BlinkReviews of blinkforhome.com

Ein Stern ist noch zuviel. Ich besitze seit Anfang 2024 das "blink 2"- System plus eine outdoor-Kamera (Batterie-Betrieb) plus Synth- Modul. Die Kameras liefen - ohne Abo- sehr gut über die App. Ich lebte bis Mai diesen Jahres für 2 Jahre in den USA und konnte regelmäßig die Aktivitäten in meiner Wohnung mittels Handy sehen. Jetzt habe ich eine neue email-Adresse und neue Telefonnummer. Die App bietet an, "Konto erstellen"- das tat ich und seitdem geht gar nichts mehr. Erst chat-support und die verwiesen auf den telefonischen Support. "Laura" unterbrach mich ständig und ich musste alles 3 mal erklären. Mehrfach machte ich Fotos von den Geräten und habe zumindest bei einem Gerät noch eine Kaufquittung gehabt, die ich denen ebenfalls eingescannt habe. Eine apple-Emailadresse akzeptiert "blink" nicht. Die anderen Adressen gingen auch nicht. 2 Tage meines Urlaubs sind ergebnislos verstrichen. Zudem wird man von "Blink" auch noch ungefragt "Geduzt" ( ich bin fast 60 Jahre alt) . Die Geräte kann ich jetzt in den Müll werfen und "blink" ist nicht an einer Lösung zu meiner Zufriedenheit interessiert. Die reagieren schlichtweg nicht mehr. Wofür werden solche "support"- Mitarbeiter eigentlich bezahlt?

Camera stopped recording after about 2 months. The FAQ is pointless because it doesn't help you troubleshoot the issue. Scam of a doorbell camera

Rispetto a molti fortunatamente il collegamento alla rete funziona, forse perché la mia non ha il funzionamento a batteria ma solo con alimentatore. Le notifiche arrivano dopo qualche secondo, ma se la vogliamo utilizzare come videosorveglianza lasciamo perdere devi per forza fare un abbonamento, mi pare a 3 euro mensili, altrimenti ti devi accontentare di cliccare "Continua" sulla APP. Non è interfacciabile con nessun altro sistema di videosorveglianza su NAS, tipo "Synology" o "QNap" o altri che non conosco penso perché non abbiano implementato il protocollo ONIF. Comunque tirando le somme se le vostre esigenze sono di controllare qualcosa per poco tempo massimo 5 minuti allora per quello che costano funzionano ma se volete usarle per videosorveglianza lasciate perdere andate su altri prodotti. Se avessi letto le recensioni invece di acquistare ad impeto avrei risparmiato 16 euro su Amazon, "certo non riescono a venderle!", ma comunque la lezione l'ho imparata, assolutamente mai più BLINK se vogliono che acquisti ancora questo marchio deve nevicare all'inferno.

Ich kann Blink leider nicht empfehlen. Beide Kameras haben komplett den Dienst eingestellt. Sie lassen sich nicht mehr einschalten, obwohl sie am Strom angeschlossen sind. Es leuchtet keine einzige LED mehr – die Kameras sind nicht mehr nutzbar. Anstatt die offensichtlich defekten Kameras im Rahmen der Garantie auszutauschen, erhalte ich vom Kundensupport immer wieder neue technische Anweisungen und soll ständig weitere Tests durchführen. Ich bin kein IT-Techniker. Ich habe die Kameras gekauft, um sie zu nutzen – nicht, um stundenlang Fehler zu suchen. Besonders ärgerlich ist, dass ich währenddessen weiterhin ein kostenpflichtiges Abo bezahle, obwohl ich die Kameras seit längerer Zeit gar nicht nutzen kann. Für mich war das eine sehr enttäuschende Erfahrung. Ich werde keine Blink-Kamera mehr kaufen und kann vom Kauf nur abraten.

I agree with all the reviews, as all the reviews are negative for any number of reasons. I have had all the same issues and to top it off, my 4 outdoor cameras are all at least 8 ft above ground and I am 4"11" and 84 years old. I need to get a relative over here to climb the ladder to get the things down and make the correction. What a pain, and an often big delay in fixing the problem.

Recently, I changed the name and password of my home Wi-Fi network. My Blink Sync Module and all of my other Blink cameras were successfully reconnected and are working normally. However, my Blink Wired Floodlight Camera remained offline. After contacting Blink Support, I was informed that there is no way to remotely place the camera back into setup mode. Because the camera is installed approximately 25 feet above my driveway on a solid brick wall, the only solution is to physically access the unit and press the reset button. I cannot access it with an extension ladder, so it might be higher than 25’. As a 62-year-old homeowner who lives alone, this is not something I can safely do. I also learned that the floodlight itself cannot be controlled by the wall switch and is only controllable through the Blink app. Since the camera is offline, I have effectively lost the use of the security light over my driveway. I believe this is a significant design flaw and a genuine safety concern. A permanently installed security floodlight should not become completely unusable simply because a homeowner changes their Wi-Fi credentials. There should be a method to remotely initiate setup mode, or at the very least, the floodlight should retain basic manual functionality through the existing wall switch until connectivity is restored. I shared these concerns with Blink Support, but was only told that my comments would be noted. I hope their engineering and product teams will seriously consider improving this design. Many customers install these floodlights in locations that are intentionally high and difficult to access. Requiring physical access to a reset button for something as common as a Wi-Fi network change creates unnecessary inconvenience and, in situations like mine, presents a real safety issue. I appreciated many aspects of the Blink system while it worked, but this experience has caused me to lose confidence in relying on it for home security. I had to hire someone and pay a significant amount to have my floodlight installed a little over a year ago and now feel stuck as I try to navigate how to handle this. It makes no sense to continue with a Blink system as this could recur and end up costing more to fix when I have to hire people to do this. I’m sorely disappointed in this product and lack of customer support.

We bought a blink battery operated doorbell camera. When it worked, it was good. We used expensive lithium batteries constantly. It constantly goes in and out and you have to reset the system which means cancelling and restarting the subscription. They told me I was eligible for a replacement when it finally crashed. They sent me the wrong camera and it is now almost a month without the camera. I am told it is stuck in shipping. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA OR SYSTEM!

Werde keine dieser Cams mehr kaufen. Der Support ist eine Katastrophe - habe 9 verschiedene Unterlagen senden müssen und noch immer keine Garantieleistung erhalten - so was von Kundenunfreundlich habe ich noch nie gesehen. Das soll eine Firma von Amazon sein? Meine zwei Cams sind nach 1 Jahr kaputt - haben einen Kurzschluss und vernichtet jede neue Batterie sofort. Werde von denen nichts mehr kaufen!
