PCMag's top pick and CNET-tested favorite for people who want flexibility. Offers 2K video, battery or hardwired power, and works with every major smart home platform.
The Arlo is the pick if you hate being locked into an ecosystem — it plays nice with Alexa, Google, and more, and you get genuinely sharp 2K footage without a mandatory subscription for basic use.
“Offering HD or 2K video, wireless or wired installation, robust third-party device support, and optional cloud storage for a small monthly fee, the second-gen Arlo Video Doorbell is supremely versatile, earning our top recommendation for most people.”
