I bought this after trying TP link and and it works much better. Have initial set up I have not lost a connection. Slight delay like with any camera but much better than the TP link one. Cost a little more but well worth it. Video is very good. Night time video is also very good. Motion sensor seems good. Only thing I don't like is it asks you repeatedly if you want to continue to live view so it saves battery. I would buy this again.

I put my cameras up a couple weeks ago. The set up was pretty easy although the directions weren't as spelled out as it should. I eventually figured it out nonetheless. I have 2 of the the cameras inside but their facing the outside so I can see the porch and backyard. I don't have the other cameras mounted right now. I need help to do that. I liked the price. When I missed the first sale I was upset but made sure to grab them when they went back on sale. The video quality inside/outside is good. The night vision and talk features are good too. The one thing I would critic are the alerts are not as prompt as I'd like them to be and it's not real time like I would like it to be only when you click the live button. When I do get an alert, I'm not able to see why it's going off. I'm able to get an alert for some things that happen across the street (walking, cars passing, etc.) but if a car parks in front of my home or moves their car I don't get any alert of any motion going on. As well as when I come and go parking in my driveway nothing triggers an alert. I figured if I can get an alert for stuff across the street, I should be able to get the same alerts for things going on directly in front of my house. Lastly, for the price, I expected at least for the stickers/sign to be included in the set. I had buy all that separately :(.

These are perfect for our weekend cottage. We can monitor the goings on and the video quality is great. We have several angles and these worked well during some recent thunderstorms. Had to play with some of the settings as they were too sensitive, but once that was set, we've been quite satisfied. Install maybe took 10 minutes for all the cameras once I got them connected to our internet system.

Very simple to setup and attach the appropriate mount to the house. Syncing to the blink system was quick and easy. Just scan a few QR codes and name the camera and it's basically all set. Settings already established are perfect. Can be tweaked for longer video if needed. Also allows for what is picked up to be altered, so you don't always get alerted when there is just a passing car, etc.

pretty decent quality camera in well lit conditions. night vision is okay and helpful. don't expect to have good clarity up to probably a range of 5-8 feet. the software and its capabilities meet my needs and the actual installation was easy. the base station range is very good. no integration with Apple HomeKit. i like the system.

These cameras are great for the price and are very easy to set up. The picture quality is fairly decent and cloud storage is a plus. I do believe they are now charging for cloud storage now but I purchased my first cameras before they made that change, so i am grandfathered into a free account.They are very reliable little cameras and are easy to use with the app.

Very easy to set up, did 3 cameras in 15-20 minutes. App is very good. Several sensitivity levels could be selected for each camera's, independently. Cameras go off even with a vasp or high wind. Have to figure out how to tweak sensitivity for these false alerts. Have had these for only a month so can't comment on battery life yet. Overall a good product.

Got the camera to get a view of critters. Has better motion zone blocking than Ring and sensitivity to motion can be adjusted. Has lithium AA batteries which are great for low settings on motion and video length but increased settings and length should have an external power supply which can be plugged in and then use lithium batts as backup. Good videos. Camera syncs to a module which syncs to your wifi and seems to respond faster than Ring to my phone. Works also with Alexa. Knocked it down a star because I used up the batteries testing setting adjustments and motions so once you have exterrtnal power to it the batts should last 2 years. Alkaline batts will not power it properly.

The set up is extremely easy. Installation mounts are great and very easy to work with. Video quality is amazing. Audio quality is decent but not perfect. But, compared to other cameras I think the audio quality is about as good as you can get. For the money, you cannot go wrong with this system. There is no reason to spend double the money for the Arlo system.

Personally amazing camers and the beta app to go along with it is so much better than the regular app. I would recommend adjusting the sensitivity as every single moth makes the camera go off. In addition, two users cannot view live camera feeds at one time.

