Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was our first Video Doorbell and we are very happy with it so far. Out of the box it comes with everything you need to install. In fact it comes with different ways to install including a corner mount which at first when I saw that feature I was looking to see where to do that but then I ended up going with the typical install next to the front door. It comes with all necessary hardware and template and was quick to follow the instructions. Once it was mounted it didn't take long to get it connected to the Blink system. I actually replaced the existing Blink network adapter with the new one and all my existing cameras worked with that adapter. It setup very quickly and I had it setup through the app for use right away. The camera has a large field of view and the microphone is very sensitive. One of the features is if you have a indoor Blink camera you can set it to ring if someone rings the doorbell. You can also connect it to your existing system which we didn't have. It is just like the other cameras where you can set your view and sensitivity. You can also adjust the length of the video. I am very happy with the Blink Video Doorbell.

I really like the blink and ring items. When I first bought my first blink outdoor camera, the quality was exactly what i expected, so when I went to expand my home security I picked up some ring devices as well. I thought because they were made by the same company, everything would be viewable and accessible in one app. Unfortunately not. But adding this new Blink video doorbell. Luckily could be paired up in the same app as my cameras and view are able all to see them together. The image quality was really nice! Super clear ! The setup and mounting was extremely easy and only takes a matter of a few minutes. If you already have a Blink account and app all you have to do is add it to your existing account. You can set up your sync module and if youre like me and don't want to pay for the cloud subscription service, you can plug in a usb and capture everything right there in your home. Once you're setup you can change you can go into the app and change the name and thumbnail picture that appears in your app as well as the chime. Its a really simple to use doorbell that I would highly recommend to others!

The camera came with everything to get me going. The doorbell, indoor ring module, usb_c plug and adapter, screws, anchors, 3 batteries, 2 mounting brackets (one is an angle bracket) and surprisingly enough extension wires if needed and finally a removal tool. Set up of the Blink was fairly straightforward, although I did have a slight problem connecting to their website. It gives you the option to link it to your Amazon account, I declined. I chose to go wireless, although I may change that depending on battery life, but its nice to have options. The view from the camera is very sharp and clear during the day and is in full color. Night vision is black and white and still very clear with or without my porch light on. I set it up for auto day/night vision. I just have the 1 camera and opted for the basic package that is free. If I had more cameras I would need to go with the upgrade fee based package. Also you get the free 30 day premium trial if you like. This is my third doorcam, my other 2...the first cost per month with no option for a free program. The other was free with DVR storage but was so glitchy it wasn’t worth it. Both were name brands. Blink, I think is a perfect fit!

This Blink ss an excellent door bell camera which features a wide angle like most doorbell cameras, easy to connect to wire or wireless hub. The profile is a bit larger the my previous doorbell camera but it is still withing acceptable size to be inconspicuous in my double-door front door. I like the ability to record in the internal memory and play back as well a the ability to record over a paid cloud subscription. I like the high resolution the camera has, though seeing details far aways at night is a bit tricky. Installing in the wall was quick an easy since I had one already. Setting up and connecting the app was straight forward and simple. The app features are simple and basic which is what I like for a doorbell camera. One of the features it comes with, which I am not fond of, is the 3 AA batteries that requires for backup power instead of one large Li-Ion rechargeable batteries that other doorbell cameras come with. This makes the footprint a bit larger than other cameras I purchase. As for durability, it seems a bit less sturdy than a solid plastic camera. This camera exposed to the elements would be my worry. However, I still think is a good choice among the many alternatives.

I love that this doorbell now turns on with motion. We used to own the original doorbell and it did not have the sensor for motion. It would only be active if someone rang the doorbell so this is for sure an upgrade. I've used bling products for 5 years now

