Looking for a doorbell camera that isn't a Flock spy
None of the residential security cameras are Flock spies. But the WiFi Cloud cameras spy for themselves. Avoid ALL WiFi Recurring Subscription Cloud Cameras, as they all have at least one vulnerability: Ring, Nest, Eufy, Wyze, Blink, Arlo, etc. Always PoE if possible, anything going to the Cloud is

Woman living alone, where to start?
So many thoughts on this, and a few folks here have hit some great points already. Here is my 2 cents. For video doorbells, I'd skip both Blink and Wyze and go with the Ring Video Doorbell (battery version) since it's more reliable for security purposes and has better motion detection zones. The fre

Home security cameras without monthly payment
I have Blink, they talk to a hub in your home that can then send you a notice when the camera is triggered, and store videos or images to a USB stick that plugs into it. There is quite a delay however, most of the time when someone rind the doorbell button, they walk away before I can respond.

Looking for new cameras
If Ring and Blink are both already missing motion for you, I’d probably stop trying to make that combo work and just move on. Your real checklist sounds like: wired power existing chime support no subscription if possible faster/more reliable motion capture one app that doesn’t suck That’s honestly

Hot take: the “best video doorbell” isn’t what most people recommend — thoughts?
The whole category feels overengineered for what it’s trying to solve, and people keep bending their expectations to justify keeping these things installed. Used a Blink doorbell for a while and it highlighted something weird: the more features it had, the less I trusted it. Not because it broke, bu

It finally happened 😭💔
Ya, we've had several same experiences. These cameras are motion sensitive and so many factors affect them, delta or difference in temperatures probably main shortcoming. I have had Blink for years and they help but ya, the couple times anything happened, they just aren't reliable. We bought a Reoli

Curious about Blink cameras: question within
I don't have Blink cameras but I bought a house that came with two Blink doorbells. So here are a few comments in no particular order: My house has no doorbell wiring at all. So installing a traditional wired doorbell is a non-starter unless I want to fish wires through the walls. That really limits

Blink motion detection issue.
Same problem here. I use a wired Mini2 aimed at my rear yard, gate, garage, and parking area behind the house, with greyed-out areas so pets don't trigger it, and it works fine. However, I use a wireless Blink Video doorbell on my front door landing, with the street greyed-out, but the only things i
