My main reason for giving them 1 star is because I bought the video doorbell and when my free trial ended it just told me motion on the doorbell vs vehicle, person, or animal which I was fine with. Tonight I saw a neighbors cat get attacked by a dog from across the street. I thought maybe I can check my doorbell to see if I could get more information about the dog and maybe verify which cat was attacked if the cat caused the doorbell to activate, because when I pulled in they were off camera at that time. After I chased the dog away I lost track of the cat, so I could not tell him which cat because it happened so fast, assuming the cat would have activated my camera. I could not do that because I do not pay, so it did not save the video, if there was video, to the cloud for 7 days because of that. The regular arlo cameras get saved for a week, but not the doorbell. So I paid about $150 for a doorbell to tell me there is motion, but not record anything unless I pay a monthly fee!! I do not know if the other companies using video doorbells charge or not, but I would think at least record but do not tell me if it is an animal, person, or vehicle unless I look at the video. I would not have a problem with them charging and granting 30 days for the doorbell camera and telling me who or what is causing the camera to operate, but unless I am watching I will not know who or what caused the camera to activate.