We have several outdoor cameras from 2 other brands and 2 separate Apps, but this is our first experience with the Blink brand & Blink Home Monitor App. We had high hopes for this Blink Video Doorbell cam since we’re big fans & users of everything Amazon, but unfortunately, it underwhelmed us. First the good: Setup was simple & explained well in the App (you must have or create a Blink account). The box contained the needed AA Lithium batteries which was nice. After adding both the sync module & the camera to the App, we chose the non-wired mount since we’re using it at a rental & didn’t want to wire it to the existing chime. The App notification response is pretty quick. After using it for a full week, it consistently takes only a few seconds from the time the camera is triggered until the App notification is received. The Audio is very good quality. The speaker is quite robust. I can easily communicate with a person at the door. Via the app, visitors at the door are able to hear me very clearly, even with a little street noise in the background. Likewise, I’m able to hear the person at the door very clearly. Of course, the bonus is that via the live app, I could be talking to the visitor from inside the house or from many miles away. To save battery life, I have the Video Quality set on Standard which is adequate. The view of a visitor at the door is clear, but anyone standing farther down the walkway towards the sidewalk comes across in low quality & unclear. Disappointments: For starters, this new Sync Module does not have a USB port that allows for a flash drive for local storage. I also don’t care for the slight fisheye effect which distorts the view. None of my other cameras do this. The Blink Home Monitor App does allow a good amount of personalization, but I’m disappointed w/the lack of some basic features. For example, there’s no ability to change the App notification chime. My other camera Apps allow this. I also don’t see a battery level indicator. All my other devices prominently show the current battery level at all times. This camera faces the street which is fairly busy with foot traffic & cars. After receiving a ton of notifications for cars driving by, I turned off the Vehicle Detection, but I’m still getting clips of passing cars labeled as “Motion”. The negative thing about turning off the Vehicle Detection is that I no longer receive a notice of vehicles pulling into the driveway. I do want to be notified about those. After receiving clips of every dog walker & jogger passing down the sidewalk, I adjusted the Activity Zones & grayed out some areas, but I still receive quite a few passers-by clips. It would be nice if I could adjust the grid in the Activity Zones. Even in the Advanced option screen (that zooms in on the view), I don’t have the flexibility to gray out the areas needed, without also graying out areas I want monitored. Several times, the camera did not activate when a delivery driver ran up to the edge of the porch & threw a package. My other camera was able to capture the whole event, but this Blink cam didn’t activate until the driver was already walking away. Overall, for this price point, this is an adequate camera with a decent App. I would cautiously recommend it for someone on a budget, especially renters that don’t want to fully install hardware & don’t have high expectations. But for homeowners who’d like a more full-featured audio-visual security device w/tweakable & convenient set-&-forget options, there are better choices out there.

I’m really happy with this doorbell camera. The video quality is clear both during the day and at night, and the motion alerts are quick and reliable. Setup was simple, and connecting it to my phone didn’t take long at all. I like being able to check who’s at the door even when I’m not home. It gives me extra peace of mind and works exactly as expected. Definitely worth it.

I needed a new doorbell camera as my old one was literally falling apart, front glass panel fell off. I thought I would try out the Blink. I have a blink camera in my back yard and have been impressed by how it loads the video feed quickly and consistently. Some of my other cameras take forever to load when I want to view something, if they even do. Setup was pretty easy. There are no directions in the box, so look them up online and follow along in the app. If using the angle bracket, note which side is front and back. The form factor is a bit large in how thick and chunky it is. It uses 2 AA batteries, so they're easy to swap out, but if they used a battery pack it could slim down a bit. I like how it can also be connected to the existing doorbell wires (if you have them) to extend battery life and use the existing doorbell chime. It does not have an interior chime itself but will send notifications to your phone and/or alexa devices. I did get it hooked to my fire stick and so I'm able to view on my TV. It has the fisheye type lense so you get a wider angle outside. Video quality is fine but if you try to zoom, it gets blurry. It's best just for who's at your door. I really like the blink products so far and will expand my system.

I'm really enjoying this camera.It has a great field of view.Night or day

My current doorbell and camera setup is with the big brother of Blink. My side door cam stopped working so I figured I’d try something new. Oops. It should be noted that Blink and its big brother are both owned by the same company and Blink is considered the more budget little brother. Their offerings are more focused to a handful of products and cheaper. Imagine my surprise when I set up the doorbell and the charge to save recordings and have all the juicy features is the same $100/yr that I currently pay for my camera plan. This is for unlimited devices, or $3/mo for the one doorbell. It does include a 30 day trial. First thing I noticed was the cheap feel of the plastic. It doesn’t click in to its bracket as nicely as the other brand. And there’s no security screw, it’s just a flat tab retention clip to release the camera. And my biggest issue with it is that it is FULLY battery powered. Included are 3 lithium AA batteries for “up to 2 years” but the only thing my existing wiring is for is activating my chime. It cannot charge the unit nor can the unit work with the batteries not installed, I tried. Also, maybe my biggest pet peeve with this is you need to install a sync module. And it’s on a USB-C cord so it’s not like you can just plug it directly into the wall and let it sit there like my smart lock module. Only reason I gave it three stars is because it’s relatively inexpensive. But it doesn’t seem to be worth the headache vs a more robust solution. I’ll leave it up for now but I’ll probably end up buying a replacement unit for my existing doorbell that died and keeping this one as a portable temporary camera for when I need it I guess. I would only recommend this if you are looking for something very cheap, only need the battery install, and are either on the ecosystem or are willing to pay the extra three dollars a month.
