Many appreciate its small size, motion detection, and night vision capabilities, making it a good security option. However, some users have reported issues with connectivity, battery life, and the live view option. Additionally, the subscription requirement has been a concern for some customers.

    Great difficulty setting up. Spent a lot of time on phone with tech support for Blink...on 2 different phone calls....AND even tech support for my brand new eero mesh system......eero tech support even tried to help me install the Blink cameras. Bottom line...never could get operational so took them back and purchased Ring security cameras. They installed easily and were operational in less than the time of one phone call to Blink support!

    I like them but if you have multiple cameras and there a movement at both ends it will record one.

    DO NOT BUY, THEY NEED MONTHLY FEE OR ADAPTER

    Once again, I get disappointed by Amazon’s company (these cameras are part of them). In part, it was also my fault for not reading well the item’s description, but I thought at first that you could use a micro SD card for storage and the recorded videos, well, that’s not the case, in order to do that, you need to pay $3 dollars esch month if you want storage, or $10 if you have more than one!!! And guess what, you also have to pay it even if you are a prime member. In case you don’t want to be tangled with lots and lots of monthly fees, you can buy a separate adapter to plug an USB, BUT, it costs $35 or something, and, in my opinion, is too much for just an USB, and what if you have more than one camera, well, another $35 dollars for Amazon’s great idea of the adapters. So, in conclusion, I would suggest anyone DO NOT GET THESE CAMERAS BECAUSE THEY WILL DRAIN YOUR WALLET WHEN THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS FOR LESS MONEY OUT THERE

    I bought this and some of the wireless Blink Cameras. The allow my to keep an eye on the driveway and this one watches the living room. The motion activation is spotty at best and the motion has to be extremely close, as in 5 feet, to activate the camera. Also, after I purchased the camera, Amazon said that the cloud storage would require a monthly charge after 2021. That wasn’t so when I bought it. If I have to pay a monthly charge I’ll switch camera brands, Ring and Arlo has good reviews, I’d suggest looking at those.

    Decent camera, but Google integration is limited at best. If you have an Alexa smarthome these may make sense for you. If you have a Google smarthome go with Nest devices.

    Not actually wireless. You have to connect them with the cable to get them to work. They record fine, but make a clicking sound every single time which is kind of annoying.

    Overall it’s a pretty good product . Only downside is the shutter noise that the camera makes every time it kicks on. It kinda kills the stealth mode of the camera.

    Bought two of those, one from Best Buy, and one from a different vendor. The base of this camera has two parts - the base itself, and its cover. The cover of the camera bought from Best Buy does not stay on. The camera itself (again, the one bought from Bestbuy) makes a loud click when starting recording. It still works, though. The other camera is fine. Either the quality control is not adequate, or the camera was damaged somewhere within the supply chain.

    You can set up with an app and Alexa but a bit complicated setting it up to the echo. Shines a bright light when it senses movement so I’m afraid it may be waking up the baby.
