Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been looking off and on for a video doorbell for a year or so. I've also read reviews on the ones I was interested in. Then Blink announces their first video doorbell....GREAT ! I already have a Blink security system with cameras outside and the Blink mini's inside. And, since the Blink video doorbell was only $49.99, it sounded great. The doorbell itself looks pretty much like all the other video doorbells out on the market today. Inside the box, in addition to the doorbell, you'll get two lithium AA batteries, two wall anchors, two screws, two small wire nuts and a little tool to pry the doorbell off it's base when it's time to change the batteries. If you were to loose this little tool, and yes, I mean little at just under 1 1/2 inches in length, the you could use a small flat blade screwdriver instead. It would be pretty easy to loose this little prying tool. The lithium AA batteries that are included with the Blink doorbell have a lifespan of up to two years according to Blink. Depending on how active your doorbell will be will really determine how long the lithium batteries last. Since I have the Blink outdoor cameras, they also use two lithium AA batteries, I just buy them when they're on sale, so I always have back up lithium AA's on hand. I hooked up my Blink doorbell using just the batteries for now as I have an older home, and I don't have any idea on the voltage to my existing doorbell. A friend is an electrician, so hopefully in the near future he can come over and using his voltmeter, he'll be able to find out my voltage. From my understanding, using your existing doorbell wiring will allow the Blink to use your home door chimes, but you still will need to have the two lithium AA batteries installed to power the Blink doorbell itself. Since I already have the Blink app on my phone, syncing the Blink doorbell was fairly easy. It took me four times to get it to sync up to my system, after that all was great. I also have the Amazon Echo smart speaker (4th generation) and I have my Alexa app linked to my Blink app, so I get notifications that someone is at the door on my Echo smart speaker. The Blink doorbell camera produces 1080p images and they look great on my cell phone. Now you're talking about an 6 " display, but it look very good. Feeding that image to a tv should still look pretty good in theory, but I've not tried that yet. Since I'm grandfathered in on my Blink security system, I don't have to pay for the storage, so I can't comment on that. But I do use a USB drive hooked up to my Blink sync module to save my security camera footage, and hopefully the doorbell footage will be able to be saved there too. While I've only had the Blink video doorbell hooked up for a week, so far my experience is pretty good. Still tweaking the distance setting a bit to get them to where I want them, but over all, I've pretty happy and feel that the $49.99 I spent has been worth it so far. For the money, I highly recommend buying the new Blink video doorbell.

Had this doorbell installed at my other place because I don't spend the time there like I used to. Also I do use two entrances The first one already has a doorbell camera so I decided to put this one on my second side entrance. Giving me more view of my house and the areas around me. No kidding I think I like this one better than I do my other one, I won't bother mentioning the brand but it is another brand. This brand seems a sharper faster and seamless video. Fairly easy to install and I went with the wired option because I don't want to take a chance on the battery option. Be just my luck when I needed to work it won't be working and it'll be a week until I get out there to change out the battery. Easy to use simple to set up and the app keeps it quick fast and fresh. Highly recommend this doorbell.

Super easy to install. Works great! Very easy to setup with Amazon.

This video doorbell is pretty inexpensive, keep in mind, you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a barebones video doorbell, then this one is just ok. It sends a notification fairly quickly when the doorbell is pressed. Generally it takes less than 5-10 seconds. The video quality is pretty good in daylight and just ok at night. The audio quality is not bad. The unit is made of plastic and the mount is pretty tricky to get the doorbell to latch onto the back plate. I have mine hard wired, so I am not to worried about taking it on and off, but I can’t imagine taking it off to replace/charge the batteries. It seems like the plastic will eventually get brittle in the heat and cold and will break. The unit does not come with the angle bracket, if you want that, you need to pay extra. The lens is a wide-angle lens, so even though it is not aimed toward the person directly in front of the door, you do get a good view. The unit comes with 30 days of the Plus Plan trial. The home screen has a message that takes up half my screen stating that I have x days left. When the trial ends you lose video recording. You are supposed to get live views and motion alerts. My motion alerts don’t seem to work very well. Most of the time I only get alerts when the doorbell is pressed. If you are looking for a barebones video doorbell, I would recommend this one, but if you want something that can actually sense movement, then I would keep looking. The Blink doorbell is made by Ring. My mother-in-law has a more expensing Ring doorbell, and she gets notifications for any movement. I have a floodlight camera that is great for only detecting people. It is too bad the Blink or Ring doorbells didn’t automatically work that way.

