome review!! Sold me on the arlo 😃
Nice job . Very technical and exactly what a buyer needs to know.
Excellent demo and review.
Thanks, I've had the Ring 2 for a couple of years and still works great..It's a new industry that will keep evolving..Can't wait for what's next..Enjoy 2020 !!
Thank you.
don't buy this crap. i'm putting my ring back
Ooohhhh yes....yes....I’m enjoying 2020 so far! Lol
My ring died at exactly 2 yr mark and they wouldnt replace. It also has a long processing delay on playback
Thank you for your helpful information. Good presentation and explanations.
Thank you for the information about the two different cameras. I'm pretty torn on which one to get but it has helped a bunch :).
This is a really good video! Thanks!!
Great review man glad I choose the Arlos
You really did a great job comparing these 2 doorbells now i can decide which one im gonna get thank you🤙
Which one did you get?
What did you ending up getting?
Amazing review!🎉
Congratulations excellent review buddy thanks a lot
No problem 👍
Great review!
Great review man. Getting a system for my home and can’t decide one vs the other. Still seems each has their pros/cons, but it definitely helped with decision making!!
Which one did u end up going wit?
I ended up getting Arlo but regret it...hate having to go return everything such a headache. I noticed it's very important when the motion detects when their walking towards the camera. Every sec counts don't like that I get a notification when their already in front of my door not when their walking towards my house. The Arlo flood camera same problem only turns on when I'm about 5 feet away from camera. I have controlled all the zones I wanted to be alerted seems to work well during the day not at night. Best buy recommendations was Arlo cause 4k camera but 4k couldn't read my license plate number such a headache....smh
Bruh! Thanks for an actual comparison!
Thank you for such a detailed comparison/review! You helped me with my decision!
Great comparison. Thank you.
You are welcome.
Excellent review.
Excellent. You helped me confirm my decision. Thank you so much!!
Which is?
Very thorough, thank you
Excellent side by side comparison of Arlo & Ring features.
Great video! Thank you!
nice, i am deciding on the 2. the arlo seems to have a slight delay in detection and connectivity. thanks for the video
Great video!
excellent review
Nice Video as always. I went with Arlo Doorbell, I was sold with better HD and wider view angle and siren.
Same here. Great choice I think! My trial just ran out literally 4 minutes ago so I'm gonna now subscribe. And yeah, the siren was a huge selling point to me for sure.
Love the arlo. Ive had it for 2-3 years. Great doorbell.
That was a great review! Thanks for this
Mr. Hackster, please consider doing a comparison/review of cheap small brand lesser known video door bells.
Thank you for all the reviews that you are doing, its helping people like me to make informed purchasing decisions.
What would you suggest for a battery powered video doorbell thats compatible with google home hub. It doesnt have to automatically show up like the nest, but the very least I could ask google to show me whose on the door. Thank you!
Eufy battery video doorbell works good with google hub..
I had Ring for the last 2 years I recently bought the Arlo Floodlight! and I’m impressed with the quality of their cameras and audio, This video helped to ti dump my Ring doorbell I’m switching for Arlo
I'm in the same boat I have the ring doorbell and just order 2 arlo floodlights but not sure if I will switch to arlo doorbell. I don't like that wire protruding out the bottom
@@jeanjacque1577 that is probably the only downside of the Arlo doorbell, but over all I like the quality of sound and image
Thank you. Well done.
Fantastic review, still can’t decide which to go for, I’ve just bought 4 alto ultra cameras so was thinking the arlo yo keep it on the same eco system however I want whichever is best, if you were buying one which would you buy?
Great and informative review! Thank you for the quality, honesty, and well put together video! Much appreciated!
Nice job. You seem truly legit doing that review. I liked it enough to want to purchase a couple of the ring pros in the color and style that you reviewed. Can you tell me the model and/or where I can purchase 2 of them?
Thanks Much!
RJ
Awesome video
Great video. Thanks! $50 off Arlo during Prime Days now.
Until I recently got some actual camera's I used Alfred Home Security as I have a few Android phones that I no longer use so I used that for a while as it was only $5 a month for the "Pro" type version. Actually worked pretty well. Have you tried any such apps?
Thanks for your great review videos. Do you have any review video for HomeKit Video Door bells such as the Netatmo Smart Video Door bell?
