can not using this on your exist module, total junk.

Only problem is the batteries run down absolutely too fast I went through packs and haven’t had these that long i bought 2

I have the notification on high and not able to hear when someone rings the bell. Also not getting alerts for motion detection

Not worth buying gave as a house warming gift. Ring stopped work after a coiple months

I once purchased an excellent video doorbell but the first issue I had was that the only angle I could install it was not ideal. That was because of where the wiring was located and the stone frame, which makes it very difficult to rewire anything. But I didn’t have that problem with the Blink Video Doorbell as it allowed me to skip the wires and install exactly where I needed it. Whenever possible, wiring is preferable because you don’t have to worry about batteries running out. Blin gives you that flexibility. It was so easy to install, and you can have it up and running in minutes after you download the app and follow the instructions. Because you’re not forced to subscribe for their service and you can save the videos locally, this makes the Blink doorbell even more enticing. Just be aware that you need the Sync Module 2 for that but I couldn’t find much that I didn’t like. Video quality is 1080p, which is excellent for a doorbell. The two-way audio works well and so far, it has not disconnected or produced subpar images even under low light conditions, which are much better than I expected for a product that is not considered high end. A lot of modern features such as zone or masking are available, and they work well. The only missing feature here is facial recognition. I personally like that feature but many people don’t. So, you may see that as either negative or positive. For this review, I consider it negative. One of the positive features is that it integrates very well with Alexa as expected from an Amazon product. Interestingly, its respect for privacy is much better than another Amazon product. Considering price, features and quality, it is hard to pass.

If you are already a Blink fan you'll want to add this to your current system. At 50 bucks this thing is amazing. I chose the non-wired setup and it uses two AA lithium batteries like the Blink Xt's do and they last a long time. 10 minutes out of the box and it was working fine. The audio is amazing, with the doorbell chime much larger than you'd expect. By default it also chimes on your phone through the app. You can hear who is out there and talk to them every easily--the speaker quality is way better than the Xt's too. It features the usual adjustable motion trigger zones, doesn't seem quite as sensitive to motion as the Xt's when both are set at level 5. I had to disable and then re-enable the Alexa skill to get the doorbell camera added to the list of cameras that can be accessed. The audio and video of it in my Echo Show was awesome, and I had to remind myself not to leave it displayed since the camera was using battery power to do it. A nice feature for sure though. You can add it to your current grandfathered Blink system if you've had it long enough for free cloud storage and use it just like any security camera too. I was already using the latest version of the app but it is recommended that you update first if you aren't. The Blink Home Monitor app is very easy to use, you can tweak each camera's settings easily and access the library of clips from the cameras, and save them to the movies folder on your phone or share them to messages, social media apps or email. A lot of value in this doorbell camera, 5 stars for sure.

The Blink Video Doorbell is really good doorbell to capture video. When it said you can set it up in minutes, that is very accurate. It took me less than 15 minutes to unpack it and had it up and running. When I first set mine up it said I could use online instructions from their website. Unfortunately, the day I installed mine their website was having issues and was giving me 504 gateway errors. I was able to download the Blink app from the AppStore and was able to get everything setup. The instructions from the app were very easy to follow. The unit was a bit difficult to attach to the base. I continued to pull down on the unit until I heard a click. I was able to wire it to my existing doorbell. After I wired the doorbell I pressed the doorbell button, but only heard sound from the unit and not from the unit and the door chime inside my home. I had not idea that the app would enable this feature later. As I continued through the setup process it asked to verity if my unit was wired and asked me to press the doorbell button. After doing so it enabled the ability for the unit to make it’s own chime while also allowing the door chime inside my home to be heard as well. The video quality is clear and the notifications are very accurate. It comes with a 30 day trial period to save video recordings, which I will most likely sign up after my trial period ends.

