    Not enough storage or battery life

    I've had mine up and running for a few weeks now. It's okay, but not what was advertised and not as good as the other reviews led me to believe. It comes with free cloud storage. Cool. But it's a tiny amount of storage and there's no way to upgrade it, even for a monthly fee. That works okay for a game camera or a small backyard where nothing ever happens, but it's terrible for keeping on eye on my home on a busy street. I spend time every day deleting videos to try to keep at least the last 24 hours of clips on it. This is a miserable feature for any surveillance camera system. The movement detection on it isn't great. Either it misses people walking by up until they're almost out of the field of view, or it's so sensitive that a light breeze activates it. You have to turn the image quality way up because of the wide angle lens distorting the image, but that takes up even more storage capacity. The white balance on the images is terrible. During the afternoon, anything white colored is completely washed out and you can't make out any details. It only records clips for 10 to 60 seconds at a time and then it has a gap before starting the next clip. So, when the police knocked trying to pick someone up on a warrant and needed to know which house the person went into from the car on the street, I couldn't tell them, because the camera recorded the car pulling up and parking and then stopped recording while the person got out of it. To get the camera up to sort of kind of useful, you have to turn on enough features that the battery life goes from the advertised "2 years" (suuuuuure... if it's off the whole time, maybe) to less than a month. I've already replaced the batteries in mine once. And speaking of that, because it uses lithium AAs, when they start to get weak the voltage falls off a cliff and the camera software doesn't account for that. So you get notified that the batteries need to be replaced, and then 20 minutes later it stops working. This camera was convenient to install and pick up and there are some applications where it would work okay, but it's not a good option for general-purpose home security.

    These cameras are well worth the price they do exactly what they say they do and much more plus they come with Energizer batteries which is a plus they last for two years if you have your settings minimized and not fully functional with everything working.

    I bought these to use inside or home while we were out of town and had contractor working inside. The audio and video clarity is impeccable. The two way audio and expandability capability for indoor and outdoor use makes this product a must have for home security.

    Its does the job, but night vision blurry and you would need to have light set near to get a clear image and the batteries do not last long, unless it's not alarmed most of the the time.

    The system was easy to install. From out of the box to completion, it took about 1 hour. I'm 70 years old, so some of you younger ones should be quicker. The cameras are super clear and have a fast response. I would recommend the Blink Surveillance System to everyone.

    Best money I have spent, inexpensive & yet the best I've seen, Some of my other friends home security which they pay HIGH DOLLAR monthly rates, doesn't come close to the charity & features this camera provides. and STILL on my 1 battery it came with from Dec. 2019

    Easy to set-up, using an app. No wires just mount, sinc, and go. One tip, only arm cameras when not at home to help with battery life. Lithium batteries can last a while, but if it's activated all the time it will die quicker.

    They are super easy to add to an existing system. The weathertight feature works well. They stayed up and functional in a driving rain storm. Field of view is good although no zoom. They can be a bit expensive for what they are.

    I really like this camera. I had the Ring before, I prefer this one, especially because of its shape and size and that you don't have to pay a monthly fee. The app is easy to navigate has a few more settings than the Ring. I would recommend this camera to everyone!

    Bought this setup for my mother and she loves it. No subscription service. The app sometimes gets out of whack but just uninstall it and then reinstall it and log in. Like I said great for starters or ones who are not as tech savvy.

    I chose this camera system due to the wire-free option and there is no charge per month for video storage based on my usage. I have used these cameras for years and would recommend it over any other camera out there.

    Blink cameras are the best. We've purchased quite a few extra cameras at this point. I love that you don't have to pay for a service/monitoring plan. The app is also very easy to use. These cameras compliment our alarm system very well.

    This is a nice system but your wifi has to be good, othewise, it is spotty and doesn't capture everything as described. I like it, even though my wifi is not great and I have since purchased 2 addl cameras for this system.

    I love these puppies. Have them all over the house. FYI: these aren't the newest models... They have a new one that offers local recording on a USB drive.... They really do last a long time. Make sure to use energy lithium batteries...

    I purchased the 2 pack of cameras and they have been working absolutely perfect! Couldn’t ask for a better camera to protect my house! Battery life has been great! The customizable zones is very useful! Live view is an awesome addition to these cameras!
