    It works pretty good but you need to buy a subscription to record vids and view them later. My wife paid for a subscription and we've been getting billed but still can't figure out how to see recordings

    Very sad the plugs did not work correctly on one camera. Also this camera is by subscription only. Very sad because I am not looking to pay monthly for one.

    Did not know that if you don’t have the blink subscription it will NOT save videos. I have the 2nd generation and they still work fine.

    I own other Blink outdoor security cameras because of the free storage, but these wired indoor cameras would not stay connected. I was very disappointed with these but will try same ones that work for me outside indoors.

      Hello Ninfa! Thanks for reaching out. I am sorry to hear about your disappointment in your Blink Mini cameras. For better motion detection, try these steps to adjust sensitivity: 1. Tap More (...) on your camera's thumbnail and select Device Settings. 2. Select Motion Settings. 3. On Motion Sensitivity, move the slider two or three increments to the right for a higher numeric setting. Tap Save to save this setting and walk out of the frame of view of this camera. 4. From the main screen of the Blink app, set your system to Armed to enable Motion Detection. 5. Test the camera sensitivity by introducing movement. 6. If the sensitivity is not successful, increase the slider more, save, and try again. If you have adjusted the sensitivity to your liking, proceed to test with a larger moving object, such as yourself. Walk in front of your camera and check to see if the setting gives the desired motion alert. To increase the amount of time your Blink Mini records: Go to Settings > Device & System settings > Select your system name > All devices > Select your camera > Motion Settings > Clip Length. If you need further assistance, please reach out to Blink customer service at 833-392-5465. I hope this helps and hope you have a great day! AmazonDevices

    We picked this up to monitor our little one while he sleeps however please read the following before you make the same mistake we did. 1. The live video feed only last about 30 seconds and returns to the main menu. 2. RTSP is not available, because option 1 did not work I thought I would use RTSP and view it as a network stream... nope not enabled... 3. Local storage recording is not available unless you pick up one of their storage hubs (which isnt a game changer for us but good to note) I really wanted this to work, I really wish it did as blink is a solid company but I wish they wouldnt have recommended it for monitoring your child.
