The camera on here never worked and it was to much to put together

The sensitivity is not consistant. I did not like the unexpected need for a subscription.

Never worked right. Camera would disconnect from internet. No body could tell me why this was happening. Had one replaced Same issue wit camera Returned to store.

Sometimes it picks up motion sometimes it doesn’t. I’m hate the 3sec till it starts recording.

I have to say, the Blink camera system works great, I added another 2 after getting this putdoor wired spot light setup. I had an issue at first with the camers and reached out to Blink support and after a few calls and some emails, we found that my internet was not powerful enough to get recordings to be decent quality. So, I bought the Blink local storage sync module and added a 500gb memory stick. BOOM, we finally have great 1080P recordings to look back on and actually see who is around our home when we are not. I used this to also light up the dog area at night, the lights are super bright and highly adjustable. From the start of the past 8 days of actual use and testing once we got the storage module, i have added 2 more Blink outdoor cameras and I have to say, they work flawlessly as a whole systtem and NO monthly fees with the local storage, ever! Back to the camera, the quality is great for 1080, night time is ok, even with the lights, you can still get most of the picture, just can get weird glares off items around the yard washing out some of the picture. Mounting if the camera was easy, we already had a light installed so it was a quick swap out and I removed the switch that light was on givong it 24/7 power everything was included for install into an existing wall or overhang mount, very nice touch Blink. I plan on adding more local modules and cameras as the wallet will allow, I used to be an Arlo guy, not anymore, these Blink camera do a great job for much less than Arlo.

Does not consistently work. Plus terrible buying experience.

Good camera that fulfills its purpose of providing security and lighting. Installation was relatively simple, there's a video you can watch that goes into detail with how to install it. Everything you need to install the camera outside on your wall is included even a screwdriver. However if you watch the video, it recommends using a sealant, which is something that requires a separate purchase. I do recommend using one so you can eliminate the gaps between the ball and the camera to weather seal it and prevent bugs from going through. The lights are bright and you can set it to be motion activated or turn it on manually through the app. I do wish it uses standard light bulbs that can be easily replaced since if a light goes bad, it seems like you might need to replace the entire unit. Set up on the app is straightforward though if you're using a Pixel phone, make sure adaptive connectivity is off. If it's on, you're going to have connection issues with the Ring's WiFi during initial setup. One thing I don't like about the camera is that if you don't have a subscription, it will flood your phones with alert notification for every motion it captures. Only with a subscription will you have the option of only receiving notifications for people detection and nothing else. That's a big enough annoyance to drop a star off of its rating.

They lag and and disconnect i will be replacing them soon

This product is not working properly and very often goes offline .sync module 2 totally waste and disconnecting very often from Wi-Fi . I don’t recommend this product to any one

No wonder it was so cheap! It constantly goes offline, so I must keep reconnecting it to my wifi. Also, the distance on the video isn't good compared to other cameras.

This was terrible, my sister came to my house went inside and left and the camera never registered someone at my house.

Wired the blinks and still get notifications weekly that they are offline. Even wired they are horribly slow.

Too bad, after one month, have to pay $100 a year, otherwise no record, and the image is very blurry

broke after a month, warranty basically nonexistent, customer service extremely unhelpful.

I got the Blink - Outdoor Wired 1080p Security Camera with Floodlight and couldn’t wait to install it. Finally had some warmer weather after the arctic freeze in the Northeast, so I was able to perform the installation. It was actually pretty easy to do by replacing an existing flood light. The only minor drawback in my case is this flood light is on a switch, so I have to make sure everyone in the house knows not to turn it off which would render the whole setup, including the camera useless. Once the unit is wired you start with downloading and installing the Blink App on your phone that requires you to create an account, and follow the instructions in the App to add the camera to your Wi-Fi network. Image quality is pretty crisp during the day and decent during the night, though it certainly gets better once the floodlight kicks in and lights up the surroundings. The intensity of the light is adjustable thru the App from 1-10, so I picked 5 which is plenty bright - Warning - do not look directly at the flood light or any bright LED lights for that matter, you could damage your vision. So yes, this thing is very bright, so make sure you adjust the angle position as well. The camera has 2-way audio built-in but the volume is kind of low which is to be expected from such a small unit. I don’t think I’ll be using this feature much as I rarely have anyone come up to the garage door to enter the house, the front door is 20 ft away and has its own camera doorbell. Motion detection is decent as well, though sometimes it’s too sensitive when windy. Unfortunately this Blink camera does not have an SD-card slot, though you can purchase an accessory, the Blink Sync Module 2 and Flash Drive for local video recording, otherwise you’ll have to pay $3/mo or $10/mo for Amazon cloud storage. Other low budget cameras such as Wyze v3 come with a micro-SD slot for local recording. Overall, this is a decent setup for a reasonably low price and the flood lights are great, but the camera is just OK IMHO.

