Worked perfectly for a couple months. Beautiful picture when it's working. Then I moved the camera and the movement sensor started triggering for the slightest breeze, so I adjusted the sensitivity. Haven't been able to get it to work since. I've tried unplugging it, resetting it, bought a wifi extender, deleted it from the account and readded, unlinked my account and readded, and of course, changed the sensitivity back to what it was. Nothing. I, finally, got it to register movement, but it won't record no matter what I do.

We previously had the Arlo cameras and the battery life was terrible and there was no 2 way Audio. These are amazing. The AA lithium batteries run forever.

I have a number of these plug-in cameras and also the white battery indoor ones. Since these get power from the outlet, I find that they work more seamlessly with less connection issues. I brought them with me on a trip at a hotel and connected them to the hotspot on one of my phones. It worked really well. I believe all of these cameras only work on 2.4mghz.
To do that, you need two cell phones. One for hotspot that you keep in hotel room and the other phone has the Blink app on it. In the home with wi-fi, they also have worked well.

We bought this to keep an eye on our dogs. We easily added it to our existing Blink system and everything works as intended. The piece of mind is well worth the price!

It has some night video quality but we’ve had tons of problems. Most of the time when going to view live feed it says live view failed and we keep trying to get to the live feed which never seems to work. Huge problem #2 is it only records 30 second clips. For one if you don’t have a subscription it (I guess) it will continuously save new clips but will delete the older ones to make room for the new clips. With two kids and a dog the storage can fill up in a matter of hours if you have motion detection on otherwise your camera don’t record ANYTHING without you manually record which still is only 30seconds. So if you have something happen with in a 24hr period good luck ever finding the clip because it’s been deleted to make room for 2 clips. There’s NO SD SLOT so you’ll have to pay for a monthly subscription $12+ for multiple cameras and even now I could not find how to get a subscription on the sight. I had high hopes for this camera but I guess I’ll be spending money on different cameras since these ones will not work for what we need them for and I can not return them. So disappointed and frustrated

One of the stable security camera in the market. The design and the build quality is great! The video quality is okay. However, there are some software (technical) improvements must be done in order to compete cheap Chinese security cameras. I got both, but Chinese version works much much better. The most annoying thing in the software is 60 second video limitation. You constantly have to tap on "Continue" button to keep the video going. And once you do couple more times the app crashes. I hope they will fix it soon. Overall, great small 1080 camera
