    Cable is waaaay too short.

    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!

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

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

    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.

    Now worth the problem

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

    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

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

    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.

    Sucky camera

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

    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

    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.

    Don’t buy!!

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

    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.

    Go for something that doesn't charge U each month

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

    Does an ok job, you have to pay for "storage" after the first month which if I knew I wouldn't have purchased. Essentially the first month allows recordings to save so you can watch them at your convince. After the free trial you have to pay monthly for the feature. I bought this to watch my dog since he was escaping from his kennel at night. Well its not helpful if I can only see live and cant see the recordings the next morning. Not happy and not usable.

    Does it's job. However, their security level is low. Mine were hacked. Customer service could do nothing to help stop the intrusion.

    Worst thing I ever bought.

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

    I bought three of these. NONE of them pick up a HUMAN moving. The distance was less than 20 feet and clear line of sight. The interface is so poorly designed that for THREE YEARS people have been BEGGING for AMAZON to create a desktop app to support the cameras. This goes ignored (like their customers). I took these back within 24 hours because they were so bad.

    These worked for exactly 2 days then stopped connecting to the network. I can hold the reset button down down for 30min or 3 hours, cameras don’t hard reset. Will be returning tomorrow.
