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

Multi band router issue
I set up a guest network on 2.4ghz only and moved all my IOT devices onto it, which includes my Blink cameras. No issues at all, everything is running smoothly. This avoids the band-steering tech built into new routers that can mess up devices they must stay on 2.4ghz. For you, try it for just the d

Got robbed and yet all my clips magically disappear
Sorry to hear you were robbed and lost footage. However, let this sort of be a lesson for you. The key thing here is you should never use a wireless camera for security. Security cameras should always be wired and connected to a device that records the video, such as a NVR. One strong possibility he

another logitech circle view doorbell question
Your previous blink video doorbell was able to ring your physical chime and be powered from the doorbell wires without a special adapter? Even the ring doorbells need a similar adapter. Without it, the video doorbell pulling power through the wiring all the time would partially actuate the doorbell

Would you do it over again?
I'm happy with the wired stuff but if I had it to do all over again I'd go with Ring. I tried going from a Ring doorbell to Blink and it was horrible in comparison so i swapped it back out. Then I've swapped out all the Blink stuff on the front of the house to Ring camera's, much better video qualit

Is anyone happy with their Eufy system?
Moved from Ring and Blink to Eufy a little over a year ago and love it. 3 cameras and a doorbell, quality video, and quick to connect when checking live (had an issue with Blink taking forever/failing). I also saw a lot of negativity on here, chalked it up to Reddit users being Reddit users and glad

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

Blink doorbell cameras do use power from existing doorbell wiring
I will try to clear up the confusion. First, the documentation is piss poor and unless you understand electricity, it does not make sense "why" it does not work. With that said, I have a blink camera that has always run on rechargeable lithium ions and it is connected to my Alexa system. In that set

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

Bought Blink Outdoor 4 with Sync Module Core — is switching to Sync Module 2 worth it to avoid subscription?
I've been using Sync Module XR for a year, connected to 5 Outdoor 4 cameras and a doorbell, not using the extended range as there's no need for me and it'll also degrade video quality. All I can say is, when they work, they work, if you intend to go with the Sync Module and not the subscription, lik
