Perfect little entry level security system. Easy to install. Easy to connect. If you plan on storing any of your recordings, Blink offers a plan for $100 a year. The system set up is so easy, I am confident that those who are even technologically challenged can set up the system. Installation is a breeze. The base connects to a surface with two screws and the camera pops right onto the base. I cannot comment on the battery life, for the first month it worked just as you'd expect it to, I easily purchased power cords for mine off of Amazon - if you choose to go this route, take the cameras design into consideration, with the power cord plugged in, it is difficult to tilt the camera downward and Blink has removed the option from their APP to "Flip" the camera if you have to mount it upside-down. So if you are placing it up high and want to run a cord to it, remember this for mounting. If you're just running the battery, you'll have no issue at all. If you're wondering about the range, I have a camera mounted on the exterior second floor of my house, and there are zero issues with recording motion. I also have another camera mounted in a tree adjacent to my front porch, its proximity from the Wifi and the Sync Module is approximately 25ft. One more thing of note, the night video is recorded in black and white, which can cause things like faces to be washed out if they are closer to the camera, if you'd like color night time video, pair this with a dusk to dawn light.

We purchased 3 Blink cameras and mounted them on posts with a small 'umbrella' above to protect the lens from precipitation. The camera sends us alert right to our phones. We were amazed at all the wild animals we have roaming our property

I love the blinks ! Had to go back and purchase a couple more and a door bell. Captures everything and camera quality is excellent and clear when I watch it on my phone! Definitely recommend for everybody!

Super quick and easy to set up. Long last battery and clear pictures. Only one thing I don’t like is the waiting time for switching between cameras is too long.

great but not perfect. ive owned arlo 1st gen and these blow that away. battery life last longer and takes 2 aa lithium as opposed to 4 cr123 lithium batteries arlo takes. pictures are excellent. only downside is the 100 dollar a year subscription needed to remote view. i was hoping i could just use the 64 gigabyte thumbdrive to remote view but thats not the case. overall satisfied.

WORKS WELL. FOR THE PRICE. I JUST WISH THE NIGHT VISION WAS BETTER AND THAT IT WAS MADE TO WORK FINE WITH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. BECAUSE ONLY SUPPOSED TO USE LITHIUM IS REALLY EXPENSIVE IN THE LONG RUN. AND WHERE I LIVE EVEN WITH THE MOTION SET AT 6 the default setting. The batteries died out literally like in 8 days. That’s ridiculous. LAST 2 years IS LYING DONT BELIEVE THAT. IT DIDNT EVEN LAST 2 WEEKS.

These Blink XT’s are a no frills, easy to setup, and easy to use camera system. 1080p resolution looks great on the app, and battery power simplifies setup in areas without an electric socket. One thing to be aware of, since these are battery powered, you don’t get an always-on live feed, and there is a delay when you want to start a live feed, but when the system is armed, motion will automatically trigger the camera to record and you’ll receive a notification of the event via the app. Installed this system in a new location, and I’m able to seamlessly view both old and new locations using the same account in the Blink app without issue. Definitely would recommend these if you’re looking for something that’s simple to install and easy to use.

great price point the videos are picture perfect very resonalbe monthly subscription ( 1st month free) sound and distance of video is clear and i can speak thru it ..( aweome ) it gives me peice of mind knowing i always have an eye and ear there where i need it; i never miss anything.

My Blink cameras have literally put my mind at ease. Setup was a breeze. I have five of the outside Blink modules and they pick up any movement. You can adapt each camera to different settings: timers, space movement, sensitivity levels, sound levels. Easy to install. 10/10 recommend!

Love this system. Clear pictures and video. Great quality. Easy set up, which is great for us old people who know nothing about electronics. Doorbell and spotlight are great. It has many options to help you.

