I do not recommend buying these cameras with batteries. I bought one and the battery only worked for 3 months. I called because they supposedly last 3 years. They told me that I had to buy the batteries. I only used them for less than 3 months and the battery died. It's a theft. No. I recommend buying this brand of blink in cameras

Terrible system
It took 3 days of research in order to set up the system, at the end of which I was Very angry !!
Firstly, I had major problems setting up the Blink app, which kept refusing my correct wifi password.
In the end, I had to go into my router settings and Disable 5ghz band as Blink only works on2.4ghz.
Secondly, the app kept refusing to link to the "sync module", without which the cameras cannot be loaded and operated.
I tried many times to reset the sync module, but the app was having NONE of it.
In the end, GET THIS, I had to -
Unplug the module and wait.
Whilst unplugged I held in the reset button for 10 seconds
Keeping the reset button depressed, I plugged the module back in and held it in for 5+ more seconds, then released it.
Suddenly the red light started blinking and went into set up mode.
The rest of the set up was easy.
This review , I hope, will help if you encounter the same problem, which apparently is common with Blink.
It certainly will avoid you having to do days of research
Blink help is useless !!
In other words, I had all the kit but the app was not fit for purpose.
Beware if you choose Blink.
Better for you to pick different security cameras

Feedback on Blink Camera Customer Service and Product Experience
I am writing to express my frustration with the poor customer service I have experienced with Blink. Despite numerous attempts to resolve my issues, your team has consistently ignored my requirements and offered unhelpful, scripted responses. Promises that a supervisor would call back have proven to be empty.
Furthermore, I regret purchasing four sets of Blink cameras. The subscription service is highly expensive, and the cameras themselves have not proven to be reliable. This entire experience has been disappointing, and I would not recommend Blink to others based on my experience.
I hope you will take this feedback seriously and work to improve your customer service and product reliability and won't recommend it to anyone.

I purchased a 3 camera set and…
I purchased a 3 camera set and installed 2 cameras. After less than 1 season 1 of the cameras failed. I installed the 3rd camera in the same locatiob ant it failed as well. It seems that in both occasions water got into the unit and it seems to have shorted out tge camera.
Customer service did would not offer a replacement, not even for one device.
I would not recommend purchasing these if you plan to install the outside.
The recordings when activated are useless as well. We had many occasions where tge camera went off and would fir example show a person at the camera but doesn't stay with this person until the move away from the camera. Therefore you have unfulfilled camera activations leaving you wondering if something was stolen or damaged or whatever.
Do not waste your money.
