Need serious insight

100% agree …..I’m the type that wants proof if you tell me something (yes I’m overly suspicious of people), so better to have a ring/blink camera. Like someone said below if a neighbor is vandalizing your peephole you will have proof if they try to do same to the doorbell camera. My neighbor had his

My neighbor has been leaving notes on my door for 6 months about my "aggressive dog." My dog died 8 months ago.

Well damn I wish I'd heard about this before I got my blink doorbell. Google says they're a part of Anker, which is a brand I really like too. The blink subscription is $15/month and I'm not really impressed with the camera or sound quality.

Someone just tried to get into my apartment

My apartment is on the second floor, and is an external door. My plan is to go to the front office once it opens to see if the have any security cameras that might have caught it, which hopefully is the case. I have a blink doorbell camera, but the battery ran out a few days ago so it unfortunately

Officially Done with Arlo

I took down all of my Arlo equipment, which was 10 cameras and three hubs. I was having horrible problems with the software not recognizing that the three hubs are in different locations, so I could no longer arm/disarm each system separately, which was a deal breaker for me. I went all in on Blink,

Tweaker neighbors

The only thing that worked for me with the tweaker next door was putting up cameras everywhere. The alley? Yep. Both directions. The backyard? Two more, one records continuous onto an sd card. The front? Doorbell and blink camera. The alley cameras are literally the only reason the losers stopped us

New cameras

Your existing doorbell wiring doesn't power the Blink doorbell camera in any way whatsoever. I've had batteries that lasted well over 2 years with the 1st gen doorbell and it's been so far, so good with the 2nd gen. And that's with using both with a sync module. My advice is to not try to use the do

Amazingly... odd

My blink doorbell and cameras send me "videos" like this sometimes. Just a few still frames that are spaced out over a long time, sometimes hours. Blink is exceptionally buggy when it comes to the automated recording.

Looking for assistance on what to get.

As long as the bundle contains the sync module, you'll have everything you need. Download the Blink app to your phone/devices, install, and you're all set. Note: if the video doorbell is second gen and doesn't want to sync at first, it might be the same issue I just faced where the sync module didn'

Home security cameras without monthly payment

I had an Arlo system for a while before switching to Blink and honestly the subscription is so worth it and reasonably priced compared to other security systems. Unlimited 60 day cloud storage for $12/mo ($4/mo if you just have one device) is really good imo. I'm able to live record, motion detect r

Kid has been knocking on my door asking if I want to play with him

If you don’t already have them, it might not hurt to have a video doorbell or a camera on your porch so that you can record when he comes to the door as evidence? I mean, Blink has a pretty inexpensive doorbell and cameras that are easy to put up. It’s a few dollars a month to store the video but wo
