    Stabbed in the back by Amazon/Blink

    Cameras work ok but Amazon really stabbed us in the back. Blink cameras always had free cloud storage until now. The cloud fees are ridiculous!

    The battery life spam sucks,lasted one week . After the 30 day trail you have to pay per camera to have them recording I think this whole thing is a gimmick if I paid for the the system why should I have to pay monthly per camera Best Buy you should remove this item from the store worsted money spent ever. PS. Night vision sucks

    This company tells you that the battery life last two years. The most I get is 2weeks! This is unacceptable for the price I paid.

    Too many false motion detections to be anything but a bother. Configured to only detect motion in specific areas, yet branches moving nearby set it off. Using local storage, too much lag in viewing the stored videos. And no thumbnails of the local videos makes them not useful.

    I wish I knew how hard it would be to get support, after the initial set up. I decided to use a USB drive to record instead of buying a subscription. The device says the USB drive is incompatible. They are sending me a new receiver to resolve the issue. I tried to call/email them today, regarding an issue with the delivery address. No contact possible either way.

    Battery died in 2 days. The clips are very short and cut off too early to catch anything on film, even after adjusting clip length setting.

    Not amazing, but not horrible. You’re better off with a ring doorbell camera. I just returned it and got a full home security system.

    Just does not do what we expected. Everything is delayed by a day or two. Live feed is bad. Night is a joke. No night view with this system. Just not impressed one bit for this over priced camera system. Expected better with tech so advanced and big brother tech doing better for the people that keep them in business. Bummer ...sad face!
