    I love these! Would recommend! Perfect picture and shows up right on my phone instantly, you also don’t need to pay for a subscription which is a huge plus! Still saves locally on your phone or thumb drive.

    The price is good for the product but make sure to get warranty because some of the cameras do stop working like overheating

    We own a few different brands of security cameras. The blink system is functional and easy to set up. Minimal hidden gimmicks. Recording quality is sub par. It often fails to record events even they are “crossing across the field the view as opposed to towards the camera” as their instructions ask for. If you have a good budget for your home security avoid blink. If you’re on the fence with your cash then go for these.

    Good camera for what it is. Picture will sometimes get washed out by surrounding light at night. I really like the wireless aspect of the camera. Batteries have been holding well since I bought it.

    Overall this is a good quality camera to monitor my home. The image resolution isn’t the best but it gets the job done and it is able to connect to my router just fine.

    Works good there is some delay in picking up motion if the motion is short in duration so might not get a recording. Overall satisfied for the price.

    We live in a high-rise condo with a concierge. Since we needed to go out of town and our condo would be empty for awhile, we wanted the peace of mind that comes with remotely keeping an eye on who may or may not come through our door. This camera is the perfect eye. So glad we have it.

    These cameras are well worth the investment for your peace of mind. We installed them before taking a trip and felt so much better knowing we can see what's going on at home anytime day or night.

    The cameras work pretty well. So aspects are a little finicky. Had to increase the time between clips to stop the camera from triggering multiple times after a valid detection. I wish the app let you program on off times.

    Really cant say anything bad about this product. The only thing is maybe the video quality could be better but i dont think technology is there yet. Have owned this for about a year and half and still rill not replaced batteries.

    Easy to install. Works great. I like that I am able to talk to wherever is at my door. I also use it to talk to my husband when he is on the back deck. He can run but he can’t hide! I also like that I have it linked with my iPhone and Apple Watch so I am alerted right away when someone is as my door when I am traveling and I can talk to whoever know matter where I am.
