Hi SkyeR,
We are sorry you are not having a positive experience with your Blink Outdoor Wired Camera. To ensure your experience shifts, possibly reconsider its location. If the camera is too far from the Sync Module or has a weak Wi-Fi signal, it might disconnect and require a reset to reconnect properly. Also, if your Wifi coverage is not strong where this camera is located that may be the cause of your issue.
If you have further questions or wish for troubleshooting help, call us! Blink customer suppor can be reached at 1-833-392-5465.
Hope that helps!

The lag time on this is horrible. When someone is at the door you don’t know until they have already left. And if you do catch someone still there trying to talk to them through the system is almost impossible. You cannot hear a thing that is being said.

Wired floodlight cam failure

Worked fine for two months, then started going "offline" every three hours. Customer service says it's a wi/fi problem. It's past the return window. So the warranty is useless. A lot of other customers that bought their wired floodlight cams have the exact same issue. Works for two months, then goes offline. Customer service gives the runaround, blames the problem on the user's wi/fi system. The only affected item so far is the wired floodlight in my system.

In order to see the camera, you have to login with your Amazon account. You can’t share the link with anyone else. They must be logged into your Amazon account. Doesn’t even notify/alert when people go out or come in. The lights are alright, but doesn’t detect the motions if not up close.

I installed my Blink wired floodlight camera a few days ago and I am of two minds with this device. Since I am generally a positive guy, I will start with a long list of pros before I get to what I see as one significant con.
Installation was easy. Instructions were legible and simple to follow. The inclusion of an “S” hook to support your light while you wire it is a simple and nice addition. Everything is good on this front. Installing the app took 4 attempts before it would open. No idea what the problem was but I did the same thing each time and on the 4th attempt it worked. I played around with the app and I was impressed. Fairly easy to navigate thru the menus and change various settings. The camera is solid. My video clips, whether recorded day or night looked good. The camera picks up a fairly wide angle. The motion detector worked well.
And now we go to the one very annoying con with this device. When I was setting it up I signed up for a 30day free trial subscription. With this subscription, everything works. I thought this was primarily for cloud storage of clips. I didn’t want to maintain a subscription so I cancelled it. Without the $3 per month fee most of the features are disabled. Probably most frustratingly, not even the light will work with the motion detector. I will get an alert that there is motion, but I can’t get the light to come on without turning it on manually. You also can’t record anything (without the subscription) without buying additional hardware. So without a monthly fee this device, as far as I can tell, will only do the following things. Alert you to movement allow you to manually turn on a light, siren or speaker, and watch the video with audio but not record anything.
So at the end of the day, would I recommend this to a friend? It simply comes down to whether or not you are willing to pay a monthly fee. If yes, this is a solid device that is easy to install and has all the features I would expect. If no, it’s a largely useless manually controlled camera and light that will allow you to take a peek anytime as to what is happening, but not much else. With a sub it’s 5*s, without it’s 1*, so I compromised and rated it 3*s. If you are fine with the fee I would recommend this to a friend, if not, there are much more useful options out there.

Only works if you have internet. I understand it won’t function as a camera but still should work as a basic light when only power is present. Really? What Utopia do their engineers live in? DO NOT RECOMMEND.
