Blink - 1-cam Outdoor Wireless 1080p Camera Kit

I recently purchased these Blink wireless cameras. The picture quality is good during the daytime , and better than I expected at night. If you add a good motion sensor spotlight near the camera, The night videos, are drastically improved. The mounts for the cameras are much better than I expected when I installed them. The clip together attachment of the camera do the mount had me worries that the cameras would pop off with the first wind gust. I was wrong. The wind never lets up at my house and the cameras withstood the recent 50-60 mph gusts like a champ. I did have one problem with a couple of the cameras not detecting motion. I walked in front of the cameras several times during daylight hours and never got an activation. I checked the Wi-Fi signal and the signal was good, so that wasn’t the problem. Reset the cameras a couple of times and would occasionally get a motion detection. I really liked the cameras but I couldn’t trust the reliability of a couple of them. After a month I removed them and replaced them with another brand.

I got this to spy on what is under my house. (Discovered by these cameras that it is an opossum!) I got video of it... and the cat that got caught in our humane trap under there. SO FAR, I am really happy with Blink. Not happy it's part of AMAZON though. Don't believe the battery life though. To set it up to record at decent resolution, record longer clips, and other things takes battery. I hope to get a year from the included LI batteries. I also worry about the ease it is to remove the camera if you can reach it. It pops right on and off. DON'T pay full price! I got it for about 100 off!

Very good in daylight. Video excellent. Night vision fair with on board infrared. Ad just a little light and it’s a whole new experience. I have 4 Blink cameras- they all work very well! I would buy more!

Paid for itself within a month. We were able to call the police and caught 3 lowlifes trying to steal material from our job site! Video quality is very good. Wish I could share the video, looked like something from live PD

I like the cameras. They are very clear except for at night. I probably need to add more lighting to certain areas around the exterior of my house. Also wish they would make rotating cameras to capture more areas. But overall, I am very pleased.

I love these Blink cameras! They use AA Batteries that last up to 2 years, night vison, and two way audio. They are wireless, so you can place them anywhere on your property. No wiring needed... The wall mounts make them easy to snap in to place. I would definitely recommend!

I wanted to put in an easy outdoor camera system that was affordable. And this mult-camera system fit the bill when it was on sale! I have mixed emotions about the entire system. The devices themselves are great. But for every feature I like about the system, there is a system/application limitation that I don't like. The Good Very small cameras, each take 2 AA Lithium batters, and pair easily to the provided hub. They provide a mounthing bracket and an angle adapter to allow for a vertical and horizontal mount. Mounts are held in with a couple screws, and were easy to install. Image quality is pretty good. They have a wide angle of view, and allow you to hear and talk through the live stream. Local storage option (micro SD card) will allow you save your videos locally, and you don't have to have their subscription service. The timeline is pretty easy to use in the app, and it's easy to download videos if you want to save them. Oddly enough, the app blocks taking screen shots and I'm not sure why. Night vision is pretty good. It doesn't see very far on infrared, but, I suspect that is due to it being battery based, and they don't have a ton of IR transmitters on each unit. Motion clips can vary in length, but the app warns you about batterty life if you go much beyond the default. If it's a high traffic area. You probably want to keep them short for high-traffic areas, or plan to replace batteries more frequently. The Bad First, the mounts. Attaching the mount without the adapter was virtually impossible. The plastic was soo hard, and the tolerance was so tight that attaching just the mounting bracket was so hard, I am not sure I could do that when the mount was on the wall. Now, with the horizontal adapter attached, it was no problem at all. so I made sure I picked horizontal mouting locations. I understand previous versions had mounts that were too weak, so perhaps this pendulum swung too far the other way. Where a subscription is no required (yay), they do have application limiations that push you towards the subscriptions, like, when you run out of local storage, you have to delete the videos one by one. You cannot select multiple to delete. But you can with the cloud storage. :-| The biggest annoyance is that, where you can arm and disarm the entire system, or enable/disable individual cameras, there is no built-in capability to arm or disarm based on location, only based on a schedule. To do it, you have to use a 3rd party service called IFTTT, which seems like overkill. The subscription plan isn't horribly expensive, at $10/month or $100/year for an unlimited number of cameras and unlimited storage. That being said, it would be really nice if I could have just one subscription for all of my amazon-owned systems, including Bling and Ring. Or maybe if they rolled it into a Prime membership... or an add-on to Prime even. Summary In summary, the system as some pros and some cons, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it. My biggest goal was not to have to wire my house for cameras, and this system fits that goal really well. If you can wire everything up, there's probably better systems to use (Amcrest, Reolink, etc.). The biggest test will be to see how long I actually get out of battery life. My cameras range from low traffic to occasional traffic, to "higher" traffic, so, it will be interesting to see what the various battery life will be. Plus Winter is coming, which will probably affect battery performance as well.

I loved the excellent quality and high resolution that these cameras provide me. There's such clarity pictures even in snow, rain, colors in the skies. Simply gorgeous clarity in the videos they make. I like the way the clips of videos can be arranged by the owner. These are truly fantastic photos of nature or even people knocking on your door.
