This is an unbiased review and "how to" look at the new Blink camera system. It is a must see video for anyone planning to purchase it. This camera system is not a one size fits all type of system. It's time to find the truth about Blink.
Please also watch part 2 of this video for a more detailed review.

Great and informative, you’re the first one to mention that the camera work s in a blink kind of mode instead of continuously recording.

Very small recording clips. Almost not worth saying it records. Then there's a delay, for the next recording to start , if motion continues. This a little nicer than the average baby monitor. If you want to record for 10 seconds to 90 seconds, or a few minutes, get Ring.

You've touched key points that others either didn't know, overlooked or simply aren't skilled enough to mention. You're very smart at presentation honestly touching key points whether good or wrong. Now I can make an informed decision (because of you btw) regarding the purchase of this thing. Thank you so much

Thank you for an honest and informative review. I have 9 Blink cameras, six outdoor and three indoor. The key to getting the most out of them, for me, was adjusting each camera’s settings for it’s specific location. For both day and night viewing and what might trigger each one. Motion is best detected when it crosses the camera (left to right or Vice versa). Something moving directly towards it won’t be detected very easily. But, you covered all the details so people can make an informed decision about Blink camera capabilities. Greatly appreciated.

Blink is very limited for recordings. You will not catch a thief with 10 second gaps between 7 second recording clips. They'd be in and out of camera view. It's a good baby monitor, for the whole room tho!

Just wanted to say that the original mounting bracket that came with the camera does swivel so you can have your camera at different angles not just straight as you mentioned. I was about to purchase that other bracket from Amazon but when I was opening my new blink camera, I notice the original bracket does swivel around. Saved me more $$$ on something that I don’t really need.
@TeachMe101
@TeachMe101 3 года назад
Cool! :-) Thanks for mentioning that fact. Yes. You are correct it does swivel. I'm so glad you saved money and that it is working for you. Awesome! I just like the versatility and features of the other better. Thanks again for reaching out to me. :-)

I liked your video but I mainly subscribed because of the awesome news themed studio you have set up. Great video thanks for the info I just bought the 3 camera blink system seems to be good only issue I am having is every once and a while it says sync module offline and I have to unplug it and plug it back and it goes back to working. I only had the system for 24 hrs and it has done it twice already. I have yet to arm it because we haven't left to try it out. Is this a normal routine for the blink to go offline I guess to save battery consumption? Thanks again for a good quality video. That skyline reminds me of back home in NY.

When wyze v3 detects motion there's no lapse and it records and gets it. I can live view all day long 24 hours a day on wyze v3.. I may use blink like a trail cam around property.

Can the Blink camera be powered by a low voltage AC adapter instead of using batteries? It may not work for all cameras but if AC power is closed by, say on the front porch, this option can be a lifesaver for battery life during live-streaming.

This is a wired system that will allow you to watch the footage 24/7. And the Blink is ok for outdoor wireless security. But please also consider the Reolink Argus: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DaQ5dbrOB8I.html I've installed a lot of these. I think I like them even more than Blink.

Hi Dy'Zonn DyJour! Thanks for the comment and question. Yes. I personally prefer a wired system. Spending the extra money for a 24/7 recorder is always the best in my book. Most of these systems will also give you the option of recording continually or when it detects motion. They don't require batteries and will work with or without WIFI. As for the Blink camera... yes batteries are available for purchase. Wireless cameras are still good if you are not able to run wire throughout your home.

Blink works great if you accept the quirks. I have a bunch of them and they work great to let you know what is going on. For actually security, I use hardwired cameras on a separate system. For the money, they are fantastic and much much better than nothing. It is NOT bulletproof.

