    Almost one month in. Set up was easy, downloading app, connecting to Alexa, etc. HOWEVER, BLINK really needs to rethink those cheap plastic pop-in hangers.... they stink. That was the worst of the install. Being on a ladder and having to apply pressure enough to pop it in without breaking it. Poor engineering. I still give it 5 stars because the cameras do what they should do. They have survived a month of monsoon rains, and I did go ahead and purchase silicon sleeves about a week after install just to attempt to stay ahead of the weather we have here. Purchased this along with a 5 pack as I needed a hub due to placing the cameras on different wi-fis.

    These cameras work great. They give a clear look whenever you want. I like that I can use from my phone or my Alexa. They are very easy to install and you don’t have to worry about a hardwire.

    Easy to Set-up, High Quality Security Cameras

    The Blink Outdoor camera is easy to install and set-up, a definite plus. Do yourself a favor and buy some aftermarket housings for these cameras. It helps further weatherproof the camera and makes mounting a little easier. Set-up was easy, using the phone app to link the cameras to the sync module and easily register the cameras. The phone app is pretty intuitive and has quite a few options. Keep in mind that there are compromises associated with having battery operated devices. Motion clips are a little short and it sometimes takes the camera a few seconds to recognize motion and start recording. I have found that to be a minor annoyance. Alexa integration is pretty good. You can actually tell Alexa to arm or disarm the system - pretty cool. You can also display video on your Echo Show if you have one. Overall, the Blink Outdoor set-up is good quality, but is a little constrained by the fact that it is battery operated. I like the fact that it is totally wireless, which makes installation a lot easier. If I had it to do over, I would probably buy these again - knowing the limitations of being battery operated.

    Not a fast response camera

    Ease of use and installation, no wires required and the batteries last very long. The only disappointment is the time of response when you access them in the app. It takes around 10 seconds to see the image. I just purchased a Ring doorbell and it is installed in the same house, using the same network and the response is a lot faster.

    I got very confused about live stream to save the video and the time live steaming for about. A minute and question about continue every minute its kind force to do subscription I had wize cam long time and the app allow to live stream for hours the internet interruption is the only thing stops the lige free streaming so its a very Pluss for a security camera have that option without have to click continue each minute because is free subscription

    Fairly Well Performance With Significant Issues

    I've always wanted these Blink cameras since they were released. Ordered these cameras for the back of my house. I was going out of town for a week and wanted to see my driveway and rear of the home while I was gone. Fairly easy setup. Fairly easy mounting procedure. The included wireless connection dongle did end up having to be moved to the rear door so the cams would connect to my internet. Overall the cameras did work fairly well watching over where I park and my back screened in area... during the day. At night it's another story. While the camera under the screened in porch worked fairly well, the camera overlooking my driveway gave me images of an extremely foggy night. Every night. I could not even see my vehicle 8 feet in front of it due to this fog that cam created. Trust me whomever was on my property had zero chance of being recognized with that camera. The included app worked fairly well as in I was able to see something on my screen that the camera was displaying - however it was laggy and timed out many times. It was definitely not as clear or as responsive as my Ring doorbell camera which caught thieves across the street at night enduring a rainstorm! The batteries lasted all month. In the end, I returned the cameras significantly disappointed in their performance. I believe these would work fairly well in indoor environments or to capture closer events during the day. I did order cams from that other abovementioned vendor which are working absolutely fantastic.

    The cams are not that bad. granted the Night vision could be a little better even after all the lighting and settings tweaking I did to make it to my liking, which is why I returned them, going with the Ring Stick up cams. They work great during the day! Clear image, audio could be a tad better but the sensitivity of the Mics is awesome.

    Good cameras for the discounted price. The app is great however I wish it was free. At least the 30 day trial you get per camera is nice. The quality is ok but not great does the work fine. Bought them to keep an eye on our house during international travel and they work great for it.

    Very pleased with these blink security cameras. Easy install and easy to adjust the angle the camera sees. The picture is clear in daylight or when there is no light. You can choose to be notified of filmed activity or put immediate notifications on hold. You can go to the app and see live footage at any time. I recommend this product for ease of use and set up.

    - Battery life is great- Month and half and still working great. - App is sometime laggy but not really an issue. - Easy to install and mount - Records the video when sensor detects movement but you HAVE to pay yearly/monthly subscription. Bestbuy associate told me no subscription but clearly he was lying.

    Easy setup, it Intergrated into my network effortlessly. Decent picture at night even. Good quality for the cost. If you don't want to spend a ton on a camera system this is a good one. Having to have a blink account for unlimited storage and no mass select for deleting older videos is a drawback.
