    I mounted this camera on a car port about 50 feet from my wireless access point and it connected perfectly. It has a decent field of view and I now have warning when anyone comes down my driveway. I'm experimenting with the sensitivity as even squirrels running past the camera can sent it off. There's a feature where you can turn off portions of the camera's field of view to reduce alerts. With the low price, it's a great entry camera to explore security cameras. I doubt I'll need to buy anything more expensive.

    These cameras were easy enough to install but getting them to be consistently connected to the internet is so frustrating. Live view works sometimes. I made sure they had a good connection to the internet by purchasing a WiFi extender and they still won’t stay connected. I have it set to record motion and when I look at the recording, there is nothing. The view at night is bad too. Very frustrating. I’m so disappointed in this product. I wish I would have read the reviews on Amazon.

    Pretty decent camera. Works better with the subscription. I don't like that you can't continously stream the live view, but being battery operated i get it. I do however, like that you can plug it in to an ac adapter and not have to worry about the batteries(still no continuous stream) because if you have the motion set to very sensitive it'll drain faster. That and if you record high quality. Images are great, you can download clips and transfer to a computer. Great camera for the price

    Wifi Camera

    The wireless cameras work as stated with one exception. I am unable to place them both in front and back yard despite the locations being within the 100ft. limit of the wifi router and sync module. The app is easy to use but the speed of the internet definitely affects access to the camera. It takes about 10 seconds to get the live view and you cannot quickly go from one camera to the other. I like the temperature feature and the ability to set the night vision (IR) sensitivity because if the camera is close to a surface like a wall or counter top the night vision can be affected. This is my first time using any security camera devices so I am interested to see how this type product improves as technology advances.

    Security

    My husband loves these cameras, a sense of security. It notifies you on the phone, you can communicate with anyone in view of the camera if you’re not home. You can block off certain areas of the yard, if you are like me with holiday flags on your house. So it won’t activate sensor when the wind blows. Really easy to install with two screws for each camera. Smart purchase

    Blink 3-Cam Outdoor Wireless Camera Kit

    Bought these for simplicity of installation, features, and best bang for the buck. These little cameras deliver on all accounts. Have had no problems whatsoever since installing. there is a few seconds of latency between actual motion and time of delivery, but enough time to capture whatever triggered the cams. Can set up privacy zones to not invade neighbor privacy, as well as set up basic and advanced motion activity zones so waving tree branches or passing vats do not trigger activation. It really is a feature rich system, and the price is right. Also purchased a compact outlet mount with a shorter USB cable for the Sync module. It makes for a neat and clean installation, along with ease of portability to different plug outlets if necessary.

    I like these cameras. They were on sale and the price was good. They were pretty easy to set up and do a good job of focusing on the areas I want to see. The only thing I did not like is the cameras are hard to securely attach to the pedestal.

    We have Blink cameras around our home - we like the blink system because the cameras just work and there are no ongoing subscription costs. This was an addition to our system. The cameras are battery operated and simple to install. The inexpensive batteries last for years. 5 big stars.

    They work really well - almost too good. The cameras are triggered easily with the motion detector on and sometimes can capture videos of rain, snow, bugs even. But they are great! and the app works really well. definitely a great alternative for home security. and works well with alexa. you can tell her to view your cameras if you have the echo show and it will pull it up for you. also gives notifications right away if there is any motion. got it on a Black Friday deal, so I definitely would wait until their on sale to buy.

    Not using for outdoor but works

    So we originally got 2 and ended up with 4, me and my fiancé got them for the inside of our apartment so when we aren’t home we can check on our animals and also the fact that my fiancé has had people try to break in to where she use to as she feels better if we have cameras. The camera Qaulity isn’t bad for how small they are, the sound Qaulity is a little rough but they are intentionally for outdoors so I’m not complaining and as for the connection we normally don’t have issues that are terrible but we don’t have the best wifi so I feel as if it’s not the cameras issue so for what we are using it for and the price along with how compact it is I really don’t have any personal problems with it

    So easy to set up. The picture is very sharp and clear. Connects to our internet wi-fi signal great! I like that you can disarm all the cameras or just one to save battery. App to control is very user friendly. These are well worth the money! Bought 5 outdoor cameras and turned around and got 3 more. I think the price is reasonable too!

    Outdoor camera setup is easy and once set up it works great. Daytime picture is true HD 1080p. Nighttime picture is B&W and seems to have lower resolution but still usable. Easy to adjust sensitivity. I've set up 4 of these and they're all working fine. Battery life is surprisingly good.

    Still figuring it out

    Easy to mount (I actually used Command Strips). Still trying to work out the sensitivity, and have not figured out how to record on my USB (did not take a subscription). I have a problem with it activating with birds flying in and out of my porch during the day, and cats and rabbits at night, but someone can be at my door before I get that notification.

    Have a Blink camera inside my office, and bought this after I caught some kids climbing up the electrical box to get onto the roof of the building and realized I needed some external security as well. Very easy setup with no issues - just note you DO need to have a sync module for this one. It works great -- I get the occasional random notification with nothing to be seen in the recording, but I've definitely got a much better idea what's going on around my office when I'm not there.

    Works great. Easy to install. No issues even with sub zero temps. Squirrels and cats do trip it tho. Probably a minor adjustment would fix that. Great value on sale.

    Excellent camera for the price. Easy to use! The picture, movement that it captures and audio is clear. If you do not have a smooth wall to drill the camera into then you may have to use alternative measures like tape. Also, it does require a subscription. I did not know that prior to purchase so heads up!

    The quality is amazing when recording and live streaming. This is the best buy if you are not looking to spend a lot of money on an entire system and cameras to plug in. It has its own small router system that you just plug in, then download the app and connect the cameras. The best part, is there is no wiring, ( EASY INSTALLATION)
