Blink Security Camera System Review and Tips

I will watch this whole video but my question is how far can the cameras be away from the brain?

Does it make a high pitch sound on both the phone and camera when talking. My dog hates the canary system

This is by far the most useful and informative video I’ve watch in regard to blink cameras thank you. I’ve just ordered two sets for our house and for my in-laws here in the UK. 👍

Any want let me now how many feet the camara can record and take notice when some body car pass anything got my car parking like 60 feet away or my house don't now camara sensor work good take anything happen and the sink card to thank you

Hey Doc, How have the Camera's been holding up? Have you upgraded any to the new Gen 4 version and if so how do you like them compared to the Gen 3's. Thanks, Brian

We really appreciated your video and tips. This is our first time using security cameras and Blink was highly recommended to us. Your video made it so much easier for us to adjust settings and gave us a great overall picture of how well they work! Thanks again!🙂.

Thinking of getting this system and your review helped me. Thanks

I just bought 3 blink cameras and am getting ready to set them up tomorrow. This is a very helpful video and taught me just about everything I will need to know to get it up and running. I especially appreciated the info on battery life (and settings). Thanks for posting this video.

Excellent video. Very helpful. Thank you.

Are these 3rd or 4th gen ? Are 4th worth the extra money ?

Thank you

Best doc visit... except no lolli 🍭

Great video from the module brain to the camera whao the maximum distance i can install it

blink sould pay you for this video

This is well done and informative. If I may, is there a way to isolate one camera that you want to allow other third party's access too while keeping the balance of your cameras private viewing? Thanks.

How do the batteries do in the cold??

I recently bought the 5 camera system, little upset that I spend almost 400 and now bestbuy has it on sale for 219 lol, but I love these cameras. They have better night view then my zmodo cameras do. Definitely want more of these when I get a house. I highly recommend these cameras. Only problem I have is the slight delay in motion during live view and the continue question while viewing live but these cameras are very nice

The majority of people have heard of cameras - They take still pictures or video. The segment most interesting and worthwhile about 'these' types of security cameras is to do with storage, access to it and any mandatory subscription costs, if any, involved. Subscription free local storage was mentioned but nothing about how to access it or how much footage in terms of quality or duration is stored etc.. So, 19 minute video with 10 seconds skimming over the most important feature.

What's your opinion on the two way audio?

You must have powerful WIFI reception...

Salam to ALL. Thanks, you just helped me to make my final decision to buy. Subscribed and UP. I like the way you explained, speaking and you are likable great man, THNKS AGAIN.

I recently bought two minis and the sync for my apartment. I use them facing out the window (and they work great). i am still using the free subscription but once it ends i will only be using the sync…. My question… is there a way for me to see live views of both cameras at the same time when I go into the app? Thanks

That was a very thorough and informative video. Thank you for creating and sharing. It greatly assisted us with making a decision on our purchase.

When you talked about the camera mounts, the only one that you showed or really explained was the one that you do not prefer. I would like to know more about the one that you do prefer and where or how to obtain it

Just bought a Blink system. It seems sufficient so far. I have had a couple of instances where I could not view any live feeds. Each time I would try to view a live feed, I would get a still photo with a play button icon in the center of the photo. When I would press it, that play button would flicker for a split second, and then return to the same still photo with a play button as before. I found the problem to be the third party WiFi that I was on at the time. That network was blocking the live feeds. Once I figured that out, I turned off the WiFi on my phone, and no longer had that problem.

FYI - The first generation of Blink indoor camera does not have a phsical internal swtich setting to control the blue Status LED or any software option.

Cool Doc,I like your styles...& I'd have the same amount of cameras as you fella,if I had the same amount of really nice properties.Good luck too you.👌

Dam, Now I Need More Cameras! Great Video Doc! Thanks.

How wide of a area does a camera cover. That's the only thing you didn't cover for me. Your video is the best of all the Blink video's that I've looked at. About 8.

Does the system let u know if battery runs low ?

U did great on your review. I'm going to see on purchasing a Blink system. Thank u.

Can you have the signal from the camera captured by your local wifi without being sent to a cloud or any where else, then hard wire router to PC & then control that PC with your phone remotely ?

Man I’ve bought 10 so you just fibed

Did you have to update your wifi system to get the ones that far away from house?

Best camera review ever in life

Great video.
Really good info. I've purchased 4 cameras so far based on your recommendation. I just need to install them.
Thanks

Wow. You pack a lot of helpful, understandable info. Thx.

Thanks Doc!

I don’t have those settings .Must need a subscription.?

Scheduling. If I have Cameras and a Doorbell and 1 Sync module. Is there still only 1 schedule? Or does it allow a separate schedule for the doorbell?

Doc, my cameras lately only work sporadically. They worked constantly until I moved in here. Any suggestions? Thanks

I’ve had my 12 cameras since 2016 and learned from you today on setting them for better use; thank you. You seem to be quite successful and have multiple properties, what kind of work or business are you in? I know you give lawn maintenance info and successful knowledge on how to improve your lawn and maintain a green and manicured landscaping. Thank you for all you do for us😊

So I have one on the way, hasn't shipped yet actually but my only concern is internet and space capacity of the cameras. I ordered the 5 kit one.

I plan on activating it while I'm away at work or out to run errands MAINLY .. now If Im away and my phone is OFF for any reason will it still be recording live? until I get back home to wifi?

Capacity? do we NEED like individual micro sd cards for each camera to save to certain cameras? example! : camera 1 catches a thief stealing my package, but the space runs out so footage is erased or not recorded.

Hopefully you or anybody gets what I mean.

I wish I could use one in my car AWAY from home but I think it HAS to be in proximity of the wifi box right ? Example 4 cameras at home. 1 in my car when away from home. Will the camera still work in my car as long as I have my phone with it? or its only powered around the wifi router?

Love our blink system. If you had them for over 3 years you should be grandfathered into the free unlimited plan. I have 1 system with 10 cameras and haven’t paid a dime in fees. I started with 5 cameras and get some add ins when they are on sale. Usually about $30 a camera.

Thank you. This was very useful I’m getting one for black Friday

Fantastic, thorough video. I was really worried about the wifi range because everything I've read states 100 ft, but I believe you more when you say the range is 300 ft. Thanks for the video.

Thank you you are so helpful!!

Just an fyi, if you have poor upload speed they won't trigger a lot...

I love my Blink system.
