Customer Ratings & Reviews

Once we got the app to recognize the device it was easy to connect. We purchased a mount separately to install without drilling holes, which is great if you are renting an apartment or house.

I was looking specifically for an all- or mostly- white video bell, but I’m also thrifty, so I wanted local the storage option. Blink was on super Black Friday sale, so gave it a try. Immediately I had some mixed feelings: 1) solid build and feel, nice looks. 2) works with existing mechanical chime (1950s) and I could even manipulate length of the chiming. 3) App was intuitive. 4) mounting unnecessarily finicky; sliced my knuckle open trying to force the device down into the track, when it refused and gave out. 5) because couldn’t get to “click” (many many tries), not completely weatherproof and easy for a burglar to pop off if they so wanted. 6) Module requirement inconvenient, but whatever. After living with it for 4 weeks, experiencing many issues (below), having it and module replaced for free, then still experiencing all the same issues, and finally comparing directly to a competitor, I conclude the Blink doorbell is simply not ready for prime time: 7) Video resolution subpar and audio is absolutely terrible. Intermittent high pitched warbling/interference, like a freight train riding its brakes, pervaded every video. Audio would cut out altogether for seconds at a time. 8) Live video feed took 10 or more seconds to pull up, even if I were at home on the same network. Made it impossible to catch anyone for two-way talk. 9) clips very rarely recorded for the time I had set. Set to 20, 25, 30- didn’t matter; only recorded people (important) for a few seconds but would give me a car going by plus 28 seconds of nothing. This was easily its most damning failure. 10) No previewing in notifications list like with my other camera (much older tech from Costco). 11) any doorbell press interrupted recording so would not get a full video. 12) awful “Continue?” Prompt in live feed which didnt respond if phone was landscape 13) significant halo effect blurred the night vision 14) zones did not work. Had street blocked out, but still recorded cars anyway if sensitivity was anything above a 5 (out of 9). 15) low battery alert after only 3.5 weeks. Mind you, this was all on the trial premium subscription, and the same results observed on two brand new sets of the doorbell+module. Theoretically the “performance” would get even worse once off the trial and shifted to local (but outdated) USB-A. As for Blink support: the team once effectively handled my call, a few times made me wait 15 or so minutes only for me to hear “all agents busy, please try again later, goodbye! *CLICK*,” and once an agent answered but then hung up on me before I finished my first sentence. Mixed but mostly frustrating bag there. I then bought a Nest Doorbell (battery) to make sure I wasn’t shortchanging the Blink. In a direct comparison—same location, network (and 2.4 band), direct wiring, etc etc—no issues AT ALL with the Nest. Feed comes up right away, videos clearer, and clips actually record for more than a few seconds, and capture the entire even from walk-up to walk-away… you know, like they’re supposed to. It is a real shame this product didn’t deliver basic functionality enough to be worth even the Black Friday price that I paid.

Good product and easy to set up and use and at a great price! Ability to add other units to the system makes it a great deal!

Works great, awesome quality. Able to see from anywhere outside the house.

This product comes with good instructions and is easy to install. It took least than 20 minutes to assemble and plus you get 30 day free trail service, afterward the plan is affordable to keep.

Works great. Nice clear wide angle recordings. Cheaper RING alternative. Easy to install. Definitely get the sync Module if you want to save your recordings (you'll need a thumb drive) and not pay Amazon the subscription fee.

I love this doorbell. I am very short and cannot see through the peephole in the door and now I don’t need it! It also helps to make sure that packages aren’t stolen or compromised, especially during the Holiday Season! Easy to set up, and well recommended! Battery operated and easy to change, but long lasting!

Love how it’s easy to install .. comes in very handy when you don’t hear the doorbell or knock on the door ..

Decent product overall but does consume batteries. I will have to get it wired in for better peace of mind. Was easy to program and install

Works good until it doesn't, goes through batteries way to fast, recommended lithium batteries are outrageously expensive. You're better off with the wired units.

Good quality camera, but the mobile app can be a bit glitchy

Works great, clear picture and long lasting battery life, easy to set up.

Great purchase video is very clear and the armed mode works great and alerts you quickly

Works perfect I feel safer having it installed in my house, I would recommended this to anyone who wants a inexpensive doorbell camera easy install, and great overall quality.

This camera is super easy to set up and very effective. You can even connect it to your echo to play a doorbell chime instead of having to install one.

Replaced our old Nest doorbell with this Blink doorbell. We wanted to have all of the home video accessible from one app. It’s significantly cheaper than the Nest but the picture/video/motion sensor quality is just as good of not better. Very happy with this purchase!

I admit, I was skeptical. Amazon has a Ring doorbell now? I love it. It delivers. It is definitely worth the price, and worth the price of subscription. a little bit of a hassle to set up, but as with all of this "connected home" there always is. nothing I didn't go through already with my google nest or smart bulbs. the camera provides a clear and great picture. super angle as well. I have a small lot and my whole front yard plus drive fits in one shot. It has been up for a month and a half and my batteries are still showing "ok", and that is with activation about 10-15 times a day at least. Check your settings (as in other reviews), and play with what works, and make sure you use the RIGHT batteries!! Lithium. good luck and enjoy the show!

Blink doorbell was easy to install,wired mine in to existing doorbell,was easy per instructions,I am satisfied with camera gives me piece of mind when away.

Great picture quality! Great sound and shows great distance.
