    Love these cameras for there ease and reliability. Easy to hook up on mounts and internet. Subscription is not needed. But its nice to have for my main camera. Subscription is for each camera which is why a gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. And remember, if you don’t have great wifi, you won’t have great connections.

    Easy to setup, easy to install. Quality is decent. You definitely get what you pay for compared to other manufacturers. Definitely not as quick as my ring cameras. All Blink things have a slight delay but they cover areas well and do great with motion detection. App isn’t the strongest or most pleasing to use either. It’s a good intro!

    Easy to install, day vision is great, night vision could be better but with a porch light on, the night vision works great. Alerts me on my phone when there is motion around my house. I feel safe. I have 5 cameras up now around my house, plan to purchase 2 more to the blink collection.

    Great quality as always with blink. The only thing I still don't like is the fact that it won't do continuous record/stream. I like to have my cameras rolling 24\7... So I can stare at them forn4 hours if need be. I know there are other options so I can achieve this. But nothing as portable, reliable and funcitaional as blink. Either way, I still recommend these cameras to everyone, I just give them a little disclaimer.

    Cameras are great. Setup is simple and easy. Video quality is quite good for the price. Only reason i wouldnt give this 5 stars is due to the distance these cameras will operate from the base.

    Overall pretty good especially for the price. Gets a good image, but you will have to work on the sensitivity. It picks up a lot of light changes as the sun moves, so I am interested to see how long the battery last. It doesn’t do super well with people with a darker skin complexion. Being able to use it without wiring is very nice!

    These cameras are awesome product! So easy to install. I finished in just 20 minutes. I put 1 camera to monitor front door and 1 camera at back door of my home. The app was friendly. I shared the app with my wife and she was up and running in 2 minutes with minimal effort. We are so happy with this wireless system. Hopefully the batteries will last for 2 years as advertised Will buy 2 more.

    These blink cameras work very well, my needs are pretty simple. They were very easy to set up and they are nice and small so they can mount just about anywhere. I have one at my back door and one at my front door. I set the sensitivity in the middle of the scale so nighttime animals won't set them off. Video quality is very good, even the night vision is of decent quality. Would recommend if you want a simple set up video camera.

    This new blink outdoor camera works great! It all depends on how you set your settings and the batteries can last 2 years but if you want more clear and longer motion detection and highest quality on the camera all the options unfortunately run the battery a lot more. So stalk up on some energizer lithium 1.5V. But as you read more and more used to settings and always call for any questions or help with blink and they will guide u and what to do whats best for the viewing you want. Blinks customer sevice is 24-7 hours a day and they will walk you through set up or any questions.

    Good value surveillance

    Good quality surveillance. Pros: records day and night, long clips if constant motion. Easy set up, free storage (to a certain extent). Cons: if in a high-traffic area can drain battery quickly. Lights show on camera when its recording so it makes it obvious. Can't put in a window because of glare (even with lights off because infrared reflects off window). But this is a good product with a modest price and gets the job done.

    I wasn't sure I was going to get this originally. Then the sales person at the store show me his phone and the video from it he had from his cameras. Plus it was extremely easy to set up so how could I resist? I've been using it for a couple of days now and I really like it. I wish the night vision was a little bit better but overall it's pretty good. The more you buy it once the better the price.

    Explendid device, love it. I have just what I need with it: No cables at all, alerts right to my cellphone, saves hundreds of clips for months in the cloud, keeps sending alerts while the intruder remains in range, no expensive record extra devices, no guy needed to install, battery lasts crazly long, can change cam locations all the times as needed (even to different house) indoors or outdoors so no one can spot them, the live two directions audio works as needed, mute alerts when needed, medium sensitivity even detects tiny birds and bees, smaller than my hand's palm, light, weather resistant, night vision (w/ quite good resolution), no need to pay monthly fees for 24/7 monitor companies, the app is easy to use, configure and gather other location's devices, share control with family through the app, AFFORDABLE SECURITY CAMERAS SYSTEM!

    Works great with long lasting battery. No subscription is needed and creates 10s recordings or as configured in the settings. You do need the Blink app to configure the sync module and the camera. Very easy to configure and setup to the home wifi. There needs to be a reasonable distance to the sync module. Sometimes it says the camera is offline if its too far from the sync module and the wifi connection is weak. Also the system would not work if the home wifi is down. Other than that the camera is very reliable.

    Good cameras for the price. Wireless is a plus along with the blink app which is easy to use. I have only had them for a month but overall very happy with the product. Pros: Price, Wireless, Easy of use and setup, Blink app. Cons: Video quality is okay, microphone not great. I am not sure on the battery life yet since I haven't had them long enough but a month so far and going strong.
