Blink Video Doorbell + Sync Module 2 — Two-way audio, HD video, two-year battery life, motion detection, chime app alerts, Works with Alexa (Black)

First impression is definitely a positive one! We bought the Blink Doorbell with sync module, and a 3 pack of the Outdoor 4 cameras. Previous experience with WiFi cameras had me expecting this to be a pain to set up.The doorbell and sync module were the first things I set up in the Blink app and it was absolutely painless and simple. Hubby got the bracket on the house in less time than it took to connect and update the doorbell. I really appreciated the fact I didn’t have to have a hard wired doorbell already - we have a double wide and no existing door bell. Setting it and the three cameras up took an hour, tops. Today is day 4 and so far they all are working smoothly, integration with our Alexa devices was smooth and easy and works well. Right now I have left the motion sensitivity to default on the doorbell and my highest traffic camera. So far the doorbell has gotten quite a bit of motion activity, so we will see how the batteries go. I’m going to buy some rechargeable lithiums for all the camera so I can have backup charged. We have played with the doorbell function but I haven’t had someone use it while I’m away, or anything like that.I also really like how Blink strings clips together from each camera when an “event” happens. So far the doorbell and my other cameras are wonderful. I’ll update this review after a couple of months!!!

its good for what it is. the picture is clear enough to identify anyone, but it lags big time, if you can be okay with that (like i am) then this is a great doorbell camera for the money. its got a wide angle, wider than anyone outside of your house will think. the app is nice, video last about a minute or two. be sure to buy some AA batteries, the lithium ones they give you DO NOT LAST A YEAR, mine died after 5 months and i'm not the only ones in that boat, so that claim is kaput other than that this thing is great.

Okay, 1 year using and 1 year to learn so as to give a real review, it's not some 4k ultimate video recording doorbell, but the video is clear enough and dollar for dollar it might be one of the better 1080 doorbells, it does have some issues I found work arounds for and some I couldn't, the reviews you read saying it's very slow to motion alert you are not just hard to please customers, it is an issue, It is slow to alert you thru the app on your phone, why I have not a clue, the work around is if you have Echo Dot or Echo Show and you know how to set up routines, have Alexa tell you when that device detects motion, I found it lightning quick, why that works faster I don't know, lol, remember I'm doing honest review on how things worked for me. I also discovered you can have Echo Show or Echo Dot be your chime so again if you understand Alexa routines, and you have alexa devices, you will never have an issue hearing when someone rings your blink Doorbell, don't forget to link your Blink app and the Alexa app to ensure the above things work for you, okay on to issue I can't find a work around, Blinks idea of battery life reminds me of auto manufacturers MPG estimates, we all know in the real world it's not going to happen, sure, if you dial down all the features, you might get half of what Blink says, but then I ask you, why have it, we buy them to use them right ?, so I have found average battery life even using the suggested energizer ultimate lithium, is about 6 months, not 2 years and don't care how they or their paid reviewers try to spin it, it's not going to happen even if you dial all the features down, making it a waste of money, and yes I'm using the sync module which is supposed to help battery life, maybe it does, can't answer that but real life, no B.S. spinning, your not going to come close to their battery projections, my only work around for that is the batteries are easy to change and I understand and can deal with this, Speaking of the Blink module, I use it for local storage and I also use the pay for cloud storage, that's another non work around issue, far far to many features are LOCKED OUT, if you don't pay for the Blink subscription, Now if you don't care about saving videos and you just want to know who is at your door regardless if you are home or away, this will alert you, it will display to you video of who and allow you to talk to them also and I must say it does a good job at it and you don't need the blink subscription and if you do have the Blink module and a usb stick in, it will save those for you, at short lengths, but it will do it. Overall it is a good security device, and although obviously it is far from the better ones. From a pure value Perspective I would highly recommend this, , easy to install, no wires, pretty much can put it where you want it, Again it does everything pretty well, One of the best prices out there, just understand it has shortcomings, but also understand it's price, and it will certainly do the job for you, this isn't a trashing review, I tried my hardest to be real and actually recommend it, it just doesn't function at the upper levels of some of the others, but it doesn't have the upper price tag , plus I am actually going to buy another, remember, you can put them about anywhere, I actually have one stashed at the front of my house, not by the door, it gives me a full frontal view of my home when I am away, sure it is a Doorbell but it is a camera as well and at this nice price why not, weather elements have not hurt mine a bit in the 13 months I have had them, including the one not by the door and pretty open to rain, snow and cold, it has held up well, still ticking, no signs of wear, so another plus
