    Best Camera ever!

    I bought these cameras after a crazy event with my neighbor and recommendation from a young employee at Best Buy. I love these and am glad he recommended them! They are economical to purchase and there is no monthly fee. You can talk on all of the outdoor cameras. When I travel I love that I can check in on my house. I know who is coming and going. (I have teenagers) I can control the cameras, arm and disarm, and set the sensitivity area and trigger time all from an app on my phone. I can also download and share the video whenever needed. I can get good angles on my house without being constrained to the ring door bell angle. I have one that covers my whole yard. The batteries are supposed to last years. My front has a lot of use and the batteries lasted a year. The replacement batteries are just lithium energizers that I bought replacements for on Amazon and were not much more than regular energizer batteries. These cameras work with Alexa since they are amazon compliant (I don't have Alexa), but you do not need it to work. I just have the blink app on my phone. I love that I can remove them when I move and take them to the next house since they are not installed into my doorbell. I have one indoor and 3 outdoor. My regret was not buying all outdoor cameras. They are worth the extra money so that I could have added it to my front when there was another issue with my neighbor.

    I have a few Blink camas installed outside of my vacation home in another state. It’s great to keep an eye on things, but a few times after being alerted I wish there was a way to talk to people knocking at the door or whatever. What a great surprise when Blink announced that it was bring out the Xt2! It has a few other battery saving options, but the speaker was the best part! I swapped it out with he old one and I can now talk to folks on the porch if necessary. It even fit on the same bracket (although the FAQs said it wouldn’t.). I’m coming up to two years in the fall and have yet had to chance a battery. Theses camera are great!

    This totally wireless camera works great. I have it mounted on a tree facing the front of my house and takes great video both in daylight and darkness. I have bought 2 more.

    The Blink camera is as good as it gets for the price. It’s very easy to install and even easier to setup. We liked our first one so much we got a second. The 2nd night we had our first Blink we caught a guy at my truck. He looked right at the camera I’m guessing when he noticed the blue LED light up. That was at 3:03 AM. Long battery life is a big plus.

    Got this Blink camera system for my home. Got one camera set up in the side of the house and one set up on the front entrance. Both cameras deliver clear video day or night. I can watch live stream on my phone using the blink app without any issues and also having the ability to talk to anyone at the front entrance as needed. I’m including a picture of what you see while using the app. The set up couldn’t been easier. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase, and highly recommend this system.

    These cameras are very compact with great video quality and superb audio as well. They have night vision you can even make out different faces with the night vision activated. They alert you when motion is detected, they only record up to 60secs of video. IT DO NOT OFFER CONTINUOUS RECORDING. They run off two double AA batteries but i ordered a 30ft micro usb from amazon so mine are on continuous power.

    If you are looking for a simple system that anyone can set up, then this is the camera for you. I've had this system for a few years now, and I couldn't be happier with it. When Amazon came out with the two way audio version of this camera, I immediately redeemed the Geek Squad protection to get this one. I have one at my back door and one at the front. I can holler at my dog if he starts barking like crazy at squirrels on the back door and safely chat with visitors at the front door. The camera quality is absolutely awesome, and the motion detection is very sensitive. Overall, for a camera that runs on 2 AA batteries, I'm very impressed by this system. I recommend this system to everyone I can.

    For battery operated cameras, the optics and the cameras reliability exceed my expectations. Easy to set up. For the most part, their customer service is easy to access and most agents seem to be very knowledgeable of there product. So far the system has been reliable producing very few false alerts. The only issue I encountered too date is that one of my cameras had to be rebooted. This required me to take out a ladder, remove the batteries, then replace the same batteries. From my perspective to date, the Blink - XT2 system is certainly worth the money!

    I bought a set of these on recommendation from a neighbor and I couldn't be happier. Within an hour of getting home with them, I had 5 of these and the base up and running providing complete outside coverage of our house. The Amazon Alexa integration works well with these cameras allowing you to control when they are on, alerts for motion detection and a lot more. They have great picture quality, decent battery life, extremely easy to use and a snap to install. Overall I couldn't be happier. This system is a really good value for the price.

    I first purchased a 3 camera system. I now have a total of 7 cameras so they cover the entire exterior and some of the interior. I plan on buying at least 2 more. This is a great system, alerts to motion are fast and the video it captures is very clear. Night vision is a little lacking but I'm still very pleased with the ease of set up and operation.

    Originally bought the 5 pack to monitor the outside perimeter. Bought 3 more add ons to monitor our street and our garage from the inside. Have you ever left the house and asked yourself if you closed the garage? I have and had to turn around to check. Now I can just check online to put my mind at ease. Simple install and use. It all connects to your wifi and you just need to download an app, whose setup is user friendly. I love that it's wireless and works off batteries that you can easily replace. There is a few seconds of delay in real time.

    I really like this system. i have 2 blink xt's already, they perform well, are easy to use, inexpensive and DO NOT require a subscription to use. I needed one more and this is the new model, i can add it to my existing module so I didn't have to buy another one (saves clutter as well).

    I bought this camera to add to my two camera system. Overall for the price, you can't beat it. Easy to set up the entire system, pretty much plug and play. you can add up to 10 camera's per module, for most this will work. I just purchased a new house that is 98' wide so I may need another module because of the distance between but these are great. The only thing I would like offered is if the camera came in white for interior use. They do have a plug in camera in white but with the battery model giving you two years battery life unless you can put the camera on a shelf, high on a wall with a battery would be a better option. Buy these, you will not be disappointed. FYI, I actually bought my original system in December '19.

    I bought this camera to add to my previously purchased set of 3. It was super easy to set up as the other ones were. The only issue I have with these cameras is that I don’t think you’d ever be able to effectively use the feature to speak with anyone because by the time you get the notification, whether it’s a UPS driver, stray cat, or burglar, the person will be gone (however, I don’t think I’d ever use that feature). The video quality is great during the day, and fairly decent at night. The Blink app is also super easy to use and as long as their video storage stays free, I see no reason not to get these. All in all, these cameras are great for anyone looking to add a home security camera system without wanting to drill holes and spend a ton on it. My only concern is whether or not these cameras can withstand a Wisconsin winter. I guess only time will tell.

    I have had 2 for about a year and recently added two more. A nice camera with all the necessary features for a fixed camera: watertight, easy mounting and setup, good day light color, good night sight, albeit black and white IR, storage on the web (no or little local storage), relatively frugal on batteries, available solar and AC hookup at extra cost. The power is the big downside: in order to keep the batteries at their advertised 2 year life, the movie shots are rather sparse, with a length of 5 seconds and a full minute between shots. With the settings I am using (10 second length and 30 seconds between shots), I am getting about 6 months. Those settings are enough to tell between a cat, a raccoon, and a skunk on a patio. (I only worried about the last, but he was only seen once.) But I wonder if it would get me enough to catch a thief (no opportunity yet, none desired.) I would also like it available in white. The black hides well in trees and corners, but rather stands out on my white siding. Lastly, the reaction time is a bit slow. It takes about 2 or 3 seconds between movement and picture startup.

    I love having a Blink camera monitoring who approaches my front door so I bought another for the back of the house. Side note: I never knew how many feral cats walk across my front garden, until I installed the Blink. Fortunately I discovered that being able to set a viewing area really helps to limit the area triggering the motion detector which helps preserve battery life. More important, made it so that if the motion detector is triggered in the middle of the night I'll know there's something much bigger than a cat on my front porch.
