Blink - Video Doorbell - Head-to-toe HD view, two-year battery, simple setup, Sync Module Core included - White

Good little camera. Field of view is adequate and motion sensing is nice. Being able to tell me the difference between person, car, or animal is nice but gives a bit of a creepy vibe since Blink, like Ring, is owned by Amazon and may cooperate the Flock company and/or ICE.

I bought this as my first smart doorbell and was satisfied, but started second guessing myself when I noticed other brands bragging about how superior their 2k video quality was or how their AI scene description was revolutionary, so I decided to try the Arlo instead. I immediately regretted that decision. And because I wanted to maximize the battery life I hardwired the Arlo, which is the only reason it lasted a few weeks before switching back to the blink. My main problem with the Arlo camera was that it did not start to capture the movement until the person was almost gone, since im in an apartment and its capturing a hallway. This isn’t an issue with this Blink camera which captures motion the moment someone enters into frame. I only ever saw the back of people’s heads with the Arlo. Wireless made it so easy to put up and take down and I’ll just use rechargeable batteries moving forward. Finally, when the trial of the subscription service for Arlo expired I truly gained appreciation for the fact that this Blink camera lets me record on an SD card. Who needs another monthly payment that ends up costing more than the product? This way feels a lot better for privacy reasons too.

I love it it’s small and easy to put together. The basic subscription is $3.99 but for the free month membership it did really good. The bell works good and it grasps motion from a pretty far distance.

It works really well along my echo show 15 and amazons fire tvs all I have to do is ask to show the feed and it broadcasts it onto the screens and I even have it programmed via Alexa app to send a chime to all my Alexa speakers and broadcast to the show 15 for 20 seconds so I can see who it is I give it a 10 out of 10 and the subscription is optional and if you do decide to get it, it’s half of what ring costs which is nice I try and get all cameras as blink because it’s cost effective and reliable

I like that i can wire it to my actual door bell I don’t like that it’s not more secure to prevent theft I use it at my front door as a door bell for the most part my whole home security is blink products & I definitely recommend not just this product by blink, but mostly all blink products
