    Nice little camera. If I were to buy another camera I’d probably go with a different one. Works ok

    Nice camera... easy to i stall and set up. Nice that the battwry us easily replacwd but too much motion recording will shortwn the life of the battery... Not sure by how much, but so far so good!

    Battery life is not very impressive but the camera quality is decent. Gives peace of mind without being a budget buster.

    I am very happy with the Blink 5 camera system. The setup takes awhile to get all cameras synched up to the module and update the firmware. The camera mounts are a little hard to snap together to attach to the camera, The video quality is very good, you have to adjust the sensitivity a little or else the camera wil pick up cars just driving by. I have had the system for almost a month now and it has the amout of cameras to cover all the areas I wanted to cover. Just purchased a 1 year Blink subscription. Very happy and feel safer that you can keep an eye on your home when you are gone. Even better I got it on sale !!

    With this being our first experience with home security so far so good. Storage space thru cloud is relatively cheap.

    I only use Blink cameras at my house and have bought 2 other 5 camera sets for Christmas presents for both my sons. Best Buy almost always has them on sale cheaper than any where else.

    Purchased this three pack to setup at my mother's house for peace of mind for both of us. Setup is fairly easy but does take some tweaking. I had to move the control box around to find the sweet spot in terms of signal strength to all the cameras. I also had to turn down the sensitivity, turn up the retrigger delay, and setup ignore zones because I was getting high usage warnings in the app because every gust of wind was moving something on each individual camera (ie. garden flags, potted plants, bushes/trees). Be forewarned, they have moved to a subscription model so there is an ongoing cost if you want all the functionality.

    Needed a camera system that had flexibility to move locations without spey too much time remounting. I can easily relocate cameras as needed to secure my home. Able to view thru my phone for peace of mind.

    The camera has worked well since my purchase in May. Wish the camera viewing did not time out. You need to press continue if you want to stay in viewing mode. However, it does work for my intended use.

    Great quality, slight wireless delay. SO much easier to set up the cameras I had at my old house. I installed 8 in about 2 hours, and that included deciding where to put them!

    Great for a small apartment. Not for a house...

    Not the greatest clarity. At $70 a piece, if you buy four of these you end up spending nearly as much as a DVR system. I'd say they're a good option if you're only buying one for a small apartment. That's about it.

    We are very happy with this system purchased at Best Buy. It's easy to use and easy to understand. The installers did a great job installing and instructing. I would recommend this system to anyone who is considering installing cameras around your home.

    I bought 2 new cameras to compliment my old 3 camera system. The "updated" model of these cameras require an online paid subscription which is over $120/yr or a usb synced to the module 24/7 and then taking the usb in syncing it to your computer in order to view clips. The cameras themselves are fine, it's just amazon's total downgrade in software. Before this purchase, I owned an older model of these cameras and sync module with built in cloud storage that didn't require a subscription or USB technique. Unfortunately these models are discontinued by amazon in favor of their current corporate money maker. I have never seen such a downgrade in software, but i'm not surprised. At this price point (~$100 a camera) accessibility should be mandated especially by a company like amazon. If i knew the old models would have been discontinued i would have stocked up. Will be returning these this week and just using my old 3 camera set up. Very disappointed with Amazon. Not sure why these are getting 4 and 5 star reviews unless they combined the two models into one product. If you can somehow find the old models I HIGHLY recommend them (5 stars easily), but due to the discontinuation this may be nearly impossible. Hopefully the next version of blink cameras will have build in cloud storage again, but i am extremely doubtful due to amazon's subscription plans.

    Does not work with Alexa.

    The big problem with this camera is that it has never (despite herculean efforts) worked with Alexa Echo as advertised. Echo support has tried to help, so perhaps the problem is with Alexa - mind you, Amazon owns both Blink and Alexa. However, can't find an Amazon human to discuss the issue with (after unsuccessfully trying online means). So frustrating.
