Customer Ratings & Reviews

Blink cameras have been known for their extended battery life and in all honesty, I am quite surprised at how much this does with just 3 AA batteries. This doorbell works if you have one to replace or not. You can literally put a doorbell camera anywhere you want to. It is super simple to set up, install the app, plug up the sync module, pop in some batteries, run through the steps in the app, a couple screws to mount your preferred bracket, snap it in place and you are up and running. Instantly get access to motion notifications and while on the trial of the plus plan, also person alerts. However, this is where the down side for me comes in. If you are going to use Blink, you might as well use multiple Blink cameras because they are nearly useless without the subscription or Sync Module 2. You don’t get access to any recordings, you only get motion notification or ring notifications, not if a person was detected. You can’t even do live view recordings, which at least some other apps let you do that as it records to your phone. Live view becomes extremely short and you have no idea what you have missed. The reason I say multiple cameras is because then you can use the subscription service for all of them. But, if this is your one and only camera, the basic plan will cover it cheaper than the plus plan, but then you also don’t get the extended warranty option. So, it is like get 3+ devices to make it worth it, or none at all. I really don’t like how limiting wireless cameras are these days with their plans. However, with that said, while on the trial for the plus plan, it has been quick to recognize and notify me of person or motion detection, despite sometimes the motion being a person just not facing the camera. The fisheye lens makes for a huge coverage area, even up close. Two way audio is good to hear on the phone, but pretty faint outside. One thing that is missing out is if you don’t have an Alexa device or a wired doorbell, you will ONLY hear a notification from your device that gets the Blink notifications, like your phone. With it connected to your Amazon account and an Alexa speaker, you will hear a doorbell chime of your choice and “Someone is at your Blink doorbell”. The sync module that it is included with is just for connecting to WiFi. Overall, the doorbell camera is not bad so long as you are willing to pay the monthly subscription and you are all in on the Blink system. Linked with Alexa and multiple cameras or other devices, you start to round out your added monthly cost over time. Without the subscription, it does become less effective but still at least notifies you of motion, allows 2 way communications and functions as a wireless doorbell to your phone or speaker.

I've had the Blink Video Doorbell for a while now, and it’s a solid device for watching over my front door. The biggest advantage for me is the "head-to-toe" view. I can see a full person at my door, and I can also see packages left on the ground right at the base of the door. This is a big improvement over older doorbell cameras that often cut off the bottom of the frame. The setup was surprisingly easy. It can be installed completely wire-free, using two AA batteries, which works perfectly for my setup. Blink claims a two-year battery life, which is great for a device that’s always on. I haven't had it long enough to verify that claim, but it gives me peace of mind. You can also connect it to your existing doorbell chime if you prefer. The video quality is clear and sharp, day and night, with infrared vision. The two-way audio works well too. It allows me to talk to whoever is at the door from my phone, no matter where I am. Motion alerts are quick and reliable, and you can set the motion zones to avoid unnecessary notifications from, for example, a busy sidewalk. It also works well with my Alexa devices, which is a nice feature. Overall, the Blink Video Doorbell is a great choice for anyone who wants an easy and effective way to monitor their front porch. The head-to-toe view and easy installation are its best features.

The new blink doorbell is a major improvement over the previous generations. Having own the previous models I can confidently say this device will most likely have longer battery life and perform better. While the camera is on the larger size it does have its perks including a wider angle lens and the room for 3 AA batteries rather than 2. Under the correct settings, the included blink module, lithium ion batteries, and normal outdoor temperatures, blink advertises 2 years of battery life. On my existing blink camera I typically replace the 2 AA lithium batteries on my Backdoor twice a year and my front door cam once a year. Since my rear camera is more active I replace the camera with the new version. Installation for me was easy. I was replacing an existing Blink doorbell on my Backdoor which is connected to my wired doorbell system. My front door also has a blink doorbell and is wired. Our Backdoor is used more often as our garage and main door access is from the rear. It took me about 15 minutes to swap out the camera and check. The update took about another 5-10 minutes. One thing that I value with this doorbell over its previous generation is the mount. The wires directly connect to the mount rather than the camera so when ai go to replace the batteries I will just pop the camera off the mount, replace the batteries and have no interference with wires. There are two metal ports/connectors that touch when the camera is touching the mount. Prior, I had to always be careful as the wires were directly connected to the camera and in the colder months or really any time I replaced the batteries I always had to make sure not to disconnect or brake a wire. Now I don’t have to mess with anything unless I remove the mount completely from my wall. The camera provides head to toe angles as mentioned on the packaging. I have great viewing angles and the image is also larger on my Home Screen. I also noticed the camera provides frequent screen shots on my homepage just so you can keep an extra tab on what’s going on. The camera is crisp and clear, I would say the farther something or person is out the harder it is to identify. Anything within 25 - 50 feet from the camera is crisp. The resolution is 1440x1440 and is plenty for viewing and recording needs. My major disappointment is the updated blink module which doesn’t allow you to add additional external storage so you don’t need a subscription. This version of the module forces you to buy their subscription while my old and other current model modules I own allow for external physical storage. Not sure why they didn’t provide a USB A, C or micro sd card port on this version of the model while the other models they offer do. If you have another module you don’t need to use this one for it to work on your existing system and avoid the subscription.

