More than 6m vapes and pods discarded weekly in UK despite single-use ban, study finds

I bought one of those blink doorbells off Amazon and it wasn't very well advertised that it had lithium cell and not a rechargeable pack like the ring doorbell. I went to the post office to get the little sticker thing to return it to Amazon and I was told that they couldn't transport it as it had a

Someone just tried to get into my apartment

My apartment is on the second floor, and is an external door. My plan is to go to the front office once it opens to see if the have any security cameras that might have caught it, which hopefully is the case. I have a blink doorbell camera, but the battery ran out a few days ago so it unfortunately

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

Price increase notice

No issues with 2 video doorbells & 4 Outdoor 4 cams. Not sure about the price ce increase since everything is solar powered. Blink is tripping.

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

Anyone here happy with their setup?

Very happy. I haven't had any of the issues people are often citing here. Homebase works as expected and cameras don't disconnect. I live in a townhome, so there are at least 20 wifi networks that are picked up. The app occasionally needs to retry the connection when I have my phone on watching a ca

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

New Unifi Home Network & NVR Recommendations

I was just looking at the 2K cameras. I don’t believe I need anything above that for home use. Currently, I have four blink cameras and one ring video doorbell. I’m tired of changing batteries and paying monthly fees for them. I want something hardwired like I have that work. I don’t live in a high

Curious about Blink cameras: question within

I don't have Blink cameras but I bought a house that came with two Blink doorbells. So here are a few comments in no particular order: My house has no doorbell wiring at all. So installing a traditional wired doorbell is a non-starter unless I want to fish wires through the walls. That really limits

My family thinks there’s a camera in our rental

That’s incredible. I’ve already had to change the batteries in my blink doorbell twice since I installed it, in June or July. It gets a lot of activity (40-50 video clips per 24-hr period) because we are close to the sidewalk/street. But I’m a bit disappointed. If you don’t mind - What brand of batt