The setup on these cameras is incredibly simple. Scan the barcodes on the devices and the rest is automatic. The cameras are wireless. You can put them anywhere and change their positions whenever you like. The cameras can be scheduled. The cameras only take video clips but the length is adjustable. I highly recommend Blink!

This camera works very well, and was simple to set up. My biggest complaint is that the camera system does not allow you to determine a time that it is active or ‘armed’. My kids play outside where the camera is located and if I don’t disarm, it runs the battery down due to high usage. An option to set a timer would be great.

I was trying to choose between these an Arlo. Both are wireless, but I chose these because they were cheaper and wireless. The connection is seamless to my home network and the video quality is good. Night vision works well also in complete darkness. The option to talk as you see thru the camera is amazing. So glad I went with this option instead of paying $400 for Arlo.

I bought this camera because I wanted to be able to see the front door of my house. I get a lot of packages and I wanted to be able to check on them and make sure they are ok. This camera has great picture quality. The HD picture makes everything really clear. It also has night vision after dark and is still just as good picture quality. The audio is also very clear when talking to someone. It was also SUPER simple to install. No more than a screw driver is needed. The issues I have with it though are first, the picture is delayed a bit when it starts recording. From the time that it detects movement to when it starts recording and then alerts you that someone was there, often times the video doesn't show anyone or just as they are leaving. Also when talking to someone the audio is REALLY delayed. Its about a couple seconds between pressing the talk to button and talking to when the person on the other side actually hears you. Also it does integrate seamlessly with Alexa but on my echo show 5 it has issue showing the camera. That may have more to do with my internet than the devices but even still that is an issue. In all it is a great camera and the flaws I listed are minor. Also buy them on sale. They are pricey but usually on sale a lot.

Had a lot of property theft in our neighborhood, was looking for a security camera to protect our home and the Blink system was exactly what we wanted. Wireless system, no wires to run, easy to install and set up. Clean video with sound, motion sensor activated. Exactly what we needed!

The night and day views are GREAT! We live in a downstairs apartment and have moderate foot traffic around us, so the 5 cameras were the perfect amount. We feel a lot safer now that we bought these cameras. Very affordable and easy to use/setup. We have definitely recommended these cameras to family, friends and neighbors.

Let me start by saying I love these cameras. At a cost that won’t break the bank, these cameras are perfect. Video quality is excellent and audio is decent. Audio/two way talk is a nice feature that you can choose to enable or disable per camera. Each camera can be configured in the app individually which is nice. Options to adjust night vision, enable/disable night light, blue light, sound, notifications, picture/video quality and zoom. Also has ability to ignore certain areas within the frame and adjust camera sensitivity to motion. App is extremely basic which is my only complaint and I’m hoping over time it gets a new look. I like that I can set a schedule of when I want to enable/disable recording in addition to manually arming. I bought the 5 camera system with 2 cameras on the front, 1 on my porch and 2 on the back of my house and they cover my whole house and my neighbors directly in front/back. (House is 2 story on a decent sized lot FYI for Ideas on area of coverage) Money well spent

I bought this camera to use outside and then move into the new baby nursery in a few months. We have not placed the camera outside yet but did test runs with it indoors. Picture quality is quite good as well as the night vision. Use of app was overall fairly easy. We are looking forward to using this as a baby monitor.

In fairness, I live in Florida and my house has a stucco finish. Why does that matter?? it is built with cinder blocks then a metal screen is fastened to allow the stucco to stick. This acts like a "Farraday cage" and blocks much of the wi-fi signal - I lose connection to my cameras regularly because of this. This same principal likely contributes to my battery life which is about a year, as it searches for a signal. The actual units work very well even at night using I believe infrared... I had a previous 5 camera system with this extra sync module I was attempting to provide a stronger signal (2 signals required - 1 to sync module, 2nd to wi-fi) - Each sync module has a separate group of cameras, I did not see a way to sync them together. This is ok with me because I can activate the traffic areas and leave the secondary zone at a manual setting. Only real negative is the squirrels found it tasty and nibbled on it.
