Great cameras - Rushed app that is missing key features and was clearly designed for other cameras.

i preordered 4 cameras without any reviews having been posted so i hope that this helps someone  first off the cameras are pretty nice very easy to setup and get connected and the price is just about perfect  the app is where things start to fall apart  it clearly was created for the other blink cameras that are battery dependent so most of the quirksproblems i found are probably necessary for battery savings on the other blink cameras  i have had cameras for well over ten years and have gone through several different appsprograms to access and store the video but i have never had an app that did not allow me to view all of my cameras at the same time this one requires you to select a single camera and activate it individually to view real time video  i assume that this was designed for battery savings but since these cameras are always on it now serves no purpose  additionally not having the ability to view all of my cameras while activated in a single 4 pane window seems a step in the wrong direction  for years i have been able to see live feeds in a multipane format and select the camera i want to zoom in on that one not with this appsecond tech support is at best not good  i contacted them regarding the ir light that apparently can not be turned off although you can turn it off via the app for the other blink cameras and the support tech actually stated that he did not know anything about these cameras and had to ask someone else  that was a first for me  the ir light is probably not a big deal for most but i have for years had an indoor camera pointed out a window since my front yard is pretty well lit at night and the ir light stuck in the on position make that impossiblei never review anything but i wanted to get the word out on this  i suspect that these cameras were kind of rushed and the app just repurposed so it my sincere hope that they will address the live view concerns in future app updates specific to blink mini owners  soon i hope  heres to hopingupdate  i was contacted by blink following regarding my review  they indicated that multiple people had voiced similar concerns about the apps realtime capabilities and they made it sound like they were developing an update to the app to address this  they also offered to send me an additional camera an older model that does allow you to turn off the ir at no charge  i asked directly if this would be in exchange for changing my review and they specifically did not ask me to amend this review  if nothing else that is great customer service
