    Great system for home monitoring. I use it to record any movement in my home while I’m away and it sends me notifications to my phone.

    I want to love these cameras, I really really do! But they are slow! Even after upgrading my internet. When you want to see a live view it takes at least 10-15 seconds which will inevitably be too late for you to see what you need to see if you don’t have the paid plan to keep recordings.

    Bought the three pack of Blink cameras and a few days later bought two more additional cameras. I've had them up for a few days and I've already gotten use out of them catching some trespassers at 2AM. The night vision is good and the app is easy to use and navigate. If you want a good camera system without a hassle, this is the one.

    Does the job well. With minimum usage, batteries can last you around 1 year. there are no alarms or spotlights. love how I have a choice on areas I want to monitor so my notification doesn't go off every few seconds.

    Not recommended for use in wide coverage areas

    I purchased 2 additional cameras to add to a Blink system that we've had for about 2 years now. Overall the cameras perform, on a scale of 1-10, at about "5" during the day and "4" at night. The cameras do not have strong clarity at night beyond 10' which is why I purchased additional cameras (to narrow the distance). The functionality that is very broken is the recording capability of the system. We will get pings for activity that occurred at night and when viewing the recordings they are an amalgamation of both night and day recording which are completely useless. Additionally, cameras frequently fail to connect with the base unit. Bottom line, I would not recommend this system for use in situations where more than one or 2 cameras is needed and the area of coverage needed exceeds 10'.

    Not happy that certain camers are frequently "down" or cannot connect with "Blink Cloud". As these cameras are NEW, I do not feel that i should have to change batteries, as requested by Blonk tutorial.

    We’ve been going back and forth on which brand of security cameras to go with and we’re most def happy that we chose Blink. One, it’s cost friendly and you get a lot of bang for your buck; two, it’s compatible with other budget friendly indoor cams; three, it’s super easy to set up and the battery lasts for a long duration!

    Love these so much I brought a set for my sister's family. I brought mine last year and connected them myself. They connect to my Echo Show and I just say "Alexa, show me what is on camera ??? ", and it shows. Only records detected motion at a level of censoring you pick. I have not had to replace the batteries yet and not wires! Worth every penny so far.

    After about a month of use. I believe these cameras are very good for use around the house. Three only thing I have seen that I don't like is anything beyond about 40 to 50 feet is not that clear. Battery life is good so far and installation was a breeze.

    Add on to my blink camera collections. I like how straight forward it was to use the security system. I wanted to get a wireless type and blink doesnt disappoint. Best buy also had the best deal by far!