Not at this time. I have a feeling Arlo with integrate it with their video doorbell soon.
Always had issues with the Ring Pro being a bit slow when you open up the App. The Arlo seems to have a better audio. Comparison is very detailed. Thank you!
Came here because I already purchased Arlo Wireless Doorbell but was having second thoughts about my purchase, and was debating canceling for the Ring instead. I think I’ll stay with the Arlo especially since I already have the Arlo Spotlight, which is a good point you made, to stay with that ecosystem, so I don’t have to deal with a whole new app. Thank you for clearing this up for me, I feel much better!
You are welcome.
Thank you for this detailed comparison. I have a Ring camera at my front door and I’ve been disappointed with the three second delay in recording from when it senses motion. The recordings are sometimes the mailman suddenly there putting things in my mailbox, but if he didn’t have much, the video is just him walking away. So would it even record a quick moving package thief? I’m trying to find a security camera for my front door with good audio and visual quality and rapid response of recording after sensing motion. Also withstanding cold would be good. -5 F is not unusual and it gets much colder than that where I live.
Nice video, very informative. I have the blink 5 camera system, and not happy with them. In less then two years 3 cameras have died. The two that still work, one is inside and the other is the most exposed camera to the weather elements. Looking for a new system.
Very high quality video. 🍻
Thank you!
Awesome. Thanks.
How is the video and audio if the doorbell is on the side of the wall instead of in front of the door?
Nice high quality video. Which camera did you use for recording yourself?
Thanks..Sony A6400
Very good side by side comparison!!!!
Do you know if multiple family members may use the app for notification and monitoring?
Yeah the Arlo does. You can send a link to family members and that can monitor and get notifications too. Not sure about the Ring though.
My door frame is only 2 1/8" wide. Which one of these would fit widthwise and which one of these would ring your existing mechanical chime in the house?
Can there be a new comparison with both of the new versions? Arlo Essential 2K Doorbell and Ring Pro 2.
Can’t find any information if the 2K Arlo does 24/7 continuous recording wired.
Awesome review. Arlo it is.
Honestly this video was a really good, I’m going to go with arlo, my neighbor has it and I like that it can specify between packages people or animals
Great review, thanks. I think I was being swayed to the Arlo, but not being alexa compatible is pushing me to the Ring.
My neighbour has a sell doorbell and it’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen
To be honest with this review, I wasn't expecting a close tie(Especially because they're the same people that made the Arlo Pro 2 and the Arlo Pro.), But they did it, In both price and quality.
I've had my Arlo for about 1.5 years now and based off this review it would seem like Arlo is slightly better in some areas. I have noticed though, that the motion detection from more than about 10ft away is terrible. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not, I would definitely like to see Arlo improve on this because at about 35-45ft away, where one of my vehicles is parked. It almost never picks up motion.
The motion detection range is adjustable up to 16.4 feet on the wired version and 9.8 feet on the wireless or battery version. I think the Ring doorbells can do considerably more in the range department. I just researched it. The motion detection on the Ring is adjustable between 5 - 30 feet.
Great video, I wish you would comment on the battery life or wired status.
These are wired..no batteries
Would love to see a comparative test with the EZVIZ doorbell DB1, with the other best doorbell. Think they're getting a tough competitor.
I will need to test the DB1...
Is your Arlo Pro always in black and white when the porch lights are on (time 5:06), or was this just a fluke and during the recording of this video? I want to know if I will have the same problem if I buy it. What is the wattage rating of the porch light by the door bell and is it LED or incandescent? Thanks!
Yes, its light sensor didn't trigger color mode. My porch light is LED 75 watts equivalent at that time.
Curious about the new August video doorbell. I heard there were software/firmware issues with it last year, but it's since been updated, but not many people are doing reviews on it post update.
Nice review. very informative. I'm a current Ring pro plus subscriber but my Ring Pro 2 has been problematic since I got it 2 years ago. Very slow to open video and connection problems. Replaced the camera and even change my ISP. Also I cant get a live feed after the button is pushed. The whole camera has been replaced once as well and the part that install in the doorbell. This is why I'm considering the Arlo. I don't have any other Ring cameras anymore, just the alarm which I plan to keep. Have you experienced any issues with connection delay over LTE, especially after the button is pushed? Thanks
Get eero mesh wifi
And rapid ring app
@UCwM7-isDYyhYB6GXlvYwjGw The ring app is a piece of shit and so is ring fast app
I have arlo doorbell and I love so far
Don’t forget to revisit the eufy doorbell!
