Really easy to set up. App was a bit confusing at first but pretty easy to figure out. Only thing I don't like is that it records in "clips", but being wireless that's probably a must otherwise the batteries would need to be replaced often. Good quality on sound and video, even with night vision.

This is our first set of security cameras. One morning we noticed someone had been in our back yard during the night and left the gate and shed door open so we figured it was time to get some cameras. I bought these because of the reviews and motion detection. Night time vision is pretty good. I do not leave armed all the time though...just during the night. I like the the app that we use to setup the cameras. Lots of great configurations to play with. I like that I can set the hours to be armed and disarmed. I am home all day so I am not worried about motion detection during the day. There is a 4 to 6 second delay with the cameras but that doesn't bother me. Cameras are easy to put up and setup. No drilling holes and running wires so it was easy. I do wish I had 2 or 3 more so buying the bigger pack would have been better for us. All in all I am satisfied.

This my first time purchasing an outdoor camera system. I wanted it because I didn't want to have to put in new outlets to plug them in. For that they are super simple to install. They give a super picture and short clip. The motion sensor seems to be a bit slow, but overall it all works fine.

I really couldn't be happier so far with this purchase. Set up and installation was a breeze. The quality of the video is very good. The ease and use of the app is perfect. This system is lacking a couple functions that some high end cameras use, such as location functions, but for the price, a great product.

Easy to use, easy to set up and easy to maintain. Bought these cameras for my parents who just recently started getting tech savvy. Installation was quite easy. Picture quality is decent. Best part about cameras they're battery operated so makes it easy to maintain.

Easy install. Long battery life. Really sharp camera quality. App works well. Affordable compared to competitors, and of equal quality. I also own a Ring camera for the office and I rate it below the Blink camera on nearly all of the above measures. What more could you want?

Bought these cameras to monitor residents of independent living house. I originally purchased a 12 camera system with NVR from a company that i found out was in China and that camera system wouldnt arrive in time before residents moved in. I bought these cameras and was able to pick them up the next day. Decided that these would work well enough to monitor residents when no other staff was in the house. These cameras show clearly both in light and in the dark. They have audio too making them a great purchase along with them being Wirefree, this is the best feature! Cons: No nvr hard drive to record longer footage, only short 30 sec-1min recordings, but you can click on liveview if you just want to watch the going ons. My batteries will probably run out quickly because of all the activity in the homes, but that is not a problem, ill just buy more batteries and install them. Bottom line, im pleased with the 2 camera sets i purchased for 2 different houses. Watching from anywhere is another great feature i love, thanks Blink!

Love that you don’t need to pay a monthly fee. You get free temporary storage and it runs on Amazon Cloud. A little laggy and catches motion 90% of the time. Easy set up, wireless, takes AA batteries, app is free and works well.

These cameras are great quality for the price. Very clear pictures and the two way talk is awesome. You can put the blink app on your phone or ipad and you can talk to who every sets it off and they never know your not at home. The night vision is also good quality video. The phone app is very user friendly.

This system is very simple and effective. I have one camera over the garage door aimed at my driveway and front walk and another looking at my back deck from the 2nd floor. They were easy to mount, I screwed them into my vinyl siding with the provided screws. The downside is that it eats up a ton of battery if you live view the cameras so they are best for getting notified of movement and checking the notifications in 5 or 10 second clips (there are other options but those are my selections). I purchased an outdoor power cord from Amazon but haven't used it yet as the battery is still holding up (even in the sub 30 degree temps lately here in MA) and I don't have a convenient outlet to plug it into currently. The hardest part about this camera is opening the battery door on the back. I was cursing up a storm trying to open it the first time. It takes a good amount of force to get open.

Great cameras. Easy setup! I have about 8 of these cameras. I have them inside and out. Night
Vision isn’t the best but manageable. Customer Service Sucks! Battery does not last 2 years if you have a lot of traffic flow of cameras.

Great picture and Sound and easy to use. Mounting these is not as easy on a brick home with the small mounting hardware. I haven't quite figured out the sensitivity yet, I will receive notifications but it misses the event that occurred on the camera.

Great camera, couple of complaints. This camera has great quality in the video, I can even hear what the neighbors are saying across the street when it records. The included cloud storage is enough to keep videos for a fair amount of time.
The issues: getting the movement areas setup correctly and angled so that it is not constantly going off for every minor breeze was a hassle. I finally got it to a setting where it is not always going on but it also does not record until someone is about halfway up my driveway now. I had to purchase an aftermarket solar panel to plug into camera also because the batteries, even the good ones would constantly have to be replaced. Since I installed the solar panel ( It was $27) I have not had to change the batteries once and it has been 6 months now.

My son showed me his, and I just thought it would be nice to have. (I bought my own) Easy to set up, and actually pretty good quality. I'm not a power user, more of a hobbyist. It was a good purchase. I especially like the fact that it is totally wireless, or you can wire the power to it.

Setup was easy as well as positioning. Great picture. Has some nice options in setup. Option to reduce sensitivity in some picture areas doesnt seem to work, but hey, i still think a great buy. Would be nice to have sd card option. Just cloud storage now which is quite a bit

I purchased 2 sets of these (6 cameras). I already had an Arlo System, which is great, but I wanted more cameras and the cost for Arlo cameras is much more. Thought I would take a shot on the Blink XT2 and am glad I did. When I got these, I decided to put the Arlo and Blink next to each other to see the picture quality. It was very similar eventhough my Arlo is on 720p. The Blink had a slightly better picture.
I find the Arlo software easier to use. The Blink cameras make a clicking noise too, whenever they trigger from nightvision (if there is enough light, they don't make the clicking noise). Also, the Blink have a blue light that comes on (you can shut this feature off, which I did), that comes on when they start recording, which I found annoying. Last think I want to to draw attention to the cameras when they start recording.
For the price, you can't beat these Blink XT2 cameras/systems.

If you're looking for a wire free, no mess, wifi, HD video camera this is the one for you. I hate the delay and something no connection when attempting to do a live view. It doesn't always catch when someone is at the door.

Very easy to set up and great picture. The only thing that I don't like about them is there is a delay in the view. It does not give you a live view. There is a few seconds delay.

I really liked these cameras when I first set them up. They are easy to set up and install. I've had them for almost two months, and I have noticed a decline in detection. Initially, the cameras were a little too good at detecting movement in certain areas, so I had to play with the sensitivity. A few of them are working properly, but the most important one for me seems to take too long to detect motion or at times it detects nothing at all. This one has the highest sensitivity setting of all the cameras installed. The other issue I've had is that it now takes too long to load live video from most of the cameras. When first installed, live play was quick to access. It's disappointing that in less than two months, some of the great qualities of the cameras have already been lost.

Following the directions, the setup of the cameras was easy. It easily slips into your wireless network, not complicated. The scheduling works well (you really do not want it running 24/7--battery).
I've got mine setup for Motion detection. I was able to setup zones to ignore (nice).
By default, Night Vision is enabled. With it enabled, a small red light appears to assist in lumination. If you have enough light (I do), you don't need it. I disabled Night Vision and I have nice color night recordings. Saves more battery.
I don't like: the physical camera is not secured. I can easily walk up to it, pop it off and be on my way. Mount it higher than most people can reach and it's good to go.
I don't like: the price. For a 1 camera/1080p system, it's quite expensive. I needed a 2 camera system and bought another stand-alone camera.
