As someone who is really into home security as well as lighting I seem to constantly be on the hunt for a good camera and/or floodlight. Since Blink combined these into one unit, and despite the fact that I have never owned any Blink products, I went ahead and went all in on this product, mostly due to the fact that Blink, at least in my eyes, has a good reputation.
When I ordered this device I did not realize it had electrical to wire. Albeit simple, I am one of the type of people who would no doubt electrocute myself and due to the simple fact that if I ever have a single issue with this camera then I would always wonder if it was my install. So with that being said I rang up my contractor Brian and a few days later on a nice, balmy Ohio day he went outside and began the install. A bit of time went by and he came and got me to get everything set up on my phone. Everything worked great, once I figured out there was no SD port to insert I was a little disappointed but not too surprised, I decided to go ahead nd consider the install portion done and begin using.
I did choose the default mode, which I believe is to remain on lit up at night but in low power mode, when something hits the zone around it then it comes on fully for a certain amount of time, I cannot recall how long, perhaps a minute, that ends after the person, animal or debris vacates the area around the camera. This makes sense to me and how Blink has it configured by default. I cannot speak to Alexa use as I don't usually add items of this nature to Alexa and monitor them myself as I work from home.
This camera and floodlight camera is something I'd recommend, so long as you know going in that you really only get 30 days to try out the unlimited recording before you get into a place in which you must decide how to subscribe and what exactly that you are trying to use the product for. I do not like it when companies eliminate the SD card option and for that reason I am deducting a star. Overall a worthwhile investment and I will continue to look to patronize Blink products.

The Blink outdoor wired camera with floodlight makes a great security camera to add to your house. With motion activated lights and recording it is super simple to keep track of what is going on in key areas of your house. This is a wired camera so it does require installation and wiring to house power, if you are not comfortable with this make sure to have either a professional install this or check out the wireless version of this same camera. The one downfall with this being wired is if for whatever the reason the power is cut this device will be offline since it does not have any sort of battery inside to keep recording.
I like the fact that Amazon has allowed the Blink devices to work fully without a subscription as long as you have the newer sync modules and a USB thumb drive you are able to record events locally without a subscription. There are some nice extras that are included with the subscription, but just for basic functionality no subscription is required and this is nice compared to some of the competition.
Overall I am extremely pleased with this camera and floodlight combo and would recommend it to anyone looking to expand their Blink security system.

Very satisfied with the quality and the price. Just beware like any other security camera there is a subscription you will have to pay for I believe it’s $3-$6 bucks a month to record.

I was excited to purchase this flood light with camera system built in, and then my electrician went to mount to corners of our roof, and was not compatible. The lights have to mount to a wall, not underneath the corner underhand of the roof. I was quite sad to discover this! Really wanted these to work out for us.

Replaced the old electrical box with a circle one. Dont think it was actually necessary. Easy enough to follow directions for install. Just make sure power is off to receptacle. Wifi range isnt the greatest and was disappointing finding this out after install. If its close to the router i would recommend.