Hi bro, I've bought the blink outdoor single camera that came with sync its module. Can this thing record without internet connection? Please could you kindly test that for me? I want to use this on holiday where there'll be absolutely no internet access. I just want to leave it in hotel bedroom to watch over my stuff. Both camera and S. Module will be about an inch apart if not even less. I'll power sync module with power bank and use flash drive to locally store any motion triggered recording. Is this possible at all? That's the main reason I've got it anyway. But I plan to use it when I return back to Europe btw. Thanks in advance

Hi Rov D. I'm excited about your trip and I hope you have an awesome time. But... Blink cameras can't operate offline and require a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Internet connection. One important reason is because cameras use Wi-Fi to send images and notifications. Blink systems minimally require a high speed connection of at least 2 Mbps upload speed. Maybe you can use something like this for the trip: 32GB Hidden Camera Clothes Hook, Mini Hidden Camera HD 1080P No WiFi Needed Nanny Cam, Security Camera with 32GB SD Card Recording for Monitoring Home/Baby/Pet No Audio smile.amazon.com/dp/B08BLH84BX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_2ZN3BQEAY6VTRRCHMH97 Be safe out there!👍

great video!! I have a question. If the setting is set to record for 60 seconds and it stops recording and the retrigger time is set to 10 seconds.....does that mean that you will have a 10 second gap in the video footage....or maybe what I am saying is that there will be a 10 second gap between the 2 video files?
@TeachMe101
@TeachMe101 2 года назад
Yes you are correct. You will have a gap in your recorded footage. But it could be longer than 10 seconds depending on the movement of the subject. I think they are working on increasing the length of the recorded time but for now there will be a coverage gap. I don't like that. In a higher security situation, I would purchase a camera system that allows 24 hour recording. It's going to be more expensive but what can we do?!.... Thanks for the comment and question.

Hi, I bought the blink indoor camera got the 30 days free, and have tried contacting blink and Amazon about the "Amazon cloud service" that I need for the subscription plan. One says to contact the other it's like a ping pong game back and forth "Contact them no contact them" Do you know how I can get The Amazon cloud service and which one for the blink mini indoor camera.

Hi Tracy! Once a camera has been registered to an account, you'll need access to the app to remove it. Unfortunately, you may need to contact tech support. support.blinkforhome.com/en_US/contact-support I'm so sorry I couldn't help further.

What if a neighbour or someone nearby has a blink camera too, would they be able to link to your sync module and effectively spy on you? Or is there some kind of password system?

Hi Frank! That's a great question. There should be no danger of that happening. Each Blink module is password protected and they are connect through one WIFI network at a time.

Big question here. I bought the Blink outdoor camera recently(within the last 30 days). I use it in my kitchen. I have several instances when my camera has been set to record because it detected motion-which was my grandson(s)/my daughter etc. On several of these videos I hear a mans "voice" cutting in...sometimes I can't make out what the garbled statement is, but on others, I can. My grandson is getting the younger grandson a drink in the kitchen...my grandson is close to the camera and I hear a "voice" say "Adam"...kind of drawn out and creepy. On another(when my grandson is in the recording)-it is garbled but I swear this "voice" says "I'm going to get you"kind of in a whisper creepy way...on another, my daughter is walking to towards the camera and this "voice" says "whore" kind of drawn out low voice. I have questioned Amazon about this and how/why this device could be compromised and WHO is this person "hacking" into my devicesystem/camera/Blink. (Do they sell your info or anything to "creeps" out there)? Very worrisome when a child is involved as we all know what is out there and how often children "go missing". Well, I sent these videos to Amazon at their request and all they had to say was "Thank you for the response , Can you try to relocate the camera and observe it, please? Please let us know how it goes. Regards, Frances Bien Blink Technical Support -My camera is in the kitchen corner and there is NO WAY anyone or anything can be behind it, so WHAT DOES MOVING MY CAMERA HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS MAN/CREEPS VOICE MAKING COMMENTS THROUGH IT THAT IS THEN ON THE RECORDINGS WHEN I VIEW THEM?!! There is no one else in the kitchen besides those on the cameras recording after their motion set it off. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS? NOT GOOD!!

Hi Chella. I'm so sorry to hear about your difficulty. My heart really goes out to you. I can offer you some possible fixes. Try these: Let's increase your security by - 1.) Changing your password (use letters, numbers, and symbols). A digit password would be great. 2.) Allow Two-Step Verification (Find this under "Your Account" then click on "Login & Security") 3.) Disable the microphone on that camera (use the settings on the app) I hope these help. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
