    For such a small camera, picture and sound are clear as can be. Takes some time to set up and sync but well worth it! I absolutely recommend this product!

    Very happy with ease of installation and video quality. Infrared black and white not the best, but still notifies when motion detected. This system does not record continuously. Only 10 to 60 second clips when motion detected. Cameras can be individually customized with several options. Suits my needs.

    Love love love!! Picture is great for the price! I can view my entire backyard as well as my brothers to the property line. It is a little sensitive (even bees set it off) but that can be adjusted. I love that I can talk to the outside dogs and tell them to settle down. Highly recommend!

    Really good quality video and very long battery life! An inexpensive in comparison to Ring… I own both and will buy Blink from now on. It immediately allows you to see live video, where Ring half the time won’t open live view. Blink just needs to expand with more variety of devices.

    A good budget priced security camera. The exception being the night vision recordings which are in black and white. Adding the optional floodlight solves the issue. Blink has come out with the 4th generation model but while these are still available at a discount, they have almost the same field of view at a great price! You have a choice of storing video clips locally on your own USB stick or subscribing to the Blink service. The subscription adds some features for the 4th generation but if you are using local storage it's not worth the price difference.

    Purchased cameras after someone tried breaking in throught out back yard sliding doors. Good quality, love the app it's easy to use and install. Took about 20 minutes or less to activate all 5 cameras. Able to turn off one camera while still being able to gave all the other ones on.

    Got these to improve security in the back of my home. Easy to install and they work well. The live feed is a little delayed but the recording is clear, even at night.

    Cameras Work as described. I have had them for awhile now and with the House settings I have had no issues with the Batteries only issue is the speaker on the Camera with volume turned all way up its still hard to hear outside other than that they let me know my packages have arrived etc.

    We didn't want to spend a fortune on a wireless outdoor camera system. This set fits our needs perfectly. We have one camera at the front door and one at the back. Battery life is great and the video is crystal clear. We opted to have our videos recorded to a thumb drive (sold separately) so as to avoid a monthly charge. Would definitely recommend.

    Blink Cameras are inexpensive and the best systems that I have used. Easy to setup and use. Hopefully newer versions will operate on multimode WiFi. My 2.4 GHz band gets cluttered with other devices that only use 2.4 GHz. I love my Blink System

    Overall the cameras work great, picture is great, night vision isn't the best.You have to have good internet to run them at any distance from the router and the hub. Sometimes there is a short lag before they start recording when someone walks up,it will catch them when they walk away .

    Blink Outdoor

    I am using five outdoor blink cameras (plus seven indoor wired, two are pan and tilt). They are perfect for an area that is not hard wired. One camera is indoors and the others are outdoors. Only one set of batteries (oem) died before two years but the others are still going. The climate is moderate. A hard wired Blink doorbell has had to have the batteries replaced at about nine months. But it is a harsh climate on the house front and is set see a lot more activity.I don’t have the Blink plan and am satisfied without it. The 4th Gen may have a wider view but I really don’t need the wider view. I run all my cameras on four sync modules so I can set them up to be active at different times.

    Easy to install. Great picture. User friendly app. High quality product. I was a bit disappointed when I realized that the camera remains stationary, but it picks up a large area. 2 different zones. One is the activity zone that will trigger recording and the other is private, meaning motion will not trigger the camera.

    This is my first ever security camera I've ever installed and it was easy. Download app, connect hub to wifi than add each camera . After that install camera where you want. Ive had it for about two weeks now and it does the job. My issue is with the app. I can't view all cameras live. It's slow when i click to view a live camera. Also I'm having issues with saving my clips to my usb storage. Lastly the motion detector takes a little fine tuning to get it right. Overall it's good as a deterrent if anything.

    Installation was super easy... wireless definitely makes everything ease. Video quality is good as well as the sensor and settings. The only reason i gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the talk button doesnt seem loud enough for visitors to hear.

    We love these cameras. They provide high definition video as well as night vision. You can hear and also communicate using the cameras. They are super easy to set up and you can place them virtually anywhere based on their size.

    Got a Great Deal During Christmas Sale!

    I only bought these cameras because I got such a good deal and could get more cameras for my money than the ring cameras. I Wish the app would allow you to see videos in the full screen of your phone like the ring cameras do. Also wish they worked better in dark areas with no lighting at night. Going to put up a motion light, that would help. Other than that I love the cameras and I got such an amazing deal during Christmas Best Buy Sale. I think some improvements can still be made but pretty happy so far. Love the wireless and long life batteries! Super easy and fast to install. Love that I don’t ever have to charge the cameras.

    Have thoroughly enjoyed this camera. Picture quality is excellent and sound is good. Easy to install and connect to Wi-Fi. Love seeing the activity in the yard and hearing the birds. The “link” program offers features that you loose if you store video on a thumb drive.

    Upgraded my older system to these, I was a wise decision , new system connected immediately with my blink app, the new battery compartment is great, more secure, yet easier to access for battery changes. These have an increased range, especially at night, and a much clearer picture.
