    Cable is waaaay too short.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Unless your living room ceiling doubles as a Hobbit’s crawlspace, steer clear of these cameras. The included USB cable is a generous 6 feet long — perfect if your power outlet is mounted halfway up the wall like some kind of architectural prank. Marketed as “wireless” (because Wi-Fi, I guess), these still need to be constantly plugged in. So if your dream aesthetic is “security camera awkwardly bolted into your drywall at eye level,” congratulations — you’ve found your soulmate.

      Hello Jaken! Thank you so much for you time and feedback with your Blink Mini camera! We are constantly working to improve upon our devices to provide the best value and experience to our customers through feedback just like yours. While the cable provided is 6' in length, we do pride ourselves on the extremely competitive value of this device's price when compared to all competitors in its class. You could look into options of a 3rd party micro-USB to USB cord that sells separately as a possible solution as long as the micro-USB plug will fit into the slot in the back. This could give you a way to maintain the low cost value of the camera while giving it more length. We do also have an Outdoor Blink camera that is fully battery operated that can still be mounted inside if you would like the option to install it higher up without the need for a cord at all. I do hope these options help resolve your concern and potentially improve your experience some with your Blink camera! Thank you again for your time and feedback and have an amazing day!

    Money Trap! Dont Buy Blink Brand!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Used to only charge 1 dollar a month for 1 camera. Now its 12 a month for 1 camera to view your recordings and even more for a second camera. Cameras dont work in places like hotels or shared wifi where an acknowledgment is required to join the wifi. I wanted it for my hotel room when traveling and my office when im away. Nope! Only works at your home wifi. CONSTANTLY loses connection which then requires you to reset the camera and reconfigure the wifi. Its not smart enough to reconnect to your wifi. This is an amazon product and in my opinion it was just made to take your money, not to provide security. Please consider another brand before wasting money on this brand. Beyond disappointing!

    Works until it doesn't. Less than year.

    Have a camera setup in my mother's assisted living. Good luck finding data on a specific date: all it shows is day of week and time, no date. Set up not easy. Never able to get the microphone on the receiving end to work. Has quit twice, latest after blink update 5/17/23. Bought 2nd camera, same problem on two separate networks: can't connect after 5/17 Blink update. 5+ calls to support, still unresolved. Blink: game over.

    Have to buy a $55 software update less than a year

    I bought a Kasa camera due to them promoting no subscription fees to use the camera. Now only 9 months later it won't connect to my network and tech support says I have to pay $55 one time fee to update the software. What a scam. Will never purchase a product from them again.

    Honestly these are great until the camera doesn’t catch the smallest movement and causes your bf to abuse you and accuse you. Because he bought these to watch my every move.

    Suprise subscription fees!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought three of these around October/November of last year and they were decent little cameras but now I can no longer use them because of the new subscription service that the boxes nor the instructions/manuals included mentioned would eventually become mandatory. So now I have three cameras that will be going to e-waste, my advice go with another brand.

    Not the easiest to setup, worst is when up add additional cameras later. It is almost impossible and will mess up what you do have connect. Consumer support is not very good. I have 6 outdoor cameras and 3 tilt and pan cameras, all now sitting in a box.

    Blink Cameras

    The sound is terrible. How you suppose to hear on the other end of the camera says 2 way audio but unless you on the speaker you can’t hear on the other end. Returning pointless buy.

    Rip off… after downloading the Blink app, I discovered they want to link it to your Amazon account and charge you $150 a year to use it. I’ll get a camera from another manufacturer that just works.

    Always something with blink cams

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had a number of blink cameras for the past two years and all I can say is there is always some kind of issue. This one has never recorded motion consistently or properly. It all seems setup fine. Its been reset, re connected, updated, factory defaults... just does what it wants. Same goes for my other ones. Really seems like junk. Im done replacing and working on these. Trying something new.

    Sucky camera

    I guess for the price the camera is okay but will not pick up motion at night if more than 3 feet away unless lights are on, doesn’t really serve the purpose in my opinion
