    ALL of the Blink stuff I have ordered is getting this same review. After doing an insane amount of research for a home security camera system I settled on Blink for ease of set up and cost. In both of those areas there really isn't a close second. As far as reliability, I'll check in again in a year or two--but other reviews indicate reliability is good. So, good news: easy set-up, great prices, video quality is as good as any, motion sensors and other software adjustable stuff is easy to understand and do. Bad news: The system is a little slow. I knew that going in, so it might be a bigger deal to you. I'm willing to live with it mostly--down the road I plan to put in a much faster, wired, real time system with only one or two cameras, and Blink has a new "Sync Module" that is supposed to have greater range--and maybe speed things up a bit. It has notified me of low batteries a few times--so now I just let it go and they seem to recover on their own. I've also had one or two go offline and I had to reinstall them. I think there are two factors causing this, and again for the price I am willing to live with it. For one thing I have the wireless range maxed out even with an extender for my WiFi network. The other factor is it is currently the dead of Winter and cold beyond all reason. 9 degrees last night, high is 31 today. Lots of snow and wind, too. I'm harder to get along with in this weather myself, so I'll put up with some additional problems with electronics that live outside. Bottom line? After three months I'm happy with it and I recommend any and all of the parts of the system I've bought. It works as advertised and it's way cheap--including the annual subscription if you want cloud storage. I will be buying a couple more pieces soon. It is fully functional as long as you don't need a lot of speed. I'm talking about minutes when

    4th generation Blink Camara ( Bundle of 5 )

    2 weeks ago I bought 5 blink camaras 4th generation and 1 blink doorbell. I just installed them Saturday 7th October 2023 and 1 of the 5 camaras is went offline right next morning in Sunday. Okay I remove batteries and Install them again, working good and everything then Tuesday again same camara went offline and now another Camara is detecting motion but not recording videos. Short story the camara that was going offline is not turning on again, not even with another batteries from another Camara. I have been back and forth with blink customer service how to fix all this problems and all they said is remove batteries to troubleshoot. I am really disappointed because I can not be removing the batteries on the 2 camaras, I have on the front of the house every 2 days just because one of them going offline and the other one detecting motion but not recording videos. I thought would be a good experience but planning on returning them. They have good quality but this is kind of frustrated. Not sure if module does not support 6 items connected at the same time or what can be the problem.

    Good, Cheap Camera

    Works well. The added field of view verses 3rd generation seemed like a plus but it distorts the edges of the image compared to photos posted of the 3rd generation. However, it does reasonable for my needs. The motion sensing is best if the motion is across the view, so aiming directly AT a pathway or driveway tends to only trigger the camera when people's motion turns away from the camera (see photo of where it started recording on a package delivery). Paying for storage and some "advanced" features is the new trend in cheap systems so you'll have to weight that in your decision.
