Q: Does this come with a module?
A: We do ship each Blink System/Kit with the sync module needed to operate the cameras.
A: Our family is in the same situation. There are four of us who want to monitor my mother at home. But there's no convenient way to do it because you cannot turn OFF 2-factor authentication. So if my sister wants to log in, I get a 6-digit code on MY phone that I have to send to her for her to login? That's such short-sighted thinking on Amazon's part. We will probably go with another service.
A: I have a system setup in Mexico. I am now trying to setup 3 camera's in the United States. Can you tell me how to do that because the unit tells me I must change the wifi passcode. If I do that, I afraid it will disconnect my Mexico cameras.
A: I was not able to even locate the camera 20 feet from the wifi router and sync unit. I could not have a camera in both my front and back yard. I had to place the one outdoor camera right outside the window nearest the room with the wifi router.
Q: Do they come with mounting brackets?
A: The cameras come with both brackets and screws. I did not want to screw into my vinyl siding so I put velcro on the house and the back of the bracket to attach to the house.
A: The answer below is incorrect. You need to arm the whole system. Once armed you can touch the "running man" icon above each camera to turn off motion detection. hth.
A: The Blink cameras have a field of view of 110 degrees - in the daytime, they provide enough visibility to identify an individual’s facial features that is 20ft away, recognize a person that is 32ft away, and beyond that depends on exact lighting conditions. At night, they provide visibility up to 20ft away depending on exact conditions.
Q: Do these run with internet or can they work without?
A: You need internet and a router for these. You can use a baby monitor as a security cam without internet, but it won't send it to your phone. I do use a baby monitor to keep an eye on my car at night. The camera just looks out the window. I recently became aware of the security cam phenomena, after our place was broken into. I now have a number of the blink minis, and they are a total game changer. I can be anywhere; pull out my phone, and look at the front yard, front door, driveway, back door, etc. It's crazy how well it works. My phone will "ping", and i'll look at the blink app, and there is the neighbor's dog walking across the yard! It's worth it to get internet and wifi just for these.

Perfect little entry level security system. Easy to install. Easy to connect. If you plan on storing any of your recordings, Blink offers a plan for $100 a year. The system set up is so easy, I am confident that those who are even technologically challenged can set up the system. Installation is a breeze. The base connects to a surface with two screws and the camera pops right onto the base. I cannot comment on the battery life, for the first month it worked just as you'd expect it to, I easily purchased power cords for mine off of Amazon - if you choose to go this route, take the cameras design into consideration, with the power cord plugged in, it is difficult to tilt the camera downward and Blink has removed the option from their APP to "Flip" the camera if you have to mount it upside-down. So if you are placing it up high and want to run a cord to it, remember this for mounting. If you're just running the battery, you'll have no issue at all. If you're wondering about the range, I have a camera mounted on the exterior second floor of my house, and there are zero issues with recording motion. I also have another camera mounted in a tree adjacent to my front porch, its proximity from the Wifi and the Sync Module is approximately 25ft. One more thing of note, the night video is recorded in black and white, which can cause things like faces to be washed out if they are closer to the camera, if you'd like color night time video, pair this with a dusk to dawn light.

Worth the price
Work great and easy to install. Picture is clear. IR at night isn’t the best but it’s not the worst either. Well worth the investment. Can even talk to the people through the camera speaker. No fee for video cloud storage like other cameras have. Battery life is pretty good once you get the camera sensitivity and other parameters set to what best suits you. I have 8 camera on multiple angles at each corner of the house.

A decent system - Biggest plus is ease of install
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.
