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

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

Weekly Stupid Question Sunday

Wired floodlight cams. The video and sound quality is lacking, connectivity and motion detection issues, live view can be laggy, issues with the app. We have a long range router, so it's not the wifi. They're okay, and have held up to various weather situations, but when some stuff went down in our

New Blink 2K outdoor cameras.

I just recently upgraded from XT2's to the 2K's while they were on sale. $165 for a 5 pack plus doorbell. The increased resolution, wider field of view, and color night vision are solid improvements. Ever since swapping out the cameras the Blink app is extremely laggy while scrolling on both mine an
