    Fairly Well Performance With Significant Issues

    I've always wanted these Blink cameras since they were released. Ordered these cameras for the back of my house. I was going out of town for a week and wanted to see my driveway and rear of the home while I was gone. Fairly easy setup. Fairly easy mounting procedure. The included wireless connection dongle did end up having to be moved to the rear door so the cams would connect to my internet. Overall the cameras did work fairly well watching over where I park and my back screened in area... during the day. At night it's another story. While the camera under the screened in porch worked fairly well, the camera overlooking my driveway gave me images of an extremely foggy night. Every night. I could not even see my vehicle 8 feet in front of it due to this fog that cam created. Trust me whomever was on my property had zero chance of being recognized with that camera. The included app worked fairly well as in I was able to see something on my screen that the camera was displaying - however it was laggy and timed out many times. It was definitely not as clear or as responsive as my Ring doorbell camera which caught thieves across the street at night enduring a rainstorm! The batteries lasted all month. In the end, I returned the cameras significantly disappointed in their performance. I believe these would work fairly well in indoor environments or to capture closer events during the day. I did order cams from that other abovementioned vendor which are working absolutely fantastic.

    Almost one month in. Set up was easy, downloading app, connecting to Alexa, etc. HOWEVER, BLINK really needs to rethink those cheap plastic pop-in hangers.... they stink. That was the worst of the install. Being on a ladder and having to apply pressure enough to pop it in without breaking it. Poor engineering. I still give it 5 stars because the cameras do what they should do. They have survived a month of monsoon rains, and I did go ahead and purchase silicon sleeves about a week after install just to attempt to stay ahead of the weather we have here. Purchased this along with a 5 pack as I needed a hub due to placing the cameras on different wi-fis.

    These cameras work great. They give a clear look whenever you want. I like that I can use from my phone or my Alexa. They are very easy to install and you don’t have to worry about a hardwire.

    Love these cameras for there ease and reliability. Easy to hook up on mounts and internet. Subscription is not needed. But its nice to have for my main camera. Subscription is for each camera which is why a gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. And remember, if you don’t have great wifi, you won’t have great connections.

    Easy to Set-up, High Quality Security Cameras

    The Blink Outdoor camera is easy to install and set-up, a definite plus. Do yourself a favor and buy some aftermarket housings for these cameras. It helps further weatherproof the camera and makes mounting a little easier. Set-up was easy, using the phone app to link the cameras to the sync module and easily register the cameras. The phone app is pretty intuitive and has quite a few options. Keep in mind that there are compromises associated with having battery operated devices. Motion clips are a little short and it sometimes takes the camera a few seconds to recognize motion and start recording. I have found that to be a minor annoyance. Alexa integration is pretty good. You can actually tell Alexa to arm or disarm the system - pretty cool. You can also display video on your Echo Show if you have one. Overall, the Blink Outdoor set-up is good quality, but is a little constrained by the fact that it is battery operated. I like the fact that it is totally wireless, which makes installation a lot easier. If I had it to do over, I would probably buy these again - knowing the limitations of being battery operated.

    Easy to setup, easy to install. Quality is decent. You definitely get what you pay for compared to other manufacturers. Definitely not as quick as my ring cameras. All Blink things have a slight delay but they cover areas well and do great with motion detection. App isn’t the strongest or most pleasing to use either. It’s a good intro!

    Love these cameras and the system they run on! It’s basically plug and play! Easy set up, easy to use and when paired with a flash drive you can store all your video clips!

    We have Blink cameras around our home - we like the blink system because the cameras just work and there are no ongoing subscription costs. This was an addition to our system. The cameras are battery operated and simple to install. The inexpensive batteries last for years. 5 big stars.

    Not using for outdoor but works

    So we originally got 2 and ended up with 4, me and my fiancé got them for the inside of our apartment so when we aren’t home we can check on our animals and also the fact that my fiancé has had people try to break in to where she use to as she feels better if we have cameras. The camera Qaulity isn’t bad for how small they are, the sound Qaulity is a little rough but they are intentionally for outdoors so I’m not complaining and as for the connection we normally don’t have issues that are terrible but we don’t have the best wifi so I feel as if it’s not the cameras issue so for what we are using it for and the price along with how compact it is I really don’t have any personal problems with it

    Great quality as always with blink. The only thing I still don't like is the fact that it won't do continuous record/stream. I like to have my cameras rolling 24\7... So I can stare at them forn4 hours if need be. I know there are other options so I can achieve this. But nothing as portable, reliable and funcitaional as blink. Either way, I still recommend these cameras to everyone, I just give them a little disclaimer.

    Overall pretty good especially for the price. Gets a good image, but you will have to work on the sensitivity. It picks up a lot of light changes as the sun moves, so I am interested to see how long the battery last. It doesn’t do super well with people with a darker skin complexion. Being able to use it without wiring is very nice!

    These cameras are awesome product! So easy to install. I finished in just 20 minutes. I put 1 camera to monitor front door and 1 camera at back door of my home. The app was friendly. I shared the app with my wife and she was up and running in 2 minutes with minimal effort. We are so happy with this wireless system. Hopefully the batteries will last for 2 years as advertised Will buy 2 more.
