Outdoor Blink Camera Isn’t Outdoor Camera

Outdoor Blink Camera Isn’t Outdoor Camera I Can’t sleep day and night from I get lots of false motion alarms from the inactive zone. Causing have nightmares additional comers not motions detect for human or animals just alarm when sound cars away from camera or any sound like rain or windy weather and shadow from cloud changes or sun lights and tree grass but when human motions in area or animals not recording any thing which mean reason we have security camera to catching thief or human or an...

Blink's customer service SUCKS!

It took almost 40 emails and close to one year to get Blink to replace one if these outdoor cameras that went bad just 3 months after getting it. I gave them very detailed information about the camera and their system everytime I sent an email but they still told me to continue trying the same things over and over again with different techs. I have set up more sophisticated systems at one of my jobs and their techs didn't understand half of what I detailed. once I finally proved their camera ...

Does It's Job and Excellent For The Price Point.

The camera and sync module were easy to set up. I purchased after market mounts as the ones that come with limit the angles in which you can adjust. For me it was all in the planning. There was initially a bit of lag, but my house is fairly large, so I got a wi-fi extender and that all but eliminated the lag. You have to play around with the sensitivity otherwise bushes swaying in the wind or a friendly moth flying in front of the lens at night triggers an alert. The daytime viewing is crystal c...

Trash

There are many things people need to be aware of first when getting this. There is no playback options. The cameras only capture 1 out of 10 motions. You can not have local storage (SD card or usb) and cloud storage at the same time. More then 1 person on the account can not be viewing the cameras at the same time or it will say the camera is busy. There is a VERY NOTICEABLE click sound that happenes every single time it starts to record when night vision is turned on. So don't think you'll be ...

Blink Security System

I love it! This security system is so easy to install and setup...I was up and running in approximately 20 minutes. For the cost...I am very pleased with the picture quality and adjustability of the IR feature, length of recording time, motion sensitivity, Wi-Fi, and battery based power...practically every aspect is customizable. Just the fact I did not need to run cables through my attic was a huge relief. All maintained from the convenience of my smart phone. I would have expected to pay ...

Works okay, but I have a peeve…

Video quality appears nice, but there’s apparently no option to simply watch a continuous live feed. It gets old clicking ‘resume’ every 30 sections in live view, and combined with the extended live view option not being available on these cameras is a downer. I understand the battery depletion concern if they run that long, but I have them plugged into AC power, not battery, so it makes no sense that when plugged in it’s not available. I have had mixed results with motion detection, which is al...

Poor battery life

I purchased the cameras on a combined sale and bulk (5 cameras) that was 70+% off the typical price for a single camera. Many rate the camera high especially with regard to quality, features and functionality. Unfortunately, the wireless power/battery feature is very poor when used in a typical motion detection or moderate traffic scenario. They claim a battery life of up to 2 years, but outside of a standby mode or rare trigger situation, it can be as little as 1 week. Adding to that, the r...

Works "iffy" at best

Bought the 5 camera system from Lowes 6 months ago. Set up was not hard, cameras worked ok for about the first month. Since then I am constantly having to reset the cameras by removing the batteries. The motion detection may or may not work and I have no idea what triggers it but standing directly in front of it looking into it should but doesn't always. It'll go days at a time with no notifications. I've had to delete and reload the app several times due to it freezing up. Most neighbors and fr...

Great customer service & easy setup

This product works great overall. It has a straightforward set up process & the app that it requires is simple & very easy to use. You can see clearly in the image the camera provides, easily switch sensitivity, length of video & video quality. When we purchased the product & the reason for only 4 stars is because someone else must have purchased & previously set up the product as it kept giving me an error when I tried to set up. I did however have to call customer support which only took a few...

overall disappointment

like the total of the review, I am overall disappointed and not only with the cameras but also with myself for spending such a large amount on them. these cameras have so many cons it totally outweighs any pros possible. no playback. just have to hope that the camera has detected all of the motion... which is probably hasn't because it really only detect like 1 out of every 10 movements. you can not have local storage and the cloud at the same time. 2 people on the cameras (that are linked to th...
