Home security cameras without monthly payment
We have used Blink for years; doorbell and multiple outdoor cameras. With the sync module and a USB flash drive we have never had to pay a monthly subscription. The video quality is pretty good, but we do have occasional issues with the app. Camera battery health is average. I would wait until Cyber

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.

What you get without subscription?
I’ve been using Blink without a subscription for two years now. While I had some issues with video not recording on the usb drive, this seems to have been solved since early this year. It’s fine for me. I get notifications and I can see missed doorbell rings or movement recordings via the app. I don

It finally happened 😭💔
What I find is I cannot view real time videos once my Blink doorbell started to record, like it cannot multi-task. My conclusion is that the brand is good value for the money, but not mission critical.

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

Seeking Nanny Cam for Elderly Parents
I had Blink. I hated it - crappy video quality, could barely hear the audio, and it kept disconnecting from wifi. And only one person can view a camera at a time. I know you said you didn't really want a subscription, but I found the Ring stuff is worth it. I had a Ring doorbell and I took advantage

Paranoid living alone
get a blink video doorbell from amazon and blink indoor cams to put in your window sills facing outside that is easier than installing an outdoor security system. the video doorbell helps because it alerts you if someone goes by your front door so you're not wondering if anyone is out there if you s