TL;DR: SETUP: Sign into the Blink App, on the top part of the screen, press the + button, and follow onscreen prompts (more details below). USE: It works very similarly to the original Video Doorbell, but has a much larger viewing angle, meaning you can see also see the ground/packages in front of your door. USABILITY: If you’re accustomed to Blink Cameras, this works exactly the same way…which is to say, very good. OVERALL: It works well and is clear when subjects are closer to the camera. It’s less clear when zooming in at distant objects. Compared to its competitors, the battery life is amazing. It does exactly what you want and has low maintenance to do it. REVIEW: First, when connecting the Blink Cameras, you first need to sign into the Blink App, on the top part of the screen, press the + button, First choose Sync Module (then Video Doorbell), Scan the QR Code on the back of the Sync Module (then Video Doorbell), and follow the directions - which will have you adding your home WiFi, it will update the firmware settings, and then will be connected. Next, you need to physically install it at your door. This is simple and they now include a corner mount if you need. I used a drill, but you really only need a Philips head screwdriver. You can set it up hardwired or with the batteries. I use it with the batteries and need to replace them once every 1.5-2.0 years (per the original Blink Video Doorbell camera). The maintenance is super simple and it is easy to swap out batteries. They recommend Energizer Lithium batteries, so those are what I use. They can handle temperature extremes very well. I live in the Northeast and the temperatures can fluctuate year round from just below 0° to above 100° F. The batteries are supposed to last the same amount of time (2 years). The resolution has increased from 1080° to 1440°, meaning cleaner and clearer pictures/video. I would agree with the real world use. The new version camera now projects at 150° versus 135° for the original. The water resistance has improved. It’s interesting that the camera doesn’t totally fit flush with the wall mount. I contacted Blink about it and they mentioned the water resistance isn’t connected with the backing like it used to be…the water resistance is mainly built directly into the camera (another improvement). Overall, it’s still my pick for my front doorbell camera system. Others I have tried have been good, but battery life has always been an issue…not with the Blink, though. If you’re using batteries and not hardwiring, there really isn’t another option that I have found to be better…yet. :)

I recently got this 2nd Generation Blink Video Doorbell because I lost our existing one after we moved. And due to recent stolen packages incidents happening in our town, I feel a video camera is a must nowadays. My experience with this particular set has been quite positive so far. The installation process was straightforward, taking just a few minutes to set up. I opted for the wire-free installation using heavy duty outdoor mounting tapes, which worked perfectly for my front door. This set comes with the sync module which made the installation process even easier, especially since I already had a Blink account from my previous use of their video security cameras. One of the standout features for me is the 150-degree head to toe field of view. This allows me to see not just who is at my door but also the packages being delivered, which is particularly useful. The HD infrared night vision is a nice touch, although I do wish it were a bit clearer and crisper. It does the job, but I find myself hoping for a little more detail in low-light conditions. The smart notifications are another plus. The camera’s ability to differentiate between a person and a vehicle is remarkable. I was amazed when I received notifications that specified whether it detected a person or just a passing car. This feature adds a layer of security and peace of mind that I didn’t expect but greatly appreciate. Using the Blink app is also simple and straightforward. The interface is user-friendly, allowing me to hear and speak to the person at the door effortlessly. This is particularly useful when I am busy or away from home. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Blink Video Doorbell. It has met my expectations in terms of functionality and ease of use. I’m already considering buying an additional Blink outdoor camera to enhance security around my home further. If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient video doorbell, I recommend giving this one a try.

