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

Woman living alone, where to start?
So many thoughts on this, and a few folks here have hit some great points already. Here is my 2 cents. For video doorbells, I'd skip both Blink and Wyze and go with the Ring Video Doorbell (battery version) since it's more reliable for security purposes and has better motion detection zones. The fre

Home security cameras without monthly payment
I have Blink, they talk to a hub in your home that can then send you a notice when the camera is triggered, and store videos or images to a USB stick that plugs into it. There is quite a delay however, most of the time when someone rind the doorbell button, they walk away before I can respond.

Blink doorbell doesn't send any notifications.
Yeah exact same problem... I can even tell you how to replicate the fault . Take the batteries out to reboot the door bell Then you will find it will work fine ,send you alerts for motion triggers . Now this next step will put you right at your current problem...just press the doorbell...yes it will

Customer says I rang their doorbell when I didn't
Have the Blink doorbell. It chimes when someone comes into view, which is good because we can't hear when someone knocks on the door. Problem is that it chimes when the wind blows because there is a rosebush in front that keeps setting it off or sometimes traffic on the street will set it off.

Eufy or Tapo for doorbell camera
Our doors aren't wired for doorbells so battery doorbell cam is the only option unless I pull wires. I've been using Blink for a couple years. Some comments in no particular order: Battery life is pretty decent. Blink recommends using lithium AAs but I just use NiMH Eneloops. They last at least 6 mo

Nothing working properly
I have 9 cameras and a doorbell, all of them stopped recording motion about 2 weeks ago too. Blink support just giving the same "your wifi your ISP" is the problem message. Weird thing is they can record live motion videos.

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
