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.

The new update is so inconvenient
My experience is that both the app has gotten worse (usability), but also Blink infrastructure has gotten more unreliable lately. My video doorbell would not update for 3 consecutive days. Tried factory reset of EVERYTHING from sync module, IOS app, & doorbell, and even rebooted modem & router. Even

Wired Doorbell
Yeah, I started with a Ring (when there was no subscription) and it was fine for my first doorbell. Battery life was decent. Kind of a pain in the ass taking it down and charging it. After 3-4 years, it was peeling and looked horrible. I had caught a deal on Blink battery camera a few years into the

Looking for new cameras
If Ring and Blink are both already missing motion for you, I’d probably stop trying to make that combo work and just move on. Your real checklist sounds like: wired power existing chime support no subscription if possible faster/more reliable motion capture one app that doesn’t suck That’s honestly

Hot take: the “best video doorbell” isn’t what most people recommend — thoughts?
The whole category feels overengineered for what it’s trying to solve, and people keep bending their expectations to justify keeping these things installed. Used a Blink doorbell for a while and it highlighted something weird: the more features it had, the less I trusted it. Not because it broke, bu

Doorbells no longer chiming on mobile device.
Me and my wife are having the same problem. Tried about everything, but it won't ring on our smartphones. I guess it's time for a new (not Blink) video doorbell.

“Hi, you are being recorded” shut up. SHUT UP!
I have three opposite issue with my Blink cameras. They don't make any noise to alert me when someone is ringing the doorbell camera so I never know when someone is there.

Doorbell camera suggestion
Honestly, if Blink already froze on you during the exact kind of moment you bought it for, I’d stop trying to make Blink work and just move on. From what you wrote, your real priorities seem to be: battery powered Wi-Fi only rental-friendly no monthly subscription if possible app opens fast enough t

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 security camera
Hey! I’ve seen this happen before with Blink doorbells, it’s usually not the camera itself but the syncing between your old device and the new system. A few things to try: Check the cloud / app storage limits, sometimes old videos won’t appear if the account thinks the new device is the primary. For
