    Love the system. Cameras are not as clear as my original XT in the nighttime. Easy to set up and use.

    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.

    The cameras work pretty well. So aspects are a little finicky. Had to increase the time between clips to stop the camera from triggering multiple times after a valid detection. I wish the app let you program on off times.

    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.

    Easy to install. Works great. I like that I am able to talk to wherever is at my door. I also use it to talk to my husband when he is on the back deck. He can run but he can’t hide! I also like that I have it linked with my iPhone and Apple Watch so I am alerted right away when someone is as my door when I am traveling and I can talk to whoever know matter where I am.

    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.

    Cameras are decent quality and notifies my phone of any motion in that area. There are certain times of day that reflections and leaf motion will trigger them - or the random bird or wasp which get annoying after the 3rd or 4th time they stop to say hi, but I suppose the cameras are good. I'm not thrilled with the monthly fee - but its still cheaper than a full on security system.

    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 do not have any other experience with outdoor security cameras to compare these to, but they are pretty nice. Pretty easy to set up and are doing the job I purchased them for.

    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.

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

    Very easy to unpack, connect to our account, and install. It took maybe 30 minutes to have both of these connected to the account and installed.
