Total garbage. These are not "Security" cameras. They're toys for spotting wildlife.

oh boy where do i begin ive had blink for about 2 and a half years now and thats 2 and a half years too long the main thing that drove me to this in the first place was that i didnt have to hardwire anything and setup was very easy i could deal with paying a subscription in place of dealing with setup i have 3 outside cameras and one doorbell cam heres a list of problems ive had with it but first ill start with the pros relatively affordable easy to install and setup pretty modest battery life i did not use any solar options links up with alexathats it every other pro i can think of isnt exclusive to this system the bare minimum is not a pro such as being waterproof or having notification snooze now lets start with the cons absolutely awful motion detection its honestly baffling it cant spot a car going down the road which takes up a quarter of the camera but can spot a shadow of a tree branch moving a quarter of a mile away cant capture the mailman coming up to my door cant capture a car parking right in my driveway aka almost the entirety of my driveway cam cant capture people walking on my front lawn oh but it can capture a bug on the shed sometimes i get alerts and i see no movement at all straight up phantom recordings ive played with the sensitivity and there is no sweet spot between capturing actual movement and capturing literally nothing at all and alert spamming my phone detection zones simply do not work at my first house i have the entirety of the road blocked off from detection yet it captures every single car passing my house i have just the bottom third of my doorbell camera not greyed out for visitors or people in my yard cant capture them though major issue  retrigger time it has a minimum of 10 seconds what the f why is zero not an option if someone is actually trespassing on my property and the recording stops they have a 10 second window to do something or move somewhere and i am none the wiser ive contacted blink about this and they simply have no desire to reduce or remove this feature these cameras could be 100 perfect but having this feature would immediately make me discard these im a moron for keeping them this long another major issue  the amount of time it takes to view a camera as i get an alert dude i purchased a doorbell camera i should immediately be able to view whos at my door the second i get the notification that it was rang or motion was detected how long does it take though roughly an entire minute more than enough time for someone to think nobody is home and leave absolutely worthless piece of technology whats the point of allowing someone to talk through the cameras when this is the response time i should mention my docking station is probably 15 feet away from the doorbell end recording when movement stops yes please sounds like a great way to get the maximum recording time except this feature also does not work not only will recording start when say a deer is standing in the middle of the cameras view straight up disregarding any portion of the deer walking into frame sensitivity set to 9 btw but will end when the deer stays still for half a second or even when the deer is still moving my only other option is to set clip length to 60 sec which straight up kills the battery life sometimes i can get lucky and see the delivery guy walk up to my porch but recording will end as he is still walking again what the actual heck is wrong with this system this might be on me but my storm door swung open on a particularly windy day and hit my doorbell cam the cam immediately broke and i cant be bothered to replace it because i dont even want it anymore may i also say my storm door is captured by a spring so i cant imagine it even hit the camera particularly hardso thats it nearly everything this camera system has to offer just sucks or flat out does not work there has been only one time in my entire time owning them where i was glad i had it but even then i was blessed with its pitfalls and discouraged that i could not have a longer clip i moved and brought the cameras with me as a temporary solution while i hardwire my house with cat6 and get some proper security cameras i dont even know what to do with these blink ones when i get new cams theyre fun for capturing animals that sit 3 feet in front of the camera but horrible for capturing humans the entire reason why i bought these i highly highly discourage anyone from buying these and blinkamazon should be ashamed of this product