The Blink Video Doorbell and Sync Module # BDM00300U, the newest Blink video doorbell by Amazon, offers several new upgrades over previous versions that make it a notable investment. The first thing noticeable is a head-to-toe 150-degree HD view of what has just activated your doorbell. This live view is a 1:1 ratio and can be activated by pressing the ring button or by motion. This expanded field of view allows you to visually see a lot more than any other video doorbell that I have owned. Through the app, the two-way audio can be accessed, and you can not only hear, but speak directly to your visitor. The audio works clearly and allows for a smooth verbal transaction with the guest at the door. This model comes with a sync module and three (3) lithium AA batteries. The doorbell is marketed to run on these batteries for two (2) years. Other features of this newer version include more advanced features, such as person detection with embedded computer vision, commonly referred to by its acronym CV. Computer vision relies on video and digital images that the camera has captured, and is a field of artificial intelligence that enables the device to interpret images (similar to a human eye) and to know what it is seeing. This feature enables the video doorbell to learn recurring visitors and events. The video is quite easy to install and can be completely up and running in a matter of minutes. It does not have to be hardwired, but if you do wire it to existing doorbell wiring, in most cases, it will work seamlessly with your in-home chime assembly. The material used in manufacturing this Blink model is more weatherproof and durable than that used in previous Blink products. The Blink Video Doorbell comes with a 30-day subscription that includes use of all features it has to offer, like uploading to the cloud, CV person detection, etc. A subscription past the free trial is not required for the doorbell to continue to operate, but it will not be able to save video clips and provide the extra features that it is capable of without one. There are several subscription plans offered. It is helpful in today’s world, and also safer, to see who and what is at your door before opening the door to your home. The Blink can also record theft and other crimes that may occur within its field of view. I would give this product 5 stars, but I think it could be a bit more stylish in design, so in my honest review, I am just giving it 4 stars. Despite the lack of visual design quality, it does work very well.

The Blink product is easy to set up and works reliably right out of the box. The app is user-friendly, making it simple to monitor activity, adjust settings, and review recorded clips. Video quality is clear, notifications are timely, and the battery life is impressive, lasting much longer than expected. Overall, Blink offers a dependable and affordable smart security solution that provides peace of mind without unnecessary complexity.

I replaced an existing wired doorbell to get an upgrade for security and ease of interacting with visitors. I tried a different manufacturer previously and was disappointed with the frequency of false alarms and slow response. Blink really outshines the competition here. I haven’t had a single false alert and the response is almost instant. The install was really simple. After installing the app, I followed the instructions provided step by step. The Sync Core module and camera install went smoothly. It took less than 30 minutes and I was done. I really appreciated the angled mount that was included with it. The field of view is really good, and the quality of the picture is amazing. It will take some time to get used to the fisheye view, but the full head to toe view is perfect for people and packages. A two-way conversation was easily heard by both parties. After waiting to see how it performed in the dark, I have to say the IR night vision Is outstanding. There are a few things that I wish were included. The included Sync Core module manages the connection to the camera and internet. It does not include a chime. With a wired setup it will use your existing indoor chime. In wireless configurations you need to have an Alexa device or purchase an optional camera to act as a chime. Local recordings require the purchase of an upgraded Sync Module. Here again it would be nice if the upgraded Sync module had a chime function. You have the option to purchase a subscription which enables enhanced monitoring functions and cloud storage for videos. As a replacement for an existing wired doorbell, it really shines. If you’re expecting to duplicate a doorbell wirelessly, be aware you’ll need additional components.

The blink doorbell is a decent entry level doorbell that makes sense for you if you're already in the Blink ecosystem. The doorbell itself is minimalist and compact, however setup is a pain. Don't use their screws. They're too small and terrible. had to use my own stronger screws to hold it in place better. The wedge, if needed to angle it, isn't the best quality. we'll see how well it holds up, there's some gap and fitment issues (see pictures) As far as security of the device itself, there is a lock that is supposed to be triggered with what looks like a sim card tool, however even without it, and minimal force the doorbell was able to pop it right off. so hopefully no one just takes your door bell Setting up the doorbell to the app is pretty straightforward and easy. However, the app is minimal but not the most friendly UI if you're not typically tech savvy and prone to navigating apps to find features and functionality. there are plenty of additional features, but they require a subscription. So as mentioned, if you're already using Blink products, this would be nice to tie in. Picture is clear and refresh rate is fine. As seen in the pictures, its a little too fish eyed for my liking it promises 2 year battery, so we'll see how well that holds up. not sure if this will be able to be edited in 2 years or whenever it dies to comment on it. it is on the lower end to help justify the price but could have done a better job with at least installation of the unit and security of it.

