https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Video-Doorbell-Wire-Free/Wired-Doorbell-Wifi-or-Hub-What-are-the-benefits/m-p/1822855#M621 Are there any benefits of connecting the arlo wired doorbell to a smart hub vs directly to WiFi? Or are they exactly the same?<BR /><BR />I was wondering if connecting via a hub might solve the following issues:<BR /><BR />1) there is always a long delay when starting streaming (on nest hub or mobile app)<BR /><BR />2) Only one device can connect to live video stream at once. Means if multiple people in household get notified of a doorbell ring only 1 can see the stream<BR /><BR />3) streaming to Nest hub cannot be in high quality.<BR /><BR />If anyone knows the benefits that would be great.
