I recently purchased the newest Blink Video Doorbell, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The setup was incredibly simple and straightforward, even for someone who’s not super tech-savvy. The step-by-step instructions in the Blink app were easy to follow, and I had it up and running in no time. Video Quality: The video resolution is excellent, both during the day and at night. The infrared night vision is a fantastic feature, providing clear footage even in complete darkness. Motion Detection: The motion detection works perfectly and sends timely notifications to my phone. I appreciate the customizable motion zones so I can avoid unnecessary alerts from passing cars. Two-Way Audio: The two-way audio is crystal clear, making it easy to communicate with visitors or delivery drivers. Integration: I love that it integrates seamlessly with Alexa, allowing me to view the live feed directly on my Echo Show. Battery Life: The battery life has been great so far. I chose the wire-free option, and I haven’t had to recharge it yet, even after a few weeks of use. Value for Money: This doorbell is an excellent value compared to some of the pricier options on the market. It has all the essential features I need without breaking the bank. Overall, the Blink Video Doorbell exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use smart doorbell, this is a fantastic option!

After the 30 day free trial ended. I began to have issues with the camera. I’m unable to view live feed I can only see if someone triggers the camera.

Actually the temporary cloud you get when you first turn it on is not bad. The ongoing fees if you want to keep it are above average. You can DIY it by using a synch module - which you really have to have anyway, a usb power block, a usb cord and a usb drive. All of this clips into a cheesy holder and the whole thing plugs into a socket. Elegant design it is not. It occupies about 6 inches high by 4 wide and 4 deep of wall space. A strong cockroach can knock it out of the socket. But, it does store your clips at home and you can pull the drive and send it to whatever cloud you have via laptop or desktop. The video bell is easy to install with 2 screws. Setup is just shoot a pic of the QR, and give it a name. It will not make any notification inside! Buy ( are you getting the idea blink is a kluge ? ) one from many retailers or use Alexa ( guess what kids you must buy this too) , for which there is a skill and multiple chime sounds. [ or hardwire to your old school doorbell chime I may do this when it stops snowing. Wait, I live in FL, no snow, I am never going to do this]. The picture is fine although 1k rather than the latest 2k. If you wait a bit you can see it on your phone, though I find Alexa faster. There was supposed to be a one button push for iphone and android notification so you do not have to unlock phone, start app and click on view. I have not found it yet. Batteries. Yes you need them and they are why I bought this ( already having a blink setup). My old doorbell non blink cams use 18650 which need charging every 3 months or so and die between 2-3 years & require the most expensive $20 a pair 18650s. And I was not about to install doorbell transformer, wire and chimes which allow running on 12-26 volts AC but this is an option. My other blinks have run since 2021 without the bother of recharge on AA lithiums as does this. The AAs cost $20 a pair. I am happy. The voice com for you and visitor is clear, nightime view ok, you will recognize your Mom. Motion detection works well. Hey Amazon, Alexa, Blink we all know you are the same corp. - make the synch module a neat desktop saucer shape thing with cord and plug or even cord and power block. That wall wart thing is nasty. Guess what ? You can even add micro usb storage. Guess what what? Put the $%*& thing inside next gen echo view). One star off because Prime delivery guy would not install it. ( actually guys thanks for walking up that 2 story ramp to house every time I buy something). Update: Customer service. Wanted to have doorbell image come up automatically on bell push. Found a couple of u tubes on how to implement but due to poor eysight and worse hearing could not implement. Tried cust support. Asked me to allow them access to setup to help arrange. Did so, then got new rep telling me She, was taking over. Well 17 emails back and forth it ( it had to have been an IT bot calling itself Jen, paid no attention to anything I said) blew me off saying it could not be done but what a great idea would let the IT guys know. Right. See google for proof it can be done. Zero for you Jen and blink cust svc. Update: blink vust service emailed again and asked for third time what I wanted. Repeated whole thing and refered them to 3 videos showing what they said could not be done, could be done. They responded by sending me links on how to set up alexa. As I have bern using alexa for 3 years this was of course useless, as apparently is blink support.