The blink video doorbell works perfectly and easy to install. Great quality I would recommend it to anyone who looking for security from thieves.

The Blink Video Doorbell is a very nice device with easy installation and setup, and great integration with the Amazon Alexa ecosystem. In the box are the doorbell/camera assembly, mounting plate, two Energizer Lithium AAA batteries, and hardware, including mounting screws and anchors, wire nuts, and spare screws for the wiring connection. I am really impressed with the inclusion of the Energizer Lithium batteries. They're very good batteries that should last for a long time. Setup is as simple as downloading the Blink Home Monitor App (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, & Amazon Appstore), setting up an account, and following the in app instructions. Blink does require both email and phone number verification, but the verification codes come quickly and these layers add more security to your account. To mount the doorbell, turn off the power to your doorbell transformer, then use the enclosed template to pre-drill the two screw holes, attach the wires to the baseplate, screw the baseplate to the wall, and snap the doorbell onto the baseplate. Turn the power back on. That's it. Super easy! Alexa integration is accomplished by enabling the Blink Smarthome skill in the Alexa App on your smartphone, and linking your Blink and Amazon accounts. Once that's accomplished, you can use commands like, "Alexa, show the front door." to see live video feed from your Blink Doorbell at the front door on you Alexa device. You can also speak to the person ringing the doorbell via your Alexa device (obviously the Alexa device must have video capability). Finally, if you add the Blink Sync Module 2, you can store all your video clips locally for up to 10 cameras using an SD card, or you can choose to subscribe to Blink's cloud storage service to store your video offsite. Blink offers two levels of cloud service, and a handy chart comparing the options is available on the Blink web site. Overall, the Blink video door bell is a solidly built, useful device. And it's a great value at the current price, as well.

Love these cameras, great quality video and works great.

Easy to use and battery life is decent. Held up very good for being outside 24/7

Doorbell camera works great and easy to install doesn't take but about 10 minutes to install and has a wide range of motion

I love my blink doorbell camera. I love the fact that I know when a package has been delivered or someone is outside my doors. The battery last about 6 months this leaves room for improvement on it

Good for the price. Descent pictures and videos quality

Easy to setup. Picture quality is excellent and the app is very user friendly.

The best doorbell camera I ever purchased!!! I’m so glad I purchased this for my home

I really love this product! It was easy to set up with my phone. I was able to set it up outside using only an electric screwdriver. It does take a little patience to get the camera clipped into place on the mount. It is not too sensitive. No squirrels have set it off..

I returned this item after three (3) days. Set up was ok and not to difficult. But, after less than 12 hours it stopped working then spent several hours with customer support to reboot the doorbell and video camera . It then only worked less than 24 hours. As I started a reboot by myself, the next step was to call customer support again. No reason other than it just would not stay working. No bell, no video, no voice … nothing. I changed batteries as directed. No luck. WiFi and power were not the issue. And, if it were batteries, why would I need to change a lithium battery everyday. This item in my opinion was not worth the trouble. I am not calling customer support daily for reboots.

Doorbell looks great and video clips are good. My problem is, to enable or disable the motion detection, you have to press the doorbell each time. In order to extend the battery life (not have to replace them every few months), you have to disable the motion detection when it isn't warranted. Can you imagine being snug in your bed when you realize that you haven't enable the motion detector? Now you have to get out of bed to press the doorbell. I bought this for my sister as a Christmas present, she can't use it and it's too late to return it.

Great Price for what you get. If anything it gives you some warning of who’s at your house. Thieves also take note and think twice before being on camera. Dont hide it make sure people know theyre being recorded.

Great device and easy to install even if you don't have an existing doorbell. It comes with batteries and you can mount it anywhere. Only drawback, and this is my fault for not reading, is that you can't view the person at the door through a website. It has to be through your app on your phone.

Love my doorbell camera. Very reliable and the notification are instant. Great quality camera view too.

Good quality video/very sensitive. Because it Triggers frequently make sure you use the grid to block out areas you do not want picked up
