    Such a simple way to add a level of security to our home. Installation was a snap and instructions are great. Still getting accustomed to using them, specifically to disarm them when They really aren’t needed. Too many pictures of me taking out the garbage! Glad I purchased them from Best Buy, my technology gurus!

    Bought my friend this camera and it worked so well I decided to purchase one for myself. Can be mounted in almost any location. I plan to add more later but the kit provides alerts and clear pictures. Very easy to use and set up. Provides good coverage and can reach out to the edge of my WiFi connection.

    I am SO pleased with the purchase of the Blink cameras. These cameras are so clear, record well, the subscription is cheap and affordable, and it picks up all motion in my pool area and driveway!

    Overall setup was quick, mounting process was a little tricky initially but that was due to user error! P.S. if you are mounting the outdoor camera(s) via screws, be wary of the surface you're drilling into!

    Really like the Blink system! It does not have to be connected directly to the router to work, so I can hide it wherever I want where there is an outlet. Easy to install, had it working in minutes.

    Not Reliable - Cameras Go Off Line Regularly

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The cameras are not reliable. You will go months with no video or saved clips. They work for a bit, but they end up “offline”, and not functional - no video, no clips, nothing. Installed by Geek Squad, I’ve had them out to “fix” the issue several times. After about an hour of trouble shooting, they are always able to get the cameras back. But now the Warrenty is over, and visits will cost $$$; equivalent to a new system. I took a chance on Best Buy cameras because I had store credit to use. Lesson learned, rewards aren’t always worth it. The app can’t show me any video, but will certainly mock me with ads for additional care as at a discount…

    Compact design and extremely easy to set up. I found is that you are limited to 10 devices per sync module and the module is required. You also need the $100 per year Amazon subscription plan (which includes warranties) if you want to capture and protect camera images.

    I like the ease of set up and picture quality of these cameras. Application and set up on my IOS device was pretty straight forward. You can Arm/Disarm easily. I would have given these cameras 5 stars if it wasn’t for the connecting hardware from the camera attaching it to my home externally. The hardware only gives you two options for angle when installing and you do not have 360 degree direction to choose from based on these angles of rotation on a flat surface.

    Excellent set of cameras. Perfect addition to the 12 we already have. Best Buy had them sitting in stock. Perfect price. Just what we have been using and has deterred packages being stolen from our door.

    It is a good system overall. Some small things i dont like that keep it from 5 stars. Like minimum 10second intervals it will not record when motion activated recording occurs. I also dont like that i cant just record continuous. And that you have to constantly tell it you're still viewing live feed to keep the camera view longer than 60seconds at a time. I also don't like being able to monitor multiple cameras at once or be able to setup a single monitor for full-time continual viewing.