The Blink Video Doorbell is so easy to assemble and install. The Outside part of the doorbell uses 3 AA batteries that are included in the kit. The inside part which requires being charged in an electric outlet. The necessary cord and plug in are included. All screws, wires and hardware needed is in the box. These are in paper packaging instead of see through plastic like most other companies. I thought the smaller package was those little things that are put in to keep moisture from damaging the equipment. I threw it away. OPPPS!! When it came time to use those little screws I could not find them anywhere and then remembered throwing that one package away. So be very careful and don't throw anything away. I did not set this doorbell up to be used with my home doorbell. Instead I used the included bell system After charging the bell part and installing batteries, I installed the doorbell on the outside beside my door. Again it was easy to install. All I needed was a screwdriver. The outside fits snug with no wobbling. I really liked the back panel that tilted the doorbell in for easier viewing of the person outside. The view is amazing and fairly clear. The bell itself is not loud enough for me. I wish it was louder. Other than that, this Blink - Video Doorbell is perfect. I love it. There is an optional Blink subscription plan that is sold separately and if you opt to purchase it, you will be able to do a lot more with your Blink. I opted to not add the plan.

The very positive part of this Video doorbell is the head to toe vision angle. Also in HD. I find this a big improvement from the previous one. I have got the previous gen of this. I had to purchase a local Sync module. This one is including the module in the package. That's a big plus but the one included doesn't support local storage. I didn't install it yet (waiting to get some hardware items) but I have tested out of the box. It is indeed better clarity than the older generation but still have the same (almost) video latency. There is that small delay from when the motion is detected and when it is arriving at the live feed (available to view). I believe being wireless is causing this issue. Setting it up was very easy and it added nicely to my Blink equipment family. No issues with that. The ring sound is good (when somebody push the button) and it also integrates well with Alexa. Motion detection is ok. Person detection would require subscription. With powered by batteries, this Video Doorbell is completely wire free. Batteries should last more than 1 year if used properly. I've the older gen that passed the 1 year mark already. Blink promises 2 years battery life for this one. Over all, it is an upgrade. Very useful to have and kind of essential. I will swap it with my old Doorbell camera and see how it will be going. I recommend you getting any Doorbell camera brand but this Blink is really the easiest one I've used so far.

This is my review for the Blink Video Doorbell - Head-to-toe HD view, two-year battery, simple setup, Sync Module Core included in the color black. I have an older version with of this camera, and I must say this is a nice upgrade. The set up is fairly easy, you don’t have to worry about anything because it just needs 3 AA batteries and the sync module which is all included with the doorbell. The only con about this is that when the door bell rings you can only get a notification in the app or Alexa devices , if you have neither of these you will not know someone rung your doorbell. I have my doorbell at my back door which is a low traffic area. I probably would not use this in the front door or high traffic areas especially if you do not have a blink plan. I have the blink basic plan which is $30 a year, if you do not have the plan you cannot see past recordings , live views etc. The basic plan only covers one device, which is what I have, and it works well for me. As you can see in the pictures the newer version is slightly bigger than the older one

Great doorbell camera, clear video quality, easy setup. I love being able to see and talk to visitors from my phone, even when I’m not home. It gives me extra peace of mind and works exactly as expected.

We decided to go with blink door camera since we have other outdoor cameras of this brand and couldn’t be more pleased!! Clear picture and sound with prompt alerts!!! Easy setup and installation!!! Batteries are very long lasting and videos are NOT sluggish at all!! Highly recommend!!

I’ve been using the Blink camera for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with how easy it was to set up. The video quality is super clear, and I love that I can check the live feed and get motion alerts straight from the app. The best part is the battery life I haven’t had to change them yet. My only complaint is that you need a subscription for video storage, but overall, it’s affordable, reliable, and gives me peace of mind

Great product, easy to set up and dose everything i need it to do . Picture quality and audio are nice and crisp .for the money you really cant beat it .

It really is a simple set up. Plug in the module, throw the batteries in the camera, set up your account, mount it. Basically 4 steps and your up and running. Even i didnt think itd be that easy. But everythings, clear and pretty wide picture. I have yet to find something bad about it.

Love adding this to my blink collection works great clear pics and talk vocal to who is at my door Love it not much delay time

This doorbell is worth it, I love it personally has options for early notifications which I love but you do have to wait until it’s done recording. Good quality, easy to set up/to use/navigate thru on the app.

Upgraded my old camera and this one works wonders. Helps protect my home when I’m away and shows way more than the old one. Works fast and has live view so I’m able to look when I feel like it.
