    These were easy to set up. It's fun to see video of all the creatures that come to the house in the middle of the night. Only downside is the battery ran out much more quickly than I was expecting.

    Put it in a non-high foot traffic area. It goes off with even the slightest tree branch movement. So if you or your loved ones are going to cross the cameras paths, be prepared for a lot of notifications.

    This camera works wonders. I get to keep an eye on my apartment and my family at the same time. It was an easy set up and records perfectly

    I love it. It does what it says. You can view wirelessly from anywhere on your phone. Setup is a breeze and can be done by yourself! I love that there are no messy plugs and connections to worry about. Just by your double A batteries and the cameras are ready to go. The is an built in intercom feature so you can speak to someone through the camera and they can respond. I love using this feature with my little ones when im at work I can easily sneak a peek at their activity and if it happens to be making a mess I tell them to stop. I love it. Its easy to setup and take down. I would recommend this product. The quality is great both morning and night.

    Good for what they do. Could be better at night. Also paying for a subscription to playback your recordings is annoying but all major companies are shifting to this method.

    1080p is good quality. Does the job great with the app. Dial in the sensitivity easily. Arm and disarm quickly. It’s worth the subscription for the cloud video storage!!

    We had Total Tech install our units. They were such an excellent team and very helpful even afterwards with questions we had. We are very happy with our 5 Blink system.

    Needed to expand my system. Better than the older XT2 cameras. A plus is this is a kit, not just 2 additional cameras. The news based station works local usb storage.

    Great Value, Great Product, Get better mounts

    Best cheap, non-subscription, option of outdoor cameras I have tested and used. If you are looking for a full security system with entry sensors, then you will have to look elsewhere, but if you just want outside surveillance on the cheap, I cannot praise this enough. The major difference between local and cloud storage is the ability to save the Live View recordings; local storage does not have this option. That means if you just want to take a look at what is currently going on at your property, you cannot start recording and save to the USB drive. If you have cloud storage you can. The included exterior mounts are junk in my opinion. I got on Amazon and bought some weather-proof ones that are way better and give more range of motion setup. Catch these on sale and the value is really hard to beat. I also got the doorbell and it is really good total setup for my needs.

    Have to pay for a subscription, not free is what I don't like ... you have to take off Night Vision so see in the dark. It's ok,I'll do the job. There's better cameras out there though.

    These cameras are pretty good didn’t understand that if you want to keep videos you must start a plan. This was why from advise from sales person, there would be no cost at all

    Didn't realize when I bought these that after 30 days you have to pay a monthly subscription. If I had known that, I wouldn't have bought them. But they do work pretty good

    Extremely easy to install and setup. A strong home wifi is very important but that is a given. Cameras were easy to mount and connect to the Blink router. I am extremely satisfied with the product's performance and features. The mobile app works perfectly and I am very satisfied with the additional home security this product offers. I did buy 2 additional cameras to provide a 360 degree coverage of my property. Security companies have been proposing similar functions at a price that would pay for this system in 6 months - without some of the features I have. It's easy to install and setup.
