    Watch out for hidden cost in this security camera

    I got this bundled with another product for a steeply discounted price. Where they get you is with subscription fees to store video footage. The costs aren’t hidden per se, but somewhat of a ripoff. Not sure this product was that great of a value after all.

    Several times my camera didn’t pick up on movement. A whole hour can go by and if not pick up my movement. Then if I change the sensitivity level it picks up flying dust. There’s no in between.

    What a painful process setting up with Apple iphone13 Pro. Not successful. Had to use Android phone to setup. Then, these were visible on iphone 13 Pro. The viewing angle is too small.

    I installed it, worked great. 2 weeks later I changed my wifi network to a mesh router, so the network changed. It will not recognize the new network. I deleted the old profile from my phone, but it still wont tie to the new network. Total waste of time.

    I was never told about a monthly subscription when I purchased these cameras, NOT by Best Buy, NOT by BLINK! I was told you can view your camera clips with the Blink App, NO SUBSCRIPTION. THEY LIED! BLINK/AMAZON IS UNETHICAL AND DISHONEST.

    Makes an audible click and red light turns on when you go to look at the camera. This makes it creepy, disturbing and useless for watching my kids. No idea why they would ever do that.

    Didn't pick up on motion like the Ring camera does. It would periodically pick up motion but missed a lot of motion that crossed in front of the camera.