I wanted to put in an easy outdoor camera system that was affordable. And this mult-camera system fit the bill when it was on sale! I have mixed emotions about the entire system. The devices themselves are great. But for every feature I like about the system, there is a system/application limitation that I don't like. The Good Very small cameras, each take 2 AA Lithium batters, and pair easily to the provided hub. They provide a mounthing bracket and an angle adapter to allow for a vertical and horizontal mount. Mounts are held in with a couple screws, and were easy to install. Image quality is pretty good. They have a wide angle of view, and allow you to hear and talk through the live stream. Local storage option (micro SD card) will allow you save your videos locally, and you don't have to have their subscription service. The timeline is pretty easy to use in the app, and it's easy to download videos if you want to save them. Oddly enough, the app blocks taking screen shots and I'm not sure why. Night vision is pretty good. It doesn't see very far on infrared, but, I suspect that is due to it being battery based, and they don't have a ton of IR transmitters on each unit. Motion clips can vary in length, but the app warns you about batterty life if you go much beyond the default. If it's a high traffic area. You probably want to keep them short for high-traffic areas, or plan to replace batteries more frequently. The Bad First, the mounts. Attaching the mount without the adapter was virtually impossible. The plastic was soo hard, and the tolerance was so tight that attaching just the mounting bracket was so hard, I am not sure I could do that when the mount was on the wall. Now, with the horizontal adapter attached, it was no problem at all. so I made sure I picked horizontal mouting locations. I understand previous versions had mounts that were too weak, so perhaps this pendulum swung too far the other way. Where a subscription is no required (yay), they do have application limiations that push you towards the subscriptions, like, when you run out of local storage, you have to delete the videos one by one. You cannot select multiple to delete. But you can with the cloud storage. :-| The biggest annoyance is that, where you can arm and disarm the entire system, or enable/disable individual cameras, there is no built-in capability to arm or disarm based on location, only based on a schedule. To do it, you have to use a 3rd party service called IFTTT, which seems like overkill. The subscription plan isn't horribly expensive, at $10/month or $100/year for an unlimited number of cameras and unlimited storage. That being said, it would be really nice if I could have just one subscription for all of my amazon-owned systems, including Bling and Ring. Or maybe if they rolled it into a Prime membership... or an add-on to Prime even. Summary In summary, the system as some pros and some cons, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it. My biggest goal was not to have to wire my house for cameras, and this system fits that goal really well. If you can wire everything up, there's probably better systems to use (Amcrest, Reolink, etc.). The biggest test will be to see how long I actually get out of battery life. My cameras range from low traffic to occasional traffic, to "higher" traffic, so, it will be interesting to see what the various battery life will be. Plus Winter is coming, which will probably affect battery performance as well.

Purchased and installed this system over the weekend replacing an older Arlo (1st Gen) quickly noticed really low quality of night vision with Blink. Blink support did not help much and only told me that’s the best 1080p could do when it clearly wasn’t. If you really need a camera system during the day, this is a great inexpenaive version to go with but my experience was not the same results for night. It may work for you just sharing my own testimony. I hooked up the old cameras from Arlo and quickly did notice the better quality in Arlo. Will be returning the Blink system and returning to Arlo for now. Also if it’s a big deal to anyone, Blink does not have it yet have compatible capabilities for screenshots snips to be viewed on Apple Watch like Arlo provides. Just one thing that helped without having to pull phone out and open app to view what could be just an animal over a person or vehicle.

Great value for 5 camera! Setup took a while but is not hard. We finally caught the "poop bandit" which was our neighbor letting his dog do his business in our yard. Video quality is great! Lets just say my neighbor may need these cameras since we returned his dogs waste to his front door.

Great wireless solution for security cameras! The picture quality and audio is amazing.

Very good in daylight. Video excellent. Night vision fair with on board infrared. Ad just a little light and it’s a whole new experience. I have 4 Blink cameras- they all work very well! I would buy more!

This is the third time I tried to post this so just know I’m determined… THESES CAMERAS WORK GREAT PIC IS GREAT AS WELL IM ABOUT TO BUY SOME INDOOR CAMERAS THATS HOW GOOD THEY ARE!!

Likes camera very good view works very well and easy to set up

Not bad for the price... They are easy to install, Easy operation through your phone and the batteries last up to 2 years

The Blink Outdoor cameras are totally wire free. This is why I like them. I retired some other cameras cause the guy at Best Buy said they were wire free. When I got them home u still had to have power to each camera. Now the Blink outdoor cameras are only for motion. They reach about 30 feet. U can view through an app at anytime from anywhere with a smartphone. When you view it does use up the battery more so the life won’t last as long as it says for two years. The camera uses two AA lithium batteries . They have a microphone also to have two way talk. It’s nice when u get motion and u have put one camera by the front door. Then u can use your app to speak to who’s at your door. Just remember when cameras activated the microphone is also on recording . You have the ability to turn off the sensitivity and microphone plus many more options. This setup doesn’t cost for a subscription to use. Which is also nice. I bought a 2000 watt flood light to go with a camera. Then u will get picture in color at night for the driveway.

I recently purchased these Blink wireless cameras. The picture quality is good during the daytime , and better than I expected at night. If you add a good motion sensor spotlight near the camera, The night videos, are drastically improved. The mounts for the cameras are much better than I expected when I installed them. The clip together attachment of the camera do the mount had me worries that the cameras would pop off with the first wind gust. I was wrong. The wind never lets up at my house and the cameras withstood the recent 50-60 mph gusts like a champ. I did have one problem with a couple of the cameras not detecting motion. I walked in front of the cameras several times during daylight hours and never got an activation. I checked the Wi-Fi signal and the signal was good, so that wasn’t the problem. Reset the cameras a couple of times and would occasionally get a motion detection. I really liked the cameras but I couldn’t trust the reliability of a couple of them. After a month I removed them and replaced them with another brand.
