I bought two floodlight cameras and the disk to dawn feature doesn’t work. Customer service said we are aware of the problem but offered me no solution. Without a subscription several features do not work and you can only watch the camera for a limited amount of time before it times out. The sync device I purchased to store recordings drops out constantly and has to be reinstalled. I have contacted Blink and they literally don’t care. How they have a well known name, I don’t understand. Their products are junk. Do not purchase.

This camera system is a scam and I'm furious I was cheated out of my money. The ad described a functional system with a free *AI Trial* but now I find my camera is non functional without a subscription. Shame on blink. It's a scam. I bought this camera to be sure my kids got home safe in case there was an emergency and they arrived home before me. Now I can't check on my kids and Im left with a worthless camera, that also has a lag and delay even when functioning. Blink has managed to make my family LESS safe because now I am stuck with a worthless camera system and not prepared to drop hundreds of dollars on a new camera system that maybe isn't predatory like this awful company blink. Shame on these thieves in blink who run this company and shame on Amazon.fpr selling this trash.

Purchased the camera system from Costco. This issue is you MUST purchase their SaaS subscription. During trial period the cameras will function great, then when the trial is over; the whole camera system shuts down and becomes a brick. The only function left working is the 'notification' badge, but no picture, no recording. I expected the AI portion to stop (identifying the activity, etc); however, I did not read the size 4 font stating that you have useless equipment unless you continue to pay a yearly subscription fee. So, while you think you are spending $100 for a camera system on sale; you are actually needing to continue to pay ~$120 per year going forward.

This is a one year waiting review. Bought 5 battery cameras, 2 indoor cameras, a doorbell, and a sync module. Installation was easy. What i have learned over this last year is, customer service is poor or non-existent. It took multiple calls, emails, and threatening to take product back to store before my bad sync module was resolved. Once I got the new sync module, I purchased a blink local storage kit to store clips instead of having to use the cloud service, which doesn’t display most of the time I accessed it. Everything worked ok for a few months, but we would have to reload the storage drive every time there was a power flash, even using a surge/backup ups. For the last three months, none of my local clips work. I have to reload the storage device multiple times a day and blink does not have remote reset capabilities on their sync module. Whenever I am out of town or away from the house, I only have live feed and nothing else. After contacting customer no support, I have determined this was a waste of money and I am looking into other solutions. My advice, do not buy this product.

pour que la caméra enregistre duran la journée il faut définir de arrêts redémarrage. le prélèvement de l'abonnement est effectué et je reçois un mail m'indiquant que l'opération a échoué alors le l'argent a été empoché et cerise sur le gateau le support est assuré par un des chatbot les plus lamentablede la planete ; pire que celui de la sncf, c'est dire

DO NOT BUY. It is ridiculous that you have to pay extra for a basic feature (needing to look back at the saved clips). When I get a motion notification and the person has left the camera view, I can’t open the saved clip of that moment. This is extremely frustrating because a camera should have this as a basic feature. I was told by support that I’m gonna have to pay the subscription or spend more money on their products and buy a new sync module that stores these clips. Completely and utterly useless. Save your money and do not buy from Blink.

Don't get blink or pay for a subscription its a waste of money There is a delay in notifications. By the time I get a notification that someone is at the front door the person has already gone.

Blink is unconcerned about environmental friendliness and willing to let brand new, perfectly good product go to the landfill to maximize their own greedy profits. Here’s what I mean: I own two complete systems with no issues. I bought a third system from a reputable (large) retailer on eBay. It was “open box”, but clearly brand new. Complete system cameras still had plastic on the front, screws sealed in factory bagging, batteries sealed in factory plastic. However, when I went to install them, it reported that the cameras are already associated with someone else’s account so I couldn’t use them. I respect the anti-theft reason why such associations exist. No problem with that. But I was certain that after a discussion with Blink, exchange of receipts, photographs, etc., they would recognize the legitimacy of my purchase and allow these products to have their natural life. No such luck. After admitting that they could help me if I had bought it through a retailer that they approved of, they refused to help me. They know two basic truths: (1) that no consumer knows who is and isn’t their approved retailer and (2) that no consumer knows that they have to decommission a product from their account before selling it. In essence, their goal is to prevent their equipment from having a second life, third life, etc. instead enjoying the idea that perfectly good product goes to the landfill never used in some cases and they get to sell more product. Disappointing.