I've been looking on and off for a few years now for a video doorbell. One that preforms well, costs somewhere under $100.00, and gets good reviews. When I saw that Blink was coming out with their own doorbell, I thought great, but what too so long for them to do it. So, since I have the Blink home monitoring cameras outside, as well as Blink mini cameras inside, and the price was enticing, I thought I'd give it a go. In addition to the Blink security set up, I have the Amazon 4th generation Echo smart speaker with the Alexa app synced to my Blink system. It's on my nightstand so if motion is detected on my security system when it's armed, it tell me that I have motion at my garage camera, or back yard camera, or wherever motion is detected. This comes in handy if I forget to place my phone on my nightstand and I don't hear the notification from my Blink app on my phone. First off, the doorbell looks just about like any other security doorbell out on the market. It's nice that you have the choice of black or white doorbells. Inside the box, you have two lithium AA batteries, two screws and anchors to mount it where ever you will place it. Two wire nut twist connectors and a tiny tool to pry off the doorbell from the base when it's time to replace the batteries. Speaking of batteries, they are supposed to last two years, but I know that most likely won't happen. if your camera is constantly busy because people are ringing it, so video is running a lot, perhaps talking to someone through your doorbell to delivery people, or your mail person, I just don't see that happening. Now if perhaps not much goes on at your house, then maybe they last two years. No instructions in the box, but just head over to the Blink website for detailed set up instructions. Since I already have a Blink system set up at home, that saved me some time as I didn't have to download the Blink app and set that up. I set up my Blink doorbell using the batteries only as I have an older house, and I don't have a clue on what voltage my original doorbell operates on. Later on, I plan on having a friend who is an electrician come over and test the voltage and see if I can use the Blink doorbell wired. It took four tries to get my Blink doorbell to sync up to my existing sync module even though the doorbell and module are less than 10 feet apart. But as I mentioned, I live in an older house with thick plaster walls and the exterior where the Blink doorbell is mounted is solid brick. Not the thin decorative bricks that are on many houses. Since I'm using batteries only at this point, when someone rings my doorbell, it will notify me on the Blink app on my phone. And as I mentioned earlier that my set up includes an Amazon 4th generation Echo smart speaker, if someone rings my doorbell, then I'm also notified through my smart speaker. Unfortunately the notification through my smart speaker is not "ding dong" chime. It says something like motion at your doorbell. Maybe there is a way to change that, but I've not had too much time to do that as I've been pretty busy lately. I've also seen on some YouTube videos that if you have the Amazon Echo Show smart display that you can view who's at your door when you have your Alexa app synced with you Blink app. This would easier to see who"s at your door at night if you have the Echo Show smart display on your night stand instead of fumbling around for your phone, then unlocking it, etc. The picture quality is 1080p, which looks very good on my phone. I have not uploaded any video clips to my computer to see how they'll look on a 32 inch monitor, but I'm sure it will look pretty good. Not 4K great quality, but good enough picture quality to identify any porch pirates to the police if they ever come to my home. Overall, I give this new, first generation Blink video doorbell 3 out of 5 stars. It's not the best out there by any means, but priced at $50.00 it's a pretty good deal.

Camera doesnt always record when doorbell is rung.

I had previously used a RING video doorbell. Now I use the Blink Video Doorbell Obviously the Ring wireless video doorbell was much more expensive and I installed it 4 years ago. It worked well but had to be recharged frequently. Tired of that. About a year ago, I install the latest Blink Wireless Camera System inside my home and outside in several locations. Lots of use because I have a lot of wild animal activity. They still have their original batteries installed (Lithium non-rechargeable by Energizer) and the batteries still report as "good" in the Blink App. Today I bought two of these Blink Video Doorbells to replace the Ring Wireless Doorbells. Installation was very easy and took 2 minutes at most.

