Blink - Outdoor (3rd Gen) Wireless 1080p Security Camera with up to two-year battery life - Black

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.

I love the blinks ! Had to go back and purchase a couple more and a door bell. Captures everything and camera quality is excellent and clear when I watch it on my phone! Definitely recommend for everybody!

We purchased 3 Blink cameras and mounted them on posts with a small 'umbrella' above to protect the lens from precipitation. The camera sends us alert right to our phones. We were amazed at all the wild animals we have roaming our property

Super quick and easy to set up. Long last battery and clear pictures. Only one thing I don’t like is the waiting time for switching between cameras is too long.

great but not perfect. ive owned arlo 1st gen and these blow that away. battery life last longer and takes 2 aa lithium as opposed to 4 cr123 lithium batteries arlo takes. pictures are excellent. only downside is the 100 dollar a year subscription needed to remote view. i was hoping i could just use the 64 gigabyte thumbdrive to remote view but thats not the case. overall satisfied.

WORKS WELL. FOR THE PRICE. I JUST WISH THE NIGHT VISION WAS BETTER AND THAT IT WAS MADE TO WORK FINE WITH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. BECAUSE ONLY SUPPOSED TO USE LITHIUM IS REALLY EXPENSIVE IN THE LONG RUN. AND WHERE I LIVE EVEN WITH THE MOTION SET AT 6 the default setting. The batteries died out literally like in 8 days. That’s ridiculous. LAST 2 years IS LYING DONT BELIEVE THAT. IT DIDNT EVEN LAST 2 WEEKS.

These Blink XT’s are a no frills, easy to setup, and easy to use camera system. 1080p resolution looks great on the app, and battery power simplifies setup in areas without an electric socket. One thing to be aware of, since these are battery powered, you don’t get an always-on live feed, and there is a delay when you want to start a live feed, but when the system is armed, motion will automatically trigger the camera to record and you’ll receive a notification of the event via the app. Installed this system in a new location, and I’m able to seamlessly view both old and new locations using the same account in the Blink app without issue. Definitely would recommend these if you’re looking for something that’s simple to install and easy to use.

great price point the videos are picture perfect very resonalbe monthly subscription ( 1st month free) sound and distance of video is clear and i can speak thru it ..( aweome ) it gives me peice of mind knowing i always have an eye and ear there where i need it; i never miss anything.
