Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this as my first smart doorbell and was satisfied, but started second guessing myself when I noticed other brands bragging about how superior their 2k video quality was or how their AI scene description was revolutionary, so I decided to try the Arlo instead. I immediately regretted that decision. And because I wanted to maximize the battery life I hardwired the Arlo, which is the only reason it lasted a few weeks before switching back to the blink. My main problem with the Arlo camera was that it did not start to capture the movement until the person was almost gone, since im in an apartment and its capturing a hallway. This isn’t an issue with this Blink camera which captures motion the moment someone enters into frame. I only ever saw the back of people’s heads with the Arlo. Wireless made it so easy to put up and take down and I’ll just use rechargeable batteries moving forward. Finally, when the trial of the subscription service for Arlo expired I truly gained appreciation for the fact that this Blink camera lets me record on an SD card. Who needs another monthly payment that ends up costing more than the product? This way feels a lot better for privacy reasons too.

I rate the blink doorbell as excelly because it really does cover a wide range of space. It is easy to set up and it has a microphone feature which u can use anywhere you are. The clips it records can be set up on the settings. If my neighbor stops by and I’m not home I have a quick chat with them through my doorbell. I am able to dee what packages get to my house. This blink doorbell really makes me feel safer, secured and protected. I highly recommend this product!!

It works really well along my echo show 15 and amazons fire tvs all I have to do is ask to show the feed and it broadcasts it onto the screens and I even have it programmed via Alexa app to send a chime to all my Alexa speakers and broadcast to the show 15 for 20 seconds so I can see who it is I give it a 10 out of 10 and the subscription is optional and if you do decide to get it, it’s half of what ring costs which is nice I try and get all cameras as blink because it’s cost effective and reliable

I can't recommend this product enough. It's easy to set up, cheap monthly plan given that you can talk thru it and capture clips

The doorbell is great. I have two. I use one inside of the house in case my kiddos need something. They just press it. Kind of like a walkie-talkie

Great image on the camera. Thank you best buy for having this available for my family.

I absolutely loved my new doorbell camera. I didn’t use as a doorbell, only camera and so far I am happy with my choice. Works perfectly, the app is super easy to use.

I love it it’s small and easy to put together. The basic subscription is $3.99 but for the free month membership it did really good. The bell works good and it grasps motion from a pretty far distance.

Easy installation, good quality really good for the price

Excelente video quality great for protecting pakages and family members

Blink is definitely a go to purchase, it does exactly what it says. Perfect gift for any occasion.

Nice and affordable. Easy to install. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This particular Blink Video Doorbell Head-to-toe HD view, two-year battery, simple setup, has the Sync Module Core included. I believe that for about $10 less you can get the version without the Sync Module if you happen to already have one. This module (or another sync module, purchased separately, see more later) is necessary in order for this video doorbell to work. It actually works as a hub for up to 10 blink cameras (including this doorbell). The setup for this Video Doorbell was rather easy and quick after downloading/installing the Blink Home app (either Android or IOS) and setting up an account. It basically leads you through the process step by step - there is no confusion. When you're done with that process, your doorbell will be synced to the Module. The module will need to stay connected to power via USB-C in order for the doorbell to work. Blink provides a power adapter with this, but I have mine connected to my laptop and it works just fine so long as the power is on - it even works while the laptop is asleep. The process did setup a 30 day free trial of the Blink Subscription service which I did not request it to do. Blink claims a subscription isn't necessary to setup the account, but it did it automatically. In doing research, a subscription isn't necessary to get a live view of who is at your door or for it to ring but you cannot record and save any video without it or you would need another piece of Blink hardware - a separate Sync Module, and depending which module you purchase, you would also need to purchase a USB drive or a Micro SD card to save the recorded video locally. When you have a subscription, the video is recorded to the cloud with clips being deleted every 60 days. For me, the recording and saving of video is absolutely necessary. The cost does not seem prohibitive, but it might be for some. This doorbell does provide a nice, clear view of the person(s) at the door. I can pretty much see everything I need to at the door - I feel that the field of view is good with this. I can see packages the couriers deliver and I can see small children as well as I see adults, even at night due to the infrared night vision. The quality of the video is full HD I believe, which is good, but not great. This doorbell requires the use of 3 AA Lithium non-rechargeable batteries (included). Lithium batteries are designed for a longer life-span and better performance, but they are generally more expensive than normal alkaline batteries. Blink states that the batteries should be good for up to 2 years, depending on how you setup your doorbell for notifications and recordings. You may also do a wired setup with this, but that does not provide power, it would only connect to your in-home chime, if you have one. Otherwise, the doorbell chimes at the doorbell or through your app. This actually works quite well via Alexa, especially if you have one with video. It can show you who is at the door and you can speak to them as well via 2 way audio, or, you can do that via the app on your phone. There is a lot of background noise and there is a delay when anyone speaks. You will also receive an alert on your phone, if you set that up and that will tell you if someone/something is at your door. It will not tell you if it is a person at your door if you do not have a subscription, it will just alert you to motion and then it will not record, but it will show you a live view. You are also able to set up privacy zones where it will not record. This could be used to cut off the view at the street in order to not record people or vehicles passing by, for example. Overall, this is a fine video doorbell. It works well and does what it is supposed to do. It does provide an extra sense of security knowing who is at the door before me or my family approaches it. There are sufficient settings available in the app as far as "ding"tones, schedules, notifications, etc. to be able to personalize its use for just about anyone's needs. I would prefer 4K quality, but that would be a different video doorbell. I would certainly recommend this video doorbell to anyone in the market for one.

As an experienced customer having bough both Ring and Blink smart doorbells with no issues, this new generation device was a fail on so many levels: "Blink - Video Doorbell - Head-to-toe HD view, two-year battery, simple setup, Sync Module Core included - White". First, it's huge and heavy, bigger than gen 1 which is odd because electronics usually get smaller in new generations. Second, the plastic around the lens is flimsy and wavy, very poor build quality. Third, it started going "Offline" a few days after installing. It would go back online, but I didn't buy a smart doorbell to work part time. I tried customer service twice and their messages back to me were cryptic and asked me to take so many steps. I may end up having to return this lemon.

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.