The Blink outdoor wired 1080p security camera with floodlight came to me neatly and securely packaged, and included everything needed for a quick and easy installation. I wanted to mount this camera under the eave on the horizontal soffit where a previous floodlight was located. Past attempts were unsuccessful because other manufacturers didn't design their cameras with this option in mind. It is sort of mind blowing since a large percentage of homes in my area have flood lights mounted in this location, and these devices seem to primarily target the DIY retrofit market. Installation was super easy and straight forward. Simply power off the circuit for safety, I prefer to use the circuit breaker so that no one can kill me by flipping the switch as they walk past, and remove the old light. Next, attach the bracket for the Blink light/camera and hang the light assembly from the bracket using the included S-hook, and connect the wires color to color just like the old light. Finally, remove the S-hook and install the light/camera using the single center fastener, align as you like, and tighten it securely so that it doesn't rotate. Installation complete! Setup with the Bling App was just as easy. Just download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, follow the instructions to setup your account, locate the device, and follow the instructions within the app. The light quickly connects to the network and control becomes available via the app. The Blink device also easily integrates with Amazon's Alexa service using the Blink Skill. Then, if you have an Echo Show, you can say something like, "Alexa, show the driveway", and in a few seconds the camera view of the driveway will appear on screen. This is a great product. It seems to be well-made, is intelligently designed to work in most locations, provides great video quality, and easily integrates with smart home devices.

Highly recommend this security camera floodlight. Can't believe how effective this light and camera is at making great video and great sensors. I installed this after the last cold snap here in Missouri. Installation: The installation was straightforward and was able to be installed and secured within 30 minutes of time. Hardware for installing came with several options and screws and bolts which made the job even easier. Software: The blink app was easy to find and install on my iPhone. Software has great options and settings for the camera and the light. Including sensitivity and length of video recording and quality settings. I am very impressed with the notifications being sent to my phone and for the very few false notifications. I like how stable the software is and reliable. Hardware: Build quality is really good. Very solid feel to all materials. Packaging was very good to keep the light secure during the shipping and keeping any damage from accruing. The camera and the lights themselves are easy to adjust and set exactly how and where you need the light and camera to capture events as they occur. Video and Audio: Both video quality and the audio quality went above and beyond my expectations. Very impressed with both and am glad I replaced the former floodlight I had with this one. Couldn't ask for better.

My father introduced me to Blink cameras a year or so ago and I've continued to be impressed with their offerings ever since. They all have great features and are relatively easy to install if you have a little bit of DIY knowledge and about 30-45 minutes of time. I knew Blink more for its wireless cameras than I did for anything that is hardwired. My wife and I have recently gotten into AirBNB rentals and we are looking for some security cameras that are both affordable and doesnt break the bank for recording fees. Blink accomplishes both of those with this camera. The lights are plenty bright for my needs at 2600 lumens and the camera, while it needs a little polishing on the night vision, particularly when the lights are activated, this is a really good entry into floodlights for Blink. The only reason I took off 1 star is because of the wash out when the camera begins recording. From what I've heard, this will be addressed in an upcoming software update. This will probably end up being re-installed at my Grandfather's house since his floodlights need replaced and we need a camera to cover his backyard. As a family we have installed several Blink cameras on the exterior of the house and a couple on the inside so we can make sure he is ok. The investment into these camera's has been much less than I would have paid for other brands, so that makes these more valuable in my opinion. I dont think you can go wrong with this floodlight camera.

First off "wired" means you are going to connect this item directly to electric wire, not plug it in to an outlet. Have an electrician or handyman who is good with electric install this. It's not unattractive but it's not a decorator style light you would want in the front of the house. I had a wired floodlight in my backyard and we replaced it with this light. The handyman moved it so that it would attach to the patio and light up the area where someone would enter from the back gate. It's pretty bright! Even though it is directed towards one side of the yard, there is enough light that it lights up the whole backyard. There is an app that allows you to turn the light on and off. Seems simple but I like being able to turn the light on and then take the dog in the backyard instead of going in the backyard and then the light turning on. The camera will record events; however, if you want to view the events you'll need to subscribe to the service. Yes there is an introductory period with no charge and after that there is a charge. I personally do not sign up for subscription services. I did do a little research and saw that if you purchase a Blink sync module 2 and a flash drive, you can store video clips locally. It was reasonably priced so I purchased but have not added connected yet.

I am extremely pleased with the Blink Outdoor Floodlight Camera. It was simple to install (in place of an existing floodlight fixture), it included everything needed for installation (including multiple screws depending on the electrical box, and it operates perfectly with no false positives on movement. This camera has caught videos of the moose munching on our bushes and aspen trees so I assume it would do the same with human intruders. Are the lights bright? YES! I have them set for 50% brightness and they light up objects (in color) at night that are 60 feet away from the camera. I have many standard battery Blink cameras and this is by far the best I've purchased.
