Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: Bought another one and same issues AND this one when you turn the light on it just flashes. It turns on then off. You have to press the on button again. I'm OK with it because I can use it as a quick flash to deter things. Hmm maybe Blink should add a quick flash option with adjustable timing. 😐 The cool part is that this is battery powered. That means you can pretty much stick this anywhere within range of the sync module and wifi of course. The light is bright enough to clearly light up the way. The adjustments are good both the positioning of the LEDs and brightness levels. What's not good is the motion activated lighting. It doesn't work. Once again it is up to us the consumer to figure out as the makers don't have a grasp on the termology of words and what they should do. Daylight mode clearly states the light working under lit conditions. It even has a setting for it and it doesn't matter if you go to 1 which they say is complete dark conditions or up to 10 it states a warning about battery consumption. Now here's the big TIP to get the motion activated light working. You have to turn on Daylight Mode. Now motion triggers the LED lights on making the other option Light Activation by Motion moot. 🤔 There is quite a delay here. Not to annoying but definitely a hindrance. Faster moving objects will be missed. ie cat dog people walking briskly cars going by. They had a similar problem with terms on their doorbell cam having speaker and ringer volume controls not working in conjuction with what the words suggest. They have somewhat fixed it and they could fix this issue as well in a FW update. Then there's the other bigger issue. When you live view and turn on the light the image darkens up. Doesn't matter if I have the lights set at full brightness. I used the stock setting 5. Then when you turn off the light the image goes even darker. It seems the camera has a problem readjusting iso and or exposure. But this is not a problem during recordings. It records fine with the light coming on. 🤔 See my video and if they take it down find me on YouTube. The mounting bracket seems to work well making it easy to remove and replace batteries. The bracket also comes with an under siding mount which is better suited for the harder wood siding than vinyl bc of the weight. I had to make a mount for my application as I could not just mount the backing plate there is no solid wood behind the flashing. Looks like I covered my house number, oh no. 😅 I have a separate house number thing that lights up. 😎 This is another cool Blink item that needs a little tweaking. There is quite a delay turning lights on n off and when motion triggers. I give it 1 star because Blink has not restored the options and features that was sold with their product lines at the onset which was a huge selling point. A crude analogy, you can't charge someone for using cruise control after they buy the car. You can't charge people for using appealing features which was the reason you purchased the item in the first place. No one likes this bait n switch. 👎 Oh and one more thing, your trial period should not start over when you add another camera. Instead it should add another 30 days to what you have remaining. By my count Blink owes me about 3yrs of the free trial. That's how many cameras I've purchased. I am going to purchase another one of these floodlights because I'm too far into the Blink system. However as my security needs change I may ditch all this for a real security system as Blink continues with their nonsense. Stop throttling. And don't say you don't because we know you do.
