    I like these little guys. They are easy to mount. The batteries have a good life time, they have a quality picture, sound, and microphone/speaker. Cost-effective to monitor somewhere where you have Wi-Fi existing.

    Great lil camera from amazon. I think still worth it if you have to pay for the cloud service but not totally necessary since the main unit has a usb port to save videos to a usb stick. The 2 way talking for this camera is based off how good your network is at home (and if your cellphone is fast enough) since there can be a lot of lag time to speak vs hear a response, so keep in mind there could be a big delay The battery life varies but you can play around with video quality and clip duration to save battery life (slightly). I was very pleasd to see a good deal on bestbuy's website.

    Love this camera. Very easy to put up right out of the box. Download the app, Put the batteries in, add the camera to the system and wifi, put it up and that is it. Working perfectly. No wires so you can put it anywhere. I bought these for another home and batteries are still going strong after one year.

    These Blink wireless cameras are the best out there for the price, a breeze to install and hook up. Very good picture and video quality. There are better systems out there but not in this price range and the 2 year battery life can't be beat. Very happy with the purchase.

    The Blink camera system is probably the easiest, most affordable and convenient camera system that you can buy. All you need is the included sync module, batteries and your wifi to have your own security system that gives you alerts on your phone when you're away from home.

    Best alternative to RING

    I have a ring video doorbell and I pay $3 monthly for the subscription. I was on the fence about purchasing the ring doorbell cameras. While the ecosystem and having everything in one app was a big plus, I ultimately decided to go with the blink cameras. The battery life, ease of use, local storage, and lower price were just too good to pass. Having a usb plugged in to a sync module is just amazing. You don't have to worry about adding another subscription. The resolution is not 4k but the video quality is great. I will be purchasing more add on cameras in the coming months.

    Blink system is a keeper

    Formerly used canary to monitor my home which worked great for about a year then had all kinds of issues and malfunctions. Been using Blink for about 4 months. Easy to set up and can set or mount them anywhere. Extremely light and unassuming. Registers temp and sound as well as a very clear picture. Also allows two way communication. Can arm and disarm based on your schedule. Battery operated so need to plug in. Supposedly the batteries last for approximately 2 years which is pretty good but likely depends on how many pictures they take. Only small complaint is I get sound feedback when I do listen in on a unit which is not that bad since rarely have need for that. A little expensive for what it is but the system works.

    Camera is excellent in the day. Night vision is pretty good but grainy. Adding a motion light really helps the night camera quality. Easy set up, Overall very pleased .

    Blink (5 pack)

    I am very happy that I purchased this set of security cameras for around my home. They have been up since the latter part of May, so that's been plenty enough time to give a fair and accurate review. I am impressed to say the least. The cameras were easy to install (the only things not provided for the installation were the only 2 items that couldn't be included, the drill and ladder - everything else was in the box neatly arranged and packed very well) from start to finish, including downloading the app to monitor them from your smart phone. The quality of the videos (live mode, recordings, & still pictures) are very clear & the range of view (side to side, I can't think of the correct term for what I'm trying to say) each camera captures is very wide, in my opinion, giving me the coverage that I needed & wanted. Also, all of the settings are set to the recommended options, except 2; I did have to lower the sensitivity of motion on 2 of them bc a bee flying & wind blowing a tree kept setting them off back to back and to start recording sooner than motion at 5 seconds in due to a slight delay in real time vs recording time. The sound is clear as well. I got the 5 pack bc 3 wasn't enough & there isn't or wasn't a 4 pack option at the time of my purchase. They look just as good, if not better, as the more expensive named brands on the market. I did alot of research on a few different brands to ensure I made the best decision when it came time to actually purchase them. They offer every option available in 1 package deal (weather resistant, motion, red light when recording (your choice on when to record and when not to; record only when motion is detected or continously records), the ability to speak through them, good quality product, I think the only brand that gives you free subscription to try out for 30 days before signing up & not a requirement to purchase either (you can plug a flash drive right into the sync box if you prefer). The subscription is very affordable if you chose that option. I could go on and on raving about these cameras. Again, I am impressed and if I decide down the line that I wanted to add additional cameras, these will be what I will purchase again. If you are shopping around for your new or next set of security cameras, make sure to look into this brand, Blink.

    I really like these security cameras. No subscription necessary, unless you want more features. Great from my yard as a trail camera too, as the wildlife comes close to my house. This is what suits me and was very easy to install.