I will..pretty soon..
Thanks🎉
I have a Ring doorbell pro but it has never worked properly: it stops showing the notifications sometimes during the late morning and it resumes working for a couple of hours in the afternoon. The events however continue being recorded. Often I have to reset my cell phone, or reset the app on my cell phone to "awake" the notifications. I had the Geek Squad come over to assess the problem. They found no problem with the Ring doorbell itself (they gave me a new one in hope it would fix the problem, it did not work). I do not have problems with my wi-fi (other devices in the house work great). The Geek people and the Ring doorbell people think the problem is with my Galaxy A50, but no one is sure about it. What do you think? Is there a phone that work better than others? Could it be the phone carrier? I have T-Mobile, but I am not impressed: often my calls drop...
I installed my wireless Arlo doorbell and it’s video and mic quality is very good and the app is easy to use but the only problem I have is that when it detects a person walking to your door it’s delayed so once you open it they are already at your door and it takes a couple seconds for the app to open to see who it is. But the quality and the way it can detect animals, packages, people, and vehicles is a nice feature
I had the same problem You can set the zone where it can see them walking up to it
i have had both ring and arlo. i currently still have both the ring spotlight cam and arlo spotlight cam on my garage. the picture is better on the arlo especially at night. the problem is the delay with arlo. this review is correct. i find several seconds difference between the two and the ring is much faster. it doesn't seem like much but in real time, real life, its annoying enough for me to be switching back to ring. The arlo notification delay is what has driven me to start watching these reviews to see if it was just mine. It is disappointing because I do prefer the picture, battery life and design of the arlo over the ring. But that delay may be a deal breaker.
Is it actually lit up at night or it films in the dark? What is that noise it kept making when you walked up to it
Where did I get those lights from behind U, on the wall, when ur recording?
Nano leafs..at Amazon.
Is this a review of former Arlo and/or Amazon product? The Alexa site says that the doorbell product they offer IS compatible with devises such as Alexa Echo.
@LifeHackster - I'm a big fan and love all your smart product review & comparison videos. I'm in the market for a high resolution (more than 1080p) outdoor wireless camera with free (or reasonable $) cloud storage (pre & post triggered activity) that would integrate with my Smartthings ecosystem. Any suggestions? Any upcoming release i should look out for in 2020? TIA.
The only wireless camera right now that records more than 1080p are the Arlos...but I’m really hoping other camera companies will be introducing 2K and 4k wireless cameras soon.
What's the battery life like on these both
Well done you covered it well I now would like to know what I require as I have now moved to a town house and I need just 1 camera at the front and one at the back as given the wideness view I shouldn't need more but I will need a miniature but I think that I won't need a base stati okn but 2 solar chargers how this works with all three etc .
Appreciate it
I got 2 Ring cameras in Dec 2018 (Floodlight and the doorbell Pro 2) and love them. I wonder how Arlo does integrating with Smartthings? With my Ring cams I can use the motion sensor in ST to trigger routines.
I’m not sure with Arlo and smart things..
I was wondering the same.. I have smart things too
@@OfficiallyTonyGianni Arlo doorbell shall be compatible with Samsung Smart Things now, correct?
@@mohamedfawzy5453 I don’t know.. I decided against arlo. I went with Blink Wireless and Blink mini. Off Amazon
They are compatibility. Excellently video and audio quality
Hello! Thank you for the review! Can you clarify the monthly pricing for both if you just have the doorbell.
Does Arlo provide existing doorbell customers any type of break when a newer version becomes avail?
Hi LifeHackster, have you heard of Ring or any other door bell going to 4k video? I went to the store to buy my Ring 2 doorbell and I saw that this dedicated camera system that also had the features of the doorbells was 4k, however for like their eight camera set iot was $500. Kind of a pain being in the apartment scene but lest, the technology is nice. My Ring2 has horrible video clarity when people are around.
What ring did you have before ?
