Blink Floodlight camera - Wireless smart security Outdoor camera (3rd Gen) + LED mount, two-year battery, motion detection - 1 camera system (Black)

Overall probably a 4.5. Easy install on a pergola post in the back yard. Don't forget to remove the plastic insert so the lights come on... I was too busy to read that instruction having put up multiple other Blink cameras. Blink is OK as a system, images are good enough but the reaction time seems a little slow sometimes missing the action (also having a VPN on my iPhone delays receipt of the action) other times being triggered a little too easily (leaves vs a human body). Distance is not a strong point but 10 yards seems to provide an adequate image that police could use. The talk feature works well.

I like these cameras but sometimes the motion detection is off on the timing. I will have something set them off and then it will be a few seconds after the motion then it starts recording. The voice recording is great you can hear people talking from pretty far away. The night vision and camera quality is pretty clear and nice. The big ones like these could have a wider lens on them for a better view. My problem is mostly with the application. I can't switch from camera to camera very quickly or the app glitches out. My husband and I cannot look at the cameras at the same time on our phones. If the camera is recording you cannot look at them in the app at the same time. They have been useful for what we have needed and the price, but their are better systems out there for a higher price point of course.

Works well, good quality

I recently purchased the Blink Flood Lights and Camera for my driveway, and it has proven to be a reliable and cost-effective security solution. Here's my comprehensive review based on my experience:Installation (5/5): The installation process was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly Blink app. The step-by-step instructions provided on the app made the setup incredibly easy to follow. Even for someone like me who isn't particularly tech-savvy, the process was straightforward and hassle-free. It's a huge plus for those who prefer a DIY approach without the need for professional installation.Performance (4/5): The camera's performance is impressive overall. It captures clear and crisp footage, providing a sense of security for my driveway. The flood lights are bright and effectively illuminate the area, acting as a deterrent to potential intruders. However, there have been instances where the motion sensor didn't trigger as expected. This occasional glitch is a minor drawback, but it's something to be aware of.Motion Sensing (3/5): While the motion sensing feature generally works well, there were a few instances when it failed to detect motion. This inconsistency is a slight concern, and I hope it can be addressed through future updates. Despite this, the camera's other features and the peace of mind it offers make it a worthwhile investment.Affordability (5/5): One of the standout features of the Blink Flood Lights and Camera is its affordability. I managed to snag it at a discounted price, and considering the level of security it provides, it's undoubtedly a bang for the buck. The quality and functionality you get for the price make it an excellent value.Overall Impression (4/5): In conclusion, the Blink Flood Lights and Camera are a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance the security of their driveway. The ease of installation, coupled with the affordable price, makes it a practical solution for homeowners. Despite occasional hiccups with the motion sensor, the overall performance and peace of mind it offers make it a purchase I don't regret. If you're looking for a cost-effective security camera with easy installation, the Blink Flood Lights and Camera is a worthy contender.

So, originally I was gonna shell out some money to go with a ring system. I needed four cameras with floodlights, and a doorbell camera. Right before hitting submit, my husband's coworker friend told us to wait and look up the Blink system. I am VERY glad he stopped us. For one thing, this was at least $400+ dollars cheaper than Ring's bundle. I wasn't going to be able to grab a doorbell cam from Ring until later because adding one on was more than the budget I had. With Blink's pricetag, I could get the doorbell camera and still be saving $400+.For another, I wasn't sure how bright Ring's lights would be. The coworker said they weren't very bright, bright enough for the camera to have somewhat of a night vision, but not enough to do what I wanted, which was shine a light on the area the camera is pointed at. Blink's lights are very obvious on the camera, and they're very bright without being ridiculously so. It helps me out a ton at night in my back yard to see my porch, my steps, and any toys my son decided to leave as traps in my path. Don't know why he does this seeing as how I use a cane and a wheelchair sometimes. Maybe he's trying to give me one of those obstacle course challenges! They are also very responsive.The whole thing was so easy to set up and I love how they included multiple ways to attach the cameras to your home. I needed to use the siding clips for most of my house, but I did have to buy a hammer drill, masonry bits, and brick screws to mount one of the cameras to the front of my house that is all bricks. The app is really easy to use and allowed me to easily put my doorbell camera and my front camera on the same sync module, and then turn on only the doorbell camera as the front one still needed to be mounted. It also allowed me to block out the street in front of my house as my neighbors driving to their houses would set off the motion detection. Not a lot as I live on a short cul-de-sac, but still enough to be annoying. That was very easy to do with their zone option.The camera quality is SO GOOD too. MUCH better than Ring's in my opinion. Especially at night. I looked at a video of a friend's night time Ring camera that detected motion and you could BARELY make out the form of a bunny hopping past. My camera picks up those bunnies and squirrels at night clear as day. It's really cool to be able to see the animals move around at night and they don't set off the camera unless they're on or immediately around my back deck.All in all, I'd definitely recommend this camera system brand. You won't be disappointed!

Mounts easily and the floodlight really improves visibility at night. Keeps the camera secure and the extra light makes motion alerts more useful. Solid accessory for Blink Outdoor.
