★☆☆☆☆
Inconsistent, poor support staff, unable to troubleshoot after mounted.
The concept is great because you can move the cameras where and when you want/need to. But the 2 year battery life of the lithium batteries is actually only 6 days- yes days! The motion detectors are more sensitive to side motion and the range of view trips extends farther. Sensors react, despite fine tuning the sensitivity, to wind and shadows. I have 11 tickets open with the manufacturer. They boast 24 hour service and support but evening hours are only covered by novice, inexperienced techs. One specific problem was with signal- I had full bars but intermittent capture. They said buy an wifi extender but there own product does NOT support the separate SSIDs required when setting up an extender, booster. I bought a whole house router and since installing that I have spent more than 4 hours trying to get the cameras to work properly and finally gave up. I recommend looking for something hard wired. Blink may be good for interior but they have a lot of fine tuning before I will consider them again.
