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

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

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

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

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

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash
Yes, I'm familiar with it, as I have a Blink system with the hub. I also bought it with the plan to have my videos local, rather than on the cloud. But after the recent controversies with Ring and Nest I've grown skeptical. I'm not a networking expert, but my question is how is it that we are able t

Constantly Offline
It may be a defective unit. I bought a Blink video doorbell and it kept going offline multiple times per day. I moved the sync module core to different areas which didn't fix the issue. I have a blink mini 2 about 3ft away which doesn't have the problem. I decided to contact Amazon to return it and

Ring doorbell alternatives without monthly fee?
I have a Reolink PoE doorbell and it's a massive upgrade over the blink it replaced. Just a single cable through the wall for power and data, it's constantly powered so no batteries to replace and being hardwired to the network (not WiFi) there is very little delay. I have a micro SD card in the doo

Is there a name for the effect of products getting worse with time/popularity?
I don't use Uber much. I think 3 times in the last 10 years. Uber Eats I've used once. I think it's a weird service. I would be super pissed with no information about my food delivery after an hour. Even after 20 minutes of no information at all, I would be mad at the whole process. Thus I don't hav
