https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Chifi-doorbell-broke-and-upgraded-to-Arlo-system-Having-problems/m-p/1814375#M79266 <P>Man these things blow. I thought I'd go whole hog and upgrade when my Chifi doorbell broke, but&nbsp; I thought the phrase was "you get what you paid for". I paid for security.<BR />I'm either doing something wrong or these cameras are absolute trash? Using an Android phone and here are all the problems I've had since putting these in:<BR />1. Mesh node base station its connected to keeps dropping. I've had this network stable for 6 months with the only downtime being cable/power outages<BR />2. Phone keeps dropping wifi when I get a notification - I will legit have to disconnect from wifi and reconnect to get it working again<BR />3. Multiple notifications for the same alert. If I swipe it away too fast it repeats it to me 2-3x<BR />4. Cannot dismiss doorbell notification I have to force close the app everytime<BR />5. No video when the doorbell rings. My $100 Chifi doorbell did this fine last 2 years why TF can't y'all<BR />6. Only the main user can answer the doorbell. 4 of us in the house, 3 iphones, 1 Android, and only 1 iphone can actually answer.<BR />7. What is up with the live camera delay??? It is 6-8 second long. Are there censors waiting with a button in the background? Are the network packets going around the globe twice before they hit my phone 1 ip address over on the local network? Ridiculous<BR /><BR />If I hadn't waited so long to install them they're be back out the door by now but I'm such with this trash</P> Tue, 16 Mar 2021 15:21:39 GMT Anonvocif 2021-03-16T15:21:39Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Chifi-doorbell-broke-and-upgraded-to-Arlo-system-Having-problems/m-p/1814375#M79266 <P>Man these things blow.
