Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera (newest model), Wire-free smart security camera, 700 lumens, two-year battery life, HD live view, enhanced motion detection, Works with Alexa- 1 camera system

I love these cameras so a couple of things,there is a annual fee to be able to save and see the videos,the cameras do adjust and so do the lights they are motion sensor activated they show great quality even at night. I don’t have a problem with the fact that the motion sensors seems like you need to be a little bit closer to trigger the lights butt it might be in need of adjustment I’m not sure yet The batteries are needed 4-d batteries but they will last a long time but if you use certain settings it can affect the battery life.Overall I love these cameras no complaints.Also they are on sale on Amazon for less than half price so I would say get yours they are also very easy to put up on your house.

So far I have only set up the camera, downloaded the app etc and have had no issues. I have not however mounted the camera and put it to use. Regardless, I think the setup process was simple enough and the camera itself is a great size. The lights are bright and enough to light up the back patio which is where I’m placing it. Our yard is very large so I didn’t expect it to light too far so I’m happy with it lighting sufficiently in the immediate backyard area. The camera also seems sturdy. I wish the mount looked more secure, but I can update this review if I have any trouble or issues. So far so good.

Revised: after writing this review I received an email from customer service. He was able to show me where to change the settings for the lights (up to 5 mins) in the app. I had looked but apparently not good enough. So I have changed my ratings for the product and for their great customer service. Thanks Alex!I bought for the flood lights and thought it would be fun to watch the wild life. Camera works great but I thought the lights would stay on longer. They stay on about 15 seconds. We installed in the back of house where we walk the dog. It's bright enough but kind of useless when you're walking the dog in pitch black by the woods. I have to jump around and wave to get the lights to come back on. Maybe because they are not wired.

With recent crime and vandalism in my neighborhood, I wanted to get a garage camera to be able to quickly see any detection and movement in front of my house. This camera does not fit the bill - here's why:- Camera Delay and Feed Issue: After getting a motion detection notification, the camera feed takes anywhere from 10-20 seconds to pull up from the app. Not to mention, the "live feed" is anywhere from 4-10 seconds delayed. And this is IF you’re lucky. Most times it won’t even pull up the feed after you click on the notation notification. This is useless as a live-feed security camera, as if there were any malicious activity being detected, by the time you got to see what's going on, it would be too late to even intervene.- Motion Detection Playback: Motion detection recordings are incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes it will show you a playback that is less than 1 second long, other times it will just provide you with a highly pixelated screenshot that tells you nothing. Also, if you want to quickly see a recent motion recording, they won't show up in your recording archive for several minutes, again, not allowing you to intervene if necessary in a timely manner.- Camera Quality: Very disappointed with the visual quality of the camera. The camera is not smooth at all and often times the live feed will pause for several seconds while viewing. My first-generation Ring doorbell camera from 7 years ago has a better camera and audio than this!- Installation: With the number of parts this came with, I was surprised that it came with virtually no instruction, other than a QR code that took you to a very basic overview of the camera (not even the right one, at that), that had no installation instructions. I had to watch several 3rd party videos to figure out what I was even looking at in my box and how everything went together. The design is not intuitive at all.- Sync Module Issues: On several occasions when power or internet have gone out, the sync module disconnects but does not reconnect. You have to manually intervene and install the module which is never a quick process, and typically doesn’t work for several days. Devices like this should be designed to automatically reconnect - you shouldn’t have to play the tech guy to get things back up and running anytime there’s a connection issue.- Misc.: LED "on" light is incredibly small and dull and does not turn on unless motion is detected. To me, having a bright camera LED that's always on is a big deterrent for any prospective thieves. The setup just looks like a big floodlight and nothing else. Speaking of big, the whole set up is very bulky, due to the large batteries the lights take (which by the way, the lights should be solar powered anyway. Another design opportunity missed). The camera mount just looks like an afterthought they slapped on and the system does not look like a sleek, modern design that Amazon would put their stamp of approval on. It's an unattractive hunk of black plastic that looks like its from 15 years ago.Overall, I'm disappointed with the camera and would not recommend it. It is not effective in the slightest as a proactive security camera and may be more suitable for someone who just wants to periodically check on an area outside their house where a "live feed" isn't necessary, although, I'm positive there are better, cheaper options available. The only reason I'm keeping it is because the recording subscription service is the cheapest I've found and also, there are very few camera options that are both wireless and have a floodlight integrated... Although you'd be better off buying a higher quality camera and a separate floodlight to pair with it. For what you get, this should be half the price of what it is.Update: just had a questionable person who kept ringing my doorbell and wouldn’t leave. He eventually went away from my door but my garage (Blink) camera kept sending me notifications that he was still there. Of course, I couldn’t pull up the live feed and no recordings were available for review. The only time I actually needed them to. I had to rush home from work to make sure everything was okay because Blink once again failed to show a live feed. This camera is absolutely worthless.

My system consists of multiple Sync hubs and 10+ cameras and covers a physically large area with the help of a WiFi mesh router system. As a way to look at various parts of the property, the system is ok. But I regret purchasing because although very inexpensive, the system is quite limited. I say this for the following reasons--Scheduling can be done but is only available across ALL cameras on a given sync module.-Using one camera to trigger another is impossible.-Camera trigger time lag is a significant issue: Both the delivery drivers and my spouse are consistently nearly outside or outside the frame of view of the camera looking at the driveway entrance before the video begins. If you are attempting to catch time-sensitive or quick events, I advise caution.-observation showed that the AC powered cameras’ nighttime illumination was always on after dark and apparently visible to several nighttime animals (near IR?). This illumination can be turned off but renders the camera blind after dark in most cases.-if the local Blink camera system, I.e. sync module, loses internet connection, accessing the cameras, even when local, is impossible (our internet service isn’t the fastest or most reliable which highlights system weaknesses)-The camera system should not be considered a real-time security system.Bottom line- extremely inexpensive up-front cost, easy to set up, easy to use, but limited in capability and useless without internet connection.
