    It's great if you have a subscription. Ok without.

    I'll start with a TL;DR. This is worth it, video is clear, the speakers are amazing and you don't need a subscription, you just need a USB. Without it though, the system is a bit paralyzed. Performance-wise, I love these things because the video is good, and the audio from the speakers is really clear. I like messing with my dogs sometimes when they are outside and talking to them through it. The motion sensor is really good but I noticed that it's not accurate. After using it this whole time, I can say it detects about 80% of the time WITHOUT the subscription, which, I'm about to get into now. It feels like the detection with a subscription is a lot better and I think you lose person detection if you don't pay the subscription. Retrieval of clips is just a bit slower too, but not too bad that it will become annoying. You might wait 3 seconds more. I am using it without a subscription and I am still happy with it. I would score this higher, but the fact that person detection is a subscriber-only feature and that it feels like detections are not as good without a subscriptions makes me want to give it only 3 stars

    Good wireless outdoor camera that was easy to install. Though, at an even lower price range, the Wyze Cam v3 has better video quality, particularly at night. But the Wyze Cam v3 is “wired” and so requires a nearby power connection. And the Blink is more discrete. So if you are looking for an easy to install portable outdoor camera where night video is not important, I think the Blink is a good affordable choice that provides more flexibility on where you can install the camera.

    We had them for a couple of weeks and so far we are happy with them. We got outdoor ones to secure the perimeter of the house as well as indoor ones for the inside of the house and garage. The price was very good and the the quality seems to be pretty good too. So far we haven't had functionality issues llike we had with the Ring cameras we tried before these ones. We are happy with the purchase.

    System is efficient and easy to use. With the Totaltech membership, there was nothing for me to worry about. This was a return & repurchase due to one camera that needed to be replaced; that process was challenging because all 5 cameras had to be returned (which was not what I was originally told). So far there have been no issues, and we are happy with the how well everything works.

    The cameras work ok. The picture quality is good. Set up was easy but there is a control module that needs to be plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. This relays the Internet to the cameras, so there is a bit of lag between sending a command (such as Disarm) and having it executed. I got the pair on sale and that is what makes this a good buy.

    Decent price. Easy to install and setup. I even have them integrated with my Alexa so they start receding when I leave home. However, they’re not great at capturing actions in time. What I mean is, they seem to react too slowly. For example, is someone is walking by and that triggers the camera, I only get them waking out of frame. For a point of comparison, my ATT Digital Life camera records constantly but only saves when it detects something. And when it saves, it includes a few seconds before as well so that it captures a better representation of what happened.

    Generally the Blink app is easy to configure and the cameras work as advertised. Good quality video, adequate microphone and good speaker. Arranging these to work with Alexa can be a little tricky unless you already know how to program Alexa. Once you have your cameras up in the doorbells up and get it hooked up with Alexa you can watch real time at any camera on your Alexa echo show. Would recommend these cameras. I have had Arlo cameras in the past and definitely like the blink cameras better. The main reason I switched to Blink was to get the long life batteries. I haven’t had the system long enough to know how they will fare in the long run but so far I’m pleased with the battery drain.

    This is not a five start camera system and here is why. I'll start with the good. And that is the price. Five cameras for under $400 is very affordable. I like that I don't need to subscribe to any of Blink plans to review or record videos. I have the totaltech plan, so the installation was included at no additional cost. And watching how the technician installed the cameras seemed to be simple and straight forward. Now the negative. The cameras do not have enough mobility for positioning the cameras in the angle that is needed for good viewing. If the camera is placed directly on the wall surface up high, than you may encounter it's not enough viewing angle. I had to either lower the camera or add a an extesion to get the right angle, and I have a single story. The second disadvantage is the cameras don't have automatic live view updates when you open the app. I have a Kasa indoor camera and it automatically goes on live view when I open the app. That doesn't work with these cameras. You will need to click the video button to see live. These cameras are okay and they do their job for the price.

    This product is worth the price. Decent picture, easy set up, and small. The only drawback is that you eventually need a subscription.

    This is good for the price , works well and very easy to set up. You do not have to buy the plan to use so this is really good. You do loose some things when you don't get the plan. This is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars. I say if you buy the package of 3 or 5 leave one off for the first 30 days use after your 30 days are up. When you activate it you get another free 30 days.

    Finicky to set up and squeaky to watch

    It was a complete headache to setup. Getting the cameras to sync up was ridiculous. I had to remove batteries and replace them to get it to show anything on the app. And live view maybe lasted 10-15 seconds before shutting off. So by the time I wanted to check placement it had already cut off. The install outdoors was fine, but they just snap in place so there is nothing at all to keep them from being stolen very easily. The sync module seems to go out every few days and takes forever to come back up. The squeaking noise that comes from the camera when viewing is very annoying. I don't understand why it squeaks. I do have a decent view of the camera when live or viewing on the cloud. The motion detector is 10-20 min behind the motion notification on the app as well. I expected better from blink!

    Bought these as we wanted to have some extra eyes on the house for a better sense of security. After researching I came across these cameras and they are great. Easy to assemble, instructions were clear and connecting to our wifi was very simple. The cameras are very lightweight and the image is very sharp. It even has the microphone to speak thru and you can set up recording via your Amazon account if you have one. Definitely worth every penny. Glad i got them.

    Could be 5 stars if the camera would wake up quick enough to capture what triggered the alert. The capability of being able to use it almost anywhere is a good thing. The battery life seems very good. I've had one on my front porch for almost 2 years with it being triggered 5 to 6 times or more a day. 4 stars for slowness of waking up to capture event. 5 stars for ease of placement and use.
