Decent camera if you're already tied to Blink

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.

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

This model works good and was not too hard to install I purchased this one because it gives you the ability to wire to your existing doorbell chime. Video is very clear.

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

Good clear camera. Wide lens so you can see things normal cameras wowuld not pick up. However if your wifi goes down even a few minutes it disconnects and you can't see the camera feed. Which is upsetting it happens every 3 days. It is nice when some rings the door bell you can see the video feed on the fire TV and Alexa Echo
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The best perfect purchase I have made it allows me to see who comes to my door and answer my door without having to get up. I feel safe and the fact that I do not have to change batteries for two years is definitely a plus

I was so impressed with how easy the Blink doorbell was to set up—I had it working in under an hour. The head-to-toe HD view is a game-changer for spotting packages and people, and the two-year battery life is a huge relief. This is a solid, no-hassle product that just works.
