I love these Blink cameras. They were easy to set up, being completely wire free gives you so much freedom as to where you can put them. They are both indoor and outdoor which for the price (I bought the 3 pack) is excellent value for money. These cameras really give me peace of mind whilst away from my property. I have the app on my phone and iPad, so can view what’s going on at anytime. I bought cases and wall fixings separately after reading other reviews that the wall mounts are not sufficient. I would agree with this. Blink should either improve on the wall mounts or create ones that can be purchased separately to give the cameras a proper secure tamper free wall mount.Excellent online and phone advice when my router when down. Helped set my cameras up and running again.Also I never knew how much Wildlife visits my garden at night, I love this.

I love my blink system, battery life is great compared to others like Arlo and Ring which I had previously. Picture quality is also very good and is better than the others. Three features I would like to see in a future update. Sharing access to others would be great, where you can grant them full or partial access, other systems like Arlo have this feature. And the other is animal’s! So it recognises birds etc so not to send notifications for a pigeon! Again Arlo has the feature where you can set it to only trigger or send notifications for people, cars and ignore animals like birds. The other would be for the phone to ring when the doorbell is pressed so you can answer it live. Rather than sending a notification, by the time you get to it, the person has already gone.Over all this system is so much better than anything I’ve used before including Ring and Arlo. The added features I’ve mentioned would set it apart from the other systems in this price bracket.

We got the Blink Device and Monitor it is easy to set up to the Home Network and our Mobile Phones. It works quite well in that respect you can speak through/listen and see whoever is at your door. However, the door bell chime only works with Alexa and its Echo device. This is where it’s very frustrating. Going by the instructions you link it to Blink Smart Home by adding the skill to Alexa and enable it then click doorbell notifications on and it should be set. But no. You can see and speak thru Alexa no probs but chime does not work on the Echo. If you go on the software side for BSH the reviews in November are 1 star the reason being the door bell chime will not work thru Alexa that way and there are dozens and dozens of people who have stated this. Customer support online just repeats the initial set up It took me a long while but I figured out how to force the chime to connect. You need to go into Alexa and create a routine - choose doorbell press then add the sounds you want to ring. This is nowhere in the Blink and Exho instructions

Overall the app is fairly straightforward to use but I have a couple of frustrations.Firstly I have to maybe every week or 2 log out and back in as I notice that I have stopped receiving any notifications from the cameras. The cameras themselves are still picking up the motion and record a clip but the app stops sending alerts.Secondly and this is the bigger frustration, I have two cameras which over the course of a day record a lot of video clips, which is fine but I do not pay for a subscription and use a USB for local storage. It appears when doing this you have to manually delete video clips individually!! Rather than have the ability to select multiple then delete or simply “delete all”. This is really poor and I can’t help feel it’s an option that’s been disabled to try and force you to pay the subscription given how annoying it is to go through each clip slide to the left then select delete! This is an option that could easily be available but they have decided to leave it out.
