Bad doorbell camera
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazon subscription for ring services are horrendous. You will pay more money for the subscription than the actual device. I dont get notified of when someone rings the bell

Posted .Hi LemonsAreAMyth,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Blink Smart Wifi Video Doorbell. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing notification issues and have concerns about the subscription costs.
I want to clarify that Blink and Ring are actually separate Amazon brands with different subscription services. The Blink Video Doorbell uses the Blink Subscription Plan, not Ring services. Blink offers a free tier that includes live view and two-way audio, while the optional Blink Subscription Plan (starting at $3/month or $30/year per device) adds cloud storage for video clips. This is significantly less expensive than many competitor services.
Regarding the notification issue when someone rings the bell – this is a problem that should definitely be resolved. Here are some troubleshooting steps:
Check notification settings: Open the Blink app > Settings > Notifications and ensure doorbell notifications are enabled
Check your phone's notification permissions: Make sure the Blink app has permission to send notifications in your phone's settings
Verify doorbell setup: Ensure the doorbell is properly connected to Wi-Fi and the Sync Module
Test the doorbell: Press the doorbell button and check if it triggers in the app
Restart the Sync Module: Unplug it for 10 seconds, then plug it back in
If you've tried these steps and still aren't receiving notifications, I'd recommend contacting Blink's customer support at support.blinkforhome.com or 1-781-332-5465 for further assistance.
We appreciate your feedback about both the notification functionality and subscription concerns.

I would recommend this to a friend BEWARE:BLINK DEFECTIVE- BEST BUY THIEVES
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera was defective from Best Buy they only allow 15 day return policy. I should of asked why. They won't refund it and Blink won't honor the warranty. Brand new camera just purchased 30 days ago anf camera doesnt work. They blame internet provider but Inhave Verizon which.is very fast and my other security camers ( not blink) work fine. Stay away from Blink and don't purchase ftom Best Buy, they sell defective products and then you have no were to turn for refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDisappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This doorbell is very limited compared to my Ring doorbell. I purchased this for a family member due to the lower cost compared to ring. It works ok. Notifications come through promptly but there is definitely a lag in the video quality. If you don’t want to spend a bunch of money and just need a simple way to see who’s at your door then it’s worth trying but it just doesn’t compre to the Ring.

Couldn't get to work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm an IT guy so this shouldn't have been hard but it was. Never could get my phone to connect to the Blink temporary WIFI, even after two phone calls to tech support. They suggested separating my router into two logical routers, one for 2.4 GHz and one for 4.8 GHz. Just seemed like a lot of pain. Took this unit back for a Ring which connected fine.
