I love the smaller ones for indoor use to catch people coming and going but for outdoor use, I use a regular system with a DVR. The reason being is that they're always recording so you can catch the motion long before it reaches the camera to trigger the recording.

Installed it myself without any issues. The wifi signal is great even kzfaq.infoUgkxE_D_sddGAdiVUKp7PkkmyxO7bRtgqmk5 when the router is located far away. I really enjoy the night vision feature that allows me to see clearly any activity near our house (mostly cars and wild animals). The motion detection is helpful to me as well to monitor what happens on our front.

I recently purchased the system with the 5 cameras and I love it so far. I also bought 2 blink mini's

Very happy there are videos telling the truth about this useless money burning crap. Bought these and spend more time looking at nothing. Dark mode is useless. People walk right in my yard and the camera did absolutely NOTHING! Other days it takes a 10 second clip when the movement continues. Then again other days.. it takes a 18 second clip and there’s NOTHING there!

What is the wifi distance e please and is there anyway to make it long range

does the camera disconnect when the wifi cuts out?

can you view the camera footage on two different phones at the same time?

Great review please may I ask do you still recommend as read many negative reviews if not run on a subscription and the app is not that great yet looks very user friendly on your review.

Question, I was lead to believe you can use your Wi-Fi on your phone to make it work. How do you connect the sync module if you use it for a regular vehicle (not one with UBS) or traveling i.e. Hotel or Trade Show Booth type scenario?

The Blink outdoor cameras takes AA Lithium batteries ( longlife) and you can buy different fixtures and brackets to secure the camera to your property now. They are okay for the price, but I have found that they sometimes don't always record when you most need them to. Generally they are pretty good.

Hi RMG - I was thinking of installing the blink cameras on my motorhome for an upcoming trip to France. 2 questions for you - 1 do you think that would work and 2 if we are away from the motorhome, on a walk for example would we need to leave a phone in the rv to provide internet? I mostly want it for when I am parked up at night with the blinds drawn to see what's going on outside if we hear any suspicious activity.

Hey , I want to send a North America blink outdoor wireless to india , can I watch the blink session from here in North America?

If I am using it wirelessly will it only record if it is connected to WiFi?

We are interested in Blink, however if we have to scan a QR code to initiate and or have Alexa involved then no. Can we do this setup without qr and the other privacy invader

Have had 3 of these cameras since december 2022. For the first month, they worked great. I accepted the free trial for the monthly subscription for cloud storage. Once the subscription ran out though, and I opted to not pay for it and use a USB stick for storage, it has been really bad. They dont record anything at night after 10pm. Its like the performance of everything is intentionally dialed down by at least 50% to make customers more inclined to pay the subscription. If I had known this, I never would have bought these. Buyer beware. These cameras actually arent very good at all...

Where is your video on the alexa device please?

Can i record video in external hard drive 24/7 ?

any tips for getting better video at night? Seem really dark

I’m not one to normally comment , but after recently purchasing this with as a three camera system it’s absolutely awful. It picks up events seconds after it’s happened so you end up watching nothing. It will only catch events if it’s happening about 3 or 4 feet from the camera if you’re lucky. Do not expect this to catch people pulling into your road or onto your driveway etc. The battery will not last long if if you have lots of motions as it basically picks up everything that you do not want to see. This would only really be good as a back up /glorified door bell camera in my eyes. Once again. Do not buy this camera if you are wanting to protect your vehicles, driveway etc Personally I would recommend Tapo devices, My indoor Tapo cameras which face looking out of the windows are amazing. They pick up motions, cars pulling in, people, basically everything from a huge distance away. Do not waste your money on the blink system. 👍

Can this be used indoors?

For f....ks sake , its a camera running on batteries , why would you want continuous recording ? Your batteries will be depleted in 3hrs! Lets not forget the workload on the base station and flash drive when its doing write operations on video files.

Can't believe you missed the #1 downside to this camera. If you live in an area with allot of power outages, the camera does NOT reset itself. So if you are away there is NO WAY to reset it. It becomes a worthless piece of equipment. Most especially don't get it for a 2nd home or if you travel allot.

Never buy blink, it's complete trash had mine for a year now I hate it, I change out the batteries every 2 weeks, haven't done it in a mo th they ha e all been dead. The flood light camera keeps notifying "floodlight connected" the light is a pain to get to even come on and other times it just goes off for bo reason. Another thing is the live feed to checkout the live feed take a good 15 seconds to just pull it up, it goes off and I check to see who it is, the ups guy is gone before I can even get the POS to open. Not happy with it. Use their door ell camera that's it. Invest I. Something more expensive it will drive you nuts more then it will give you security. The privacy zone flat out do not work.
