Its been about 4 days now. So far its good. Got one for my back alley where I park my cars. My first issue is that the motion sensor wont catch anything beyond my car (see photos) which I need to capture the road just behind them. After readjusting it kinda catches when a car or person walks by but not always. and since its a heavy traffic area I got alot of high usage warnings. Found out you can use a micro usb cable for external power. Most definitely recommend that if you also have a heavy traffic area. For me I bought an adapter where the light bulb goes so I can have an outlet for the cable.(see photos, both found on amazon) which worked great now I dont have to worry about climbing up there to switch batteries every other month. As far as quality goes, the videos and photos are good enough. Although the mic is really sensitive so you get a lot of white noise for the videos. Setup was pretty easy and straight forward. App UI can be better, be nice to have live view for more than one camera at a time. NEED a web viewer, theres only an app. Although I bypass that using an android emulator on my PC. Overall I am happy, especially after adding the accessories.

I bought the Blink camera for home security, but what I really got was a 24/7 nature show starring raccoons, squirrels, the neighbor’s cat, and one very judgmental fox. Every night it gifts me another episode of “Who’s in My Yard?”—a meditative reminder that life, like motion detection, cannot be fully controlled. The camera doesn’t guard so much as witness, quietly observing. I check the clips each morning with gratitude and mild terror.

I started with one outdoor camera. I have two outdoor cameras now and one mini. I got the cameras to keep an eye on our pets. I can just check on them or arm the cameras and get clips when there is movement, sound, ect. Either way they are very clear. I am very satisfied with the quality of the pictures or clips . I liked that I don’t have to have a contract. I like the wireless battery option and the mini is electric. The quality of the picture is as good on the battery as the electric . The microphone works well both from sending and receiving. Blink gets an A+ in my books.

Great quality camera. Sometimes it seems to be very sensitive for alerts. I have turned down the sensitivity and still get alerts for wasps flying by besides that overall great would recommend.

This camera system is very easy to set up. I now have 4 cameras in my system. I have one on the storage building which is over 100 ft. away from my WiFi. Very happy with everything so far. Pretty big delay in communication feature, but hope I never have to use this!! I am amazed that it can work this well on an internet system that is probably worked to the limits in our country! Night vision fair. Pictures are very amazing in total darkness. For the money I would buy more cameras for my system. Thanks Best Buy!!!

By far the best camera's on the market. I've used Arlo and Blink out performs Arlo and much better quality pictures by far. Easy to link and install. I would recommend these to anyone for their home security or just keeping watch outside your home or inside. 5 Stars plus.

The additional add-on Outdoor Wireless Security Camera was the easiest to install, both physically to the building and set up was a breeze on the app. I absolutely think the Blink camera is so versatile because it can easily connect to your encrypted WIFI without the need for a system like Google or Alexa

This is extremely simple to install. I have the doorbell, four inside cameras and two exterior cameras. I also have the Sync Module to store everything locally.
Blink cost a fraction of other security cameras and works great.

Bought this to complement our existing cameras and, overall, I am pleased with this product. The app is pretty easy to navigate and the resolution is good as well as the sound quality. The only thing I find a little annoying is how easily triggered by movements they are and also that they’re not capable of continuously recording. I think they would be better outdoors to monitor your car or trashcan as opposed to indoor security cameras.

Good Camera, but Hardwired Cameras are More Secure

The Blink home security cameras are pretty good quality. The video quality is great and the audio quality is pretty good too. Unfortunately, the battery doesn’t last very long - definitely not nearly as long as advertised. And, if your WiFi gets hacked into, the video footage can be edited by the hackers. Hard-wired cameras are much more secure if there’s any chance you might be hacked.

After having vandals mess with my porch and having packages stolen from same, I feel much better about having cameras to possibly deter thieves and other criminals from stealing from and messing with my property.

This is the 4th blink outdoor camera I have purchased. The quality of the picture is excellent. The notification coming to my phone for movement alerts is great. They are compact and easily hidden. I highly recommend this product.

I like that is wireless, comes with batteries and easy to install. The motion sensors are good and you can actually mark the places you want the sensor to be on or off. The camera has speaker so basically you could speak live with the person in front of the camera.
