    Love our blink cameras. Once you get zones set up and tweak settings battery life has not been an issue. Or they do offer solar panels for these as well if battery life is an issue in your application.

    Easy to setup and and install. I liked the fact that they were wireless and you can view and delete the recordings from your phone. I really liked them until a couple weeks in then they kept disconnecting from my wifi so if i was out of town and they disconnected they would not record and was unable to see anything until i got back and reconnected them.

    So far this seems to be a good camera. I use it inside my garage so I can't say how well it holds up outside. Seems to be a good value at $99. Was easy to setup unlike some other cameras. Battery has held up well so far. Been over a month and still hasn't needed to be charged.

    Right out of the box without doing anything except downloading the blink app, I was able to see, hear and talk to my dad at his house behind me. It is so important for our family to be where they are comfortable as they age. This way he has his independence and I don’t worry anymore!

    I really expected more based on the reviews and experience of family members. Image quality is good during the day, so-so at night. My biggest issue is trigger sensitivity. These cameras are very inconsistent. They intermittently pick up people and cars in the field of view but regularly pick up bees, birds, rabbits, and rain!!! I've played with the sensitivity but turning it down renders them useless. To be fair, the manual does explain that they do best with side-to-side motion but it's impossible to position the cameras in that way that are monitoring my driveway and front door since any mounting spot on my house results in most wanted motion moving towards and away from the cameras - I suspect a common situation. To add insult to injury, you have to pay $100 a year to get cloud-based video storage and if you chose the free path to store videos on a USB stick the video access time on your phone is crazy slow and pretty much worthless to catch anything live or talk to someone at your door. Plus I see the price went way up since I bought these so I'd say look elsewhere.

    They system is easy to setup, and connects well to a smartphone. I bouhht it because it was supposed to be compatible with our Echos. Though you can check the cameras with Alexa, it really doesn't alert you on the Echo, or at least it is not easy enough to set up to do so, as I haven't figured it out yet. So the notifications come to my phone, but not the Echo. This is the only downside for me. The picture is great, the settings are easy to navigate.

    good price for these cameras! I also purchased the Google Mesh Wifi nest , that provides amazing coverage to my home. There is about a 2 sec lag from time of movement to me getting alerted on my cell. the voice 2 way talk is decent as well. The night IR is not bad at all!

    I wasn't to thrilled I had to used a sync module to used these, but I found way to get this system for practically 6 month free, add once device to the system one every 30 days.

    I had been looking for a good camera system to put up and a friend told me about the Blink Cameras. So I looked on the Best Buy website and found they were on sale. Read the reviews, went on YouTube and looked at a couple of tutorials and thought I would give Blink a try. I’m very happy with this system, it works good. I think the night vision portion could be a bit better but all in all it’s a good system. The set up was easy and pretty quick.

    Easy to install, great video quality during the day, loved the 2 way talk feature, night video qualiyy very very poor, did not like that the live view in app only showed one camera at a time and live view on app only lasted a few seconds. I was not happy with the cameras overall so I ended up returning them.

    I have 5 of these, and a couple outside. They have so far survived all seasons and weather going on 3 years now. Quality is good. Can set zones to keep high traffic areas from picking up motion.

    East to install. The only negative thought is that the area that sets off the recording is a very narrow window.

    Works well as a no-fuss installation security camera. Clips come to cloud as advertised. It is withstanding the outdoor elements of rain and snow. Have not had long enough to evaluate battery life claim.