The Blink video doorbell is a welcome addition to the rest of our Blink system, and I was happy to replace my old doorbell with it. It works with our doorbell transformer, so I was able to do a wired setup. From opening the box to completion, it took about an hour to set up. It took this long because I wasn't too sure of a couple of things. After snapping the video doorbell in place, it doesn't feel like it's snapped in or secured against the back cover. I checked several times and was not quite happy with it. It feels like you can rip it off because as you pull on it even slightly, you begin to see the back cover. I feel anyone can rip it off with enough force. This could of course be the case with many devices, but this especially easy to rip off due to its bulkiness (which I have no problem with) and the fact that there are six thin tabs that secure the doorbell to the back cover. I do not like the chime that the video doorbell makes itself. The quality of the chime is similar to that of a cheap toy that makes noise. I wish it could be disabled. The video quality is nice. It's a clean 1080p with lots of detail. The horizontal field of view is decent, but the vertical field of view could be better. As for the two-way talk, the person listening at the doorbell receives great voice quality. However, anyone viewing the doorbell camera feed gets much less quality. Thankfully it's mostly clear what's being said. We had about a three-second delay when we tested it. The price is undoubtedly what's going to enable consumers to pick this up, and I think this is a perfect start to having a smart doorbell if you don't already have one. There's definitely more this doorbell could have, but right now I just wish it was more physically secure.

The Blink - Video Doorbell - Wired or wire free, Two way audio, HD video and Alexa Enabled - is a lower-cost option for having a video doorbell. Setting up Blink with its app is simple and quick. The video quality is very good. Notifications and recorded video within the app on my iPhone were also very good. It does require a Sync Module 2 (sold separately) and/or a monthly subscription to unlock all of its capabilities. Like others, I do wish there were options for the doorbell sound, but that's a minor issue for me. Also like others, I did find it very hard to properly attach the main unit to the back. And then, when trying to uninstall it (I wanted to try it out at multiple locations), I found it nearly impossible to un-attach. I am using it wirelessly with batteries and would normally not have to un-attach to change batteries except for once every other year. Still, I feared I would break the unit while using the included tool to remove the back. All-in-all I have mixed feelings about this product: It certainly does the basics well for an affordable price. Because of this, it is probably a good choice for someone who is just entering into the video doorbell arena. I would expect, as your home becomes more connected overall, you will consider upgrading your doorbell in the future. As a result, my recommendation for the Blink - Video Doorbell - Wired or wire free, Two way audio, HD video and Alexa Enabled - is as an entry-level product.

Monthly subscription after packaging clearly states No CC Needed. Not good, stay away from this product.

There is no chime for this product. They can hear the ring outside but not inside.

Good Budget Video Doorbell by Blink offering wired or wireless setup. I choose the wireless setup after downloading the Brink Home Monitor App full of features self help installation. Wish the installation of back cover mounting to the door was more user friendly like having adhesive to peel and stick to the door. I have my Blink Video Doorbell phone notification set and enable motion detection. You can set the video clip length all the way up to 30 seconds. There is monitoring battery life with some features to make effective for you to get the most for your security needs. Audio and HD video quality is great. So far so good Blink Video Doorbell in providing front door security and App notification for video of packages being delivered. Post back later on how long my wireless setup of Blink Video last before battery replacement.

Super easy to setup the Blink doorbell, and it works great! The app is very easy to use, and the motion alerts are not too sensitive like some other doorbells I have used in the past. 2 AA batteries eliminate the need to run wires to this which is perfect for my home with no prewired doorbell. Overall this is a very affordable option that works great and has no monthly fee! A win!

Bad images quality……….:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

We like the Blink doorbell camera and have the Sync 2 Module so we don't pay for monthly service. Sometimes camera is not sensitive enough other times too sensitive, but overall helpful to have for general security and monitoring for package delivery. The device is not weather hardy for Colorado and 18 months later we have no functioning doorbell until we get a new device. Not as worried about the camera, but no doorbell to alert when someone is at the door. Paying $60 for a hardware every 18 months feels unnecessary, but apparently the world doesn't make things lasting anymore. Mostly have to decide if the hassle/cost is worth the benefit. Will be checking for longer lasting devices, but at this price point most people will benefit from Blink. Tech Support advises there are weather proofing cases you can use to cover it. Would rather have a regular doorbell and find outdoor weather sturdy cameras instead.

Don't buy this or is not worth one penny you va can't see nothing

Could not get this to work at all so returned it to store.
