Blink - Smart Wifi Video Doorbell – Wired/Battery Operated with Sync Module 2 - Black

I reside in a four family apartment building, we have never had any issues with missing packages. However, we have had issue's with a few trespassers within the hallways and i had to escort them out. For this reason i made the purchase of this door bell, which acts as a camera when someone passes by its set to automatically record untill all movement has ceased. The instructions are clear, simple and i had it set up and working within twenty minutes or less. I love the wide angle on the doorbell, it really does a great job at catching all the details nice and clear. If someone is hanging around where they shouldn't you can speak to them through the speaker on the unit itself, it works clear enough for the person on the other end to make out what your saying. The notifications are communicated instantly to your cell phone once the motion sensor detects movement. The doorbell has two methods of instructions it can either run on two AA batteries or you can permanently install the unit using your doorbell wiring, but you may have to upgrade your transformer to one with a higher voltage so the camera works as efficiently as it can. I know this because i had to perform the upgrade for a friend who had issues with his unit not working properly untill the upgrade was made. Its not too difficult but some electrical comprehension helps or you can just turn to youtube. Well i guess that wraps it up, you get about two weeks or so before your trial period ends and you have to subscribe in order to keep your history and other options going. Would i personally purchase this unit again? Yes, without a doubt! We have children on the premises and we need to make it safe for everyone!

Night vision works good, a little bit of a glare. Other than that, everything is perfect on it. I put it up and less than a week later caught someone trying to break into my house… I’m so thankful for this camera. It makes me feel safer and secure. I have the door bell camera and the inside cameras. The monthly payment to save videos is $10 a month which is not bad at all! I would highly recommend, I told all of my neighbors they should get these cameras. Super easy to set up, they have step by step along the way, and if you can’t seem to get it set up right away the app has that covered and helps with extra steps on that too. You can watch live video (which saved the video you watch), and talk through the door bell as well. If you have other cameras you can set up the door bell chime though the other cameras too. I have mine set up that way so when someone rings the door bell I can hear it throughout my house.

I really like this doorbell camera with sync module. Most importantly, with the sync module, the videos are stored locally, not in the cloud, so you do not require a paid cloud subscription. (A paid subscription offers some additional cloud features, but the basic features of doorbell, motion detection, recording, and operation through your phone all work without the paid subscription.) The default motion detection works perfectly for me, only triggering with foreground motion. I have had no spurious triggers. Also, I needed battery operation due to difficulties running a power line to the doorbell, and this unit uses two easily replaceable lithium AA batteries. I bought four rechargeable batteries for under $20, with two in the unit, and two ready to go, for a really fast and simple exchange. Audio is loud and clear both ways, and surprisingly, the doorbell has a loud, pleasant chime sound when pressed, and while I could have Alexa repeat that inside, I can hear the outside unit fine, and the phone app also triggers a notification. The video resolution (1080) is clear and sufficient for recognizing who's there. Overall I'm very happy with it.
