Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have purchased these a couple times. The first time, we went on vacation and used them to be able to peek in at our dog, who was being cared for by family members... just because we loved and missed him. They worked great! Then, we reset the cameras to use them at home. That's when it all went bad. The Wifi Hub just wouldn't pair to the app, no matter how many times we unplugged and reset the hub, the cameras, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It just wasn't working anymore, so we returned them. At that time, I would have given them two stars... but I was not so good at rating things. This is the second time we have purchased these, to keep an eye on our home when we are away. One cool thing about these cameras is that you can remotely arm and disarm them from the companion app, regardless of where you are, as long as you have an internet connection. Additionally, the updated Blink app allows you to adjust a multitude of different settings: clip length, re-trigger time, motion detector sensitivity... there's even a Beta functionality for Temperature, which can give you a push notification if the temperature in a room falls outside of a range you get to specify. In our specific situation, we were using one camera to keep an eye on our aging dog, and it really helped knowing the temperature in a specific room (which was air-conditioned), so we could tell if there were brown-outs happening in the summer heat and come home to bring our dog to our local air-conditioned beer bar. These cameras are extremely cool and versatile, and unlike other competitor options, these cameras do not require a monthly subscription to use and record video (looking at you Logitech Circle Wireless 1080p Video Battery Powered Security Camera with Person Detection, Motion Zones and Custom Alerts (Black) ... a 90 day free trial, followed by a monthly subscription to record video clips). There are even IFTT scripts you can run that allow you to automate the arming and disarming of cameras, based on your phone's geolocation. These cameras are extremely cool and extremely simple to setup, I'm glad we gave them another shot. I didn't even talk about the fact that they are very compact and battery operated, but that's just an added bonus.
