    Purchased this on sale for $79 and it is an awesome buy. We stay in an apartment and we park in front of unit. The camera is able to pick up activity at the door and 20 feet away at our car. I can zoom in and see the license plate.

    These have been a amazing investment. No more suprises of who is showing up when we are not home. You can also block off parts on the screen (where a flag flies and captures movement that you don't want recorded)

    I love them they show get. You can download the app and get it on as many as phones as you would like. If you're on vacation you can still see what's happening at your house. I would recommend these cameras to anyone.

    I love the fact that although these cameras are small, you get a wide view of the room in which it was installed. The directions were easy to follow and installation was a no brainer. If I can install them, anyone can.

    Nice little cameras. Easy to set up. 2 complaints though. No Windows desktop app and no way to leave the camera views up for monitoring.

    It has been a great system so far. I have had it for 8 months. One of the camera went off and Blink replaced it next day. Also, Wifi can be sketchy on them so finding that out was tricky. But overall works great.

    Both of my children have these cameras and liked them so that is why I purchased them also. Very good price and love shopping at Best Buy. They always have good sales and the employees are very helpful and polite.

    This system is great on value if you can get it on sale. Image quality, even at 1080p is not the best. Some cloud storage is already included (i.e. no monthly fees), which is enough for me.

    These were affordable and super easy to install. With my son at home doing distance learning, I like that I get notifications to my phone when there’s motion at our doors. And no monthly fee is the cherry on top!

    The camera is great you really get an easy experience with very little maintenance. But sometimes it does get knocked off connection if power goes out and requires reconnection to your WiFi network.

    I bought this a year ago and still haven’t changed the batteries on it. This thing lasts forever. Good motion detection, sync with IFTTT and a Nest of Life360 to auto-arm or disarm when you leave or return home!

    I bought this to use on a recent trip and it worked very well. The sensitivity and clarity are/were on par with other more expensive systems out there. For my purposes, it worked quite nicely and I would highly recommend to others.

    when it comes to safety, we need record. installation was too easy to make my wife wonder she did it right or not. durable material with waterproof function. no wire, just need good AA size battery for 2 year use.

    Live view was very jumpy. App crashed several times a day and had to be restarted. Took it back and got an ARLO system and purchased a second soon after.

    I picked this up and after 2 months almost 3 i have no issues. Best buy put the camera on sale a few days after i bought but was gracious enough to give me a price match. Works with what he needs to do for me!

    Only downfall didn't come with adhesive to stick to wall only came with screws and have to drill into wherever you wanna place the camera. I tried double sided gorilla glue tape and fell off the wall within a day

    Purchases on August 11 2020. Didn't open the box to use it until February 2021. Worked great for a few weeks. Then one camera just decided not to connect anymore. Worked with it for hours and hours. Googled the crap out of the internet for an answer. Basically there is no answer, dozens if not hundreds of people run into this issue, and I guess the only solution Blink offers in the end is to replace it - under warranty. Obviously I'm not under warranty anymore, so I'm SOL. No jazz hands here.

    Is an ok camera but it doesn’t seem to capture all movements. Some car pulling in driveway it won’t show but a large truck it would.

    • Brand response from Blink
      Posted .

      You may want to try adjusting the sensitivity on the cameras within the camera settings in the APP, this does sometimes take some guess and check depending on where the cameras are placed. We would also suggest adjusting the angle of the camera as well if possible, noting the best motion detection occurs when a subject walks across the field of view from one side to another rather than directly toward or away from the camera. You can also obtain customer or technical support, including system status, at http://support.blinkforhome.com.

    Good camera for motion detection

    Still going strong ever since the date I have bought this. However, from my experience, I would have to give this product a 3 star. The only flaws are that you can only view the footage and live feed on your phone unless if you want to look at the footage on your computer you would have to install a phone emulator software like bluestacks. THERE IS NO PC SUPPORT! You can't continuously view the live feed is a major drawback. To summarize, this camera system is more better for motion detection and not for continuous viewing.
