I don't get the point of person detection. The camera learns to recognize who is in front of the camera. So what? I can do that myself, I don't need Amazon or Blink to tell me who the person is. If I can't tell who it is, there is no way the camera is going to know.

@@LM77va Person detection that I am familiar with, does not identify the person. It just identifies the motion as a person. That way when reviewing motion detection, you can filter it by general motion, animals, cars or people. It's just a tool used to quickly find whatever it is you are looking for. But I use Reolink and not Blink and Reolink may work differently. In my case my cameras categorize motion detection events in 4 ways. General motion such as the wind blowing leaves, cars, people and animals. If I know someone stole something out of my yard, I filter for person detection and then I can quickly skim through the parts of the video where it detected a person. Save a lot of time. Also, reolink requires no subscription.

@@BlenderRookie I see. I was thinking of facial recognition. I was wondering how annoying it might get reviewing dozens of clips each day.

Thank you and thanks for watching!

was literally like 50% off like two weeks ago

I still wouldn't buy Blink...

why wait for them to go on sale, just get a better camera now.

Yeah I got 2 blink 4 cameras and base for $90 with Prime Day. Even though they’re not the best in class, it’s hard to beat at that price. I would say decent at best.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I think they are playing with noise cancellation…this C210 has 2 mics.

Eufy cameras are a great option and no subscription needed. Thanks for watching.

Blink collects your data and sells it

I’ll check it when it comes out.

Eufy cameras as long as they are connected to the homebase, can be armed and disarmed as a group. Thanks for watching!

7 1/2 - 8 feet

When it comes out I will.

Thanks for watching!

I have no issues with mine. I have the Eufy Cam 3 in my front garage area and 3C in my side yard, detects motion 100% of the time.

I’ll check it out. Thanks.

@@LifeHackster thanks

For notifications, internet speed doesn't matter because it is just a small file size to send a notification.

@@LifeHackster I thought in order to get fast accurate notifications was with great Internet speed just like cameras they need great signal to operate and send signals to module or from module to cameras. Nice to know though

Snapshot in the notifications.

;)

Dude you are in the minority in the battery life of your Blink… I’m not sure what you consider “heavy” usage but I had my Blink XT before and lasted 2 years but in my side yard which only gets activated once a week, 30 seconds per recording. I tested the blink doorbell, lasted 2 1/2 months in my front door and this what I consider heavy usage because it gets activated every time we get in and out of the house.

@@LifeHackster wow thats insane definitely defective if so. the blink xt is old i dont have that maybe its different. i have the blink doorbell too maybe its also different, but i have mine wired anyway so idk about that battery life. so i'm specifically talking about the blink 3 cameras i guess. but why i say heavy usage is they get set off a LOT by wasps buzzing them. or at least they used too for the first 1-2 years. Cus I used to get the alerts and I'd get them constantly. And I bought these in November 2020 and they're still on the same original AA batteries. Blink is pretty trash though in every other area such as very poor video quality, very short live view, no PC App, and no person detection without sub (any cam without person detection is pretty useless for alerts). but the battery/ease of use is the one standout point, no other camera comes close (yet) that i know of. but yeah $120 is a joke. i want to get one of these c210 to see how long the battery lasts. 6 months would be good enough for me. but 3 months if true is pushing it...or it could also have a exchangeable battery pack that would be nice. still seems like a great option for 50 bucks. i wanna get one to play with even though i dont need it ahh nerd life...these wifi stand alone cams are convenient, but another big drawback to battery cams is 30 ft pir distance whereas wired have 100 ft...

Good idea, l have replaced all my Blink cameras with Eufy cameras. No monthly subscription with Eufy.

yeah because i did and ring and blink keeps giving false detections and it gets annoying over time

I did 2 years ago. Blink was horrible in every way. Had 12 of them and basically gave them away. I was so fed up.

@@IMiss_The90s I just got my eufy dual doorbell 2k wired with AI dectection about couple months ago I love it

That's the appeal of the Blink modules, but it's not worth it. Local storage is not really local, its just a back up that only seems to kick in once the data on the cloud is uploaded at the end of the day and even then that is spotty. You can get an alert fairly quick, but if you want to actually see what's on the feed, get ready to wait anywhere from 20-40 seconds. It's a product designed around the cloud, and if their servers act up you are even worse out of luck. You are better off going with a low key Wyze at this point (might need a 3d printer or 3rd party cover to make it all black), as at least each module has an SD card in them which stores the video right then and there, and can be accessed from the app. Even better, if you hardwire it with a USB cable, 24/7 recording, which auto deletes the oldest footage in favor of the new.

@@deuswulf6193 I'm going to look into that. Thanks.

Blink Outdoor cameras use a PIR sensor so FOV of the lens doesn't matter in its detection.

Omg. Snow

You have to go wired.

@@LifeHackster You live in Arizona I think. Here in Canada we have to take the weather into account. Outdoor wired cameras are a pain to install and are not a solution for me. The Eufy solar is pricey, even on sale, and placement would be problematic for me. The Blink cameras, despite theirs obvious limitations, are a simple solution for outdoor. After a year (and obviously a winter) my two cameras still show « OK » on their battery status after 14 months of use. In november, I will put fresh batteries to be sure to go through winter without problems. When buying them on sale and using local storage, they are a relatively cheap solution, even taking into account the cost of a pack of lithium batteries once a year. Really like your work. Bonjour from the province of Québec. Au plaisir.

@@denisbouchard5158 I totally agree with you. I have 3 blink cameras, I live in the UK so yes we get cold wet icy winters too. Don't fancy getting ladders out in winter to change the batteries. Like you I've had my batteries in my cameras way over a year and there all still good. 👍 I will put new ones in probably Nov time too. And the lithium energizer batteries are not that expensive to buy on amazon. The eufy camera does look nice & clear footage but if the batteries only last a few months that's a no no from me. 👍😉
