Blink Outdoor with two-year battery life | 1-Camera System + Blink Mini Indoor Pet Camera (1 Camera) | Motion Detection, Blink Subscription Plan Free Trial

Sync Module 2 makes set up a breeze - though it's a little disappointing that if you wanted an indoor and outdoor "network" for your cameras if you wanted to have your indoor only turned on via "arm" setting in the app, whereas the outdoor to come on automatically (also able to be set on by the app on demand) via a schedule every night. The cameras are easy to position and adjust, and work as I'd expect.The reality is that these systems are best described as a modern version of the old fashioned security lights. They're not going to prevent crime (as they're not likely to be aware its there if it doesn't have a flood light!); they're unlikely to help solve it either in the majority of cases (again, at night, it's unlikely to be amazing evidence for the police unless something was close to it). As the Police have pointed out - people expect that having one of these means crime can be solved easily, or will never happen. Neither are true statements. However, peace of mind is valuable, and this can definitely provide that.So what it will do is ping you alerts when motion triggers it. Whereas the old fashioned security lights would just illuminate the area and you'd happily sleep through it, these actually alert you, and better yet, let you see *what* it was that alerted it. That's really useful.First thing to note is that even at high setting, the detection of movement is good to about 6 or 7m. Beyond about 7m it didn't even alert/record myself and the police officer walking up the yard to the house in midday daylight. So it'd have never caught the thieves who stole the vehicle at a range of 20m from the house (and it absolutely wouldn't have provided any means to identify them either at that range anyway). So, temper expectations.The night vision works *fine* in the limited range, as long as you're not expecting to identify the type of earring people are wearing. No, it's not going to be as clear as day, obviously, as night "vision" requires *some* light to work anyway - and as the range increases, the illumination from the led is less effective. Again, it's more about motion detection with an alert and ability to examine, than post-crime evidence. Use floodlight option as well, but I'd recommend having a power connection.If buying for the purpose described above, it's great. Really, it *is* great. The cat can wake me at 2am when it wants in. It will give peace of mind if you really think people are rambling through your property overnight (they aren't). Just remember that the "night vision" still requires light to work... just very low levels of it, and you'll likely need to replace batteries frequently. The "2 years" is in the case that it's up and not triggered at *all* for 2 years remember.The battery *may* die fast if you intend to have it armed/on all the time, or checking lots of "live" views to check in and so on. You can (in the app) set zones to ignore and so on to try and improve motion trigger issues - and think where you place it (e.g. central heating exhaust + wind means it can trigger with white clouds coming across it's view). My recommendation is set schedules or turn on when you leave, that way it will be on when you *need* it to be and the batteries last. The rest of the time is pointless.The indoor camera is excellent as not many indoor ranges are great, but I only ever have that working when leaving the house (as a means to alert to entry). I hope it never gets triggered :)So, overall, after buying in a sale, its worth it as long as you buy being fully aware of how it works and not expecting incredible 4k footage and daylight conditions in the dead of night. Expect what it is - a glorified motion detection system that gives you peace of mind, and *may* be useful in the event you were an unfortunate victim of crime.Also, you can just use the app to shout at people via the speaker if you're so inclined...

The Blink Outdoor 1-Camera System with two-year battery life, paired with the Blink Mini Indoor, has been perfect for our home security needs. The outdoor camera is weather-resistant and gives a clear view, even in low light, while the Blink Mini is compact and ideal for indoor monitoring. Setup was straightforward, and both cameras connect seamlessly to the app. The cloud recording option is a great feature but comes with a cost. We enjoyed the free trial period but now use a USB memory stick for recordings and alerts – an easy, cost-effective solution. Overall, this system has been reliable, easy to install and network and perfect for our needs. We have had this for about a year (12 months) now.

Easy to install, good motion detection, good picture quality, good sound, quite good night vision, could do with improved lag, in saying that I have seven cameras throughout my home, external/internal, I find it a very competent good value system with good technical back up

Outdoor camera good, but battery did not last 2 years with just average use. I think I replaced the batteries after 16 months. Apart from that, great camera. Indoor one is a bit useless as it doesn't move round, so can only point it at one area.

Great product and so light to put up. Love Blink camera such good quality

I’ve had 3 cameras installed at home now for many months and they have been working flawlessly. They were easy to install, simply slapped the app and following the onscreen instructions and they’ll be up and running in minutes. The battery life is amazing, many months in and still over 50% remaining on first charge. I’ve used the module so didn’t need the cloud storage though that worked as advertised and was easy to cancel after the free month was up. Highly highly (not a typo!) recommended.

Blink cameras are a real winner, great price compared to Ring cameras, easy install, work with Alexa, battery operated and half the price of the Ring alternative, no brainer

Massive letdown.Didn't record motion when I needed it to. Sound was poor. Battery life days not months
