FYI: Ring has partnered with Flock. Ice has access to flock. We are under mass surveillance.
Ring is owned by amazon, also Blink is owned by amazon, if they are sharing ring doorbell footage then they sure as hell are sharing blink doorbell footage aswell

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

Batch save files from Blink App ?
Thanks for your reply. USA Customers like myself are not allowed to request a Batch Download (UK can & other countries that have similar laws as UK). So ... I have been 1 by 1 going through oldest videos first & deleting the ones that don't have our dog in them & saving the ones that do. It is quite

It finally happened ðŸ˜ðŸ’”
Ya, we've had several same experiences. These cameras are motion sensitive and so many factors affect them, delta or difference in temperatures probably main shortcoming. I have had Blink for years and they help but ya, the couple times anything happened, they just aren't reliable. We bought a Reoli

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

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

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

Notification for movement but local storage not saving any clips?
I also had this same problem. Blink Tech Support was not helpful. They made me do the normal troubleshooting steps, reboot doorbell, reboot sync module, and reboot wifi router. Nothing worked. It wasn't until I realized the guest network could be causing it with network Isolation enabled. I moved th

Doorbell camera
But on a totally unrelated note, I found when shopping for a family member, where Alexa Echo Show integration was important, the Ring was the best option. You can disable dings for motion and have it only show video for button presses. Unfortunately, it requires subscription for recording, the main

Can you usually send doorbell and camera information to more than one cellphone?
Something to be aware of with Blink doorbells is that even with local USB storage via the Sync2 module, the video and notifications still need to bounce off Blink's cloud servers. So the path goes something like: doorbell --> sync module --> cloud server --> sync module --> USB drive. During interne
