Customers are mixed about the motion detection of the vdo device. Some mention that it's decent, with a lot of motion detection zones. However, others say that it often fails to detect motion and record a clip. The range is short and the motion detector could use some refining.

1,058 customers mention359 positive699 negative

Customers are mixed about the night vision of the vdo device. Some mention that it looks excellent in complete darkness, while others say that it's not good and blurry. The issue seems to be the cameras ability to process night vision, as images are pretty clear during the day and iffy at night.

"...and it's sensitivity, quality and length of recordings and night vision, and you can block out certain areas of the view so repetitive & expected..." Read more

935 customers mention214 positive721 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the battery life of the vdo devices. They mention that the batteries die quickly, and the longer the clip length, the less power it has. Some say that the cameras have not held their charge and that the longer clip length may impact battery life.

"...Been up for 3 months and batteries are about to die on both cameras. Otherwise nice easy setup!!" Read more

"...features of these cameras, not a big deal, but the maximum limit of only 1min recordings really kills our purpose for the cameras...." Read more

"...It also only uses lithium batteries which, in my area, are not recyclable...." Read more

"...Without a subscription, the cams are working good, original batteries still ok, motion recording working to the Sync Module 2 usb drive, live view..." Read more

Works pretty good
4 Stars
Works pretty good
Works pretty good for such a light, battery powered cam. I have one setup under the eve as a package cam and one actually wound up being setup in my 3D printer enclosure. This way I can check to see when my next spool of 3D filament just got delivered and also the progress of my latest print. I'm not home very often so its convenient for me to check in on things briefly from afar. These cams let me do that.The best thing about these cams is that they are powered by 2 AA batteries. The worst thing about these cams is that they are powered by 2 AA batteries.They communicate with the Sync Module 2, not your router so keep that in mind. Do not base cam locations on where your router(s) and access points are, base it on whether its within 100 feet of a Sync Module 2.When you setup one of the Blink cams it automatically starts a 30 day trial subscription to the web storage service and it also activates some of the cam's functionality as well. I am still within the trial period so I am not sure exactly what you can or can't do after it ends if you don't continue with a paid subscription.As you can see in my pics, you can plug a USB cable into the back but it can't be just any USB cable as shown here, it must be one specifically made for the Blink Outdoor camera. If a cable lists other Blink models or other brands of cams it will work with then it is not correct for the Blink Outdoor cam to retain its weather tight integrity. Blink sells a USB power cable for the Outdoor that is meant to be plugged into an outdoor outlet. 3rd Party vendor sells flat cables that are meant to run under/over a door or window and be plugged into an indoor outlet only. The USB port will not charge the batteries in the unit. If you intend to live-view for long periods often or record a lot of motion clips at busy locations then you should get a hard wired cam with a DVR instead of these.So far I like what I'm getting from these peace-of-mind curiosity cams. They work great with Alexa Show, Fire TV stick and my phone for viewing. It downloads backups of motion clips to the Sync Module 2 once a day that I can look at on my PC. Its my understanding that once the trial subscription runs out, some of the functionality is removed. Not sure what exactly yet but I'll update once I find out.* * UPDATE: After the 30-Day Free Trial Ends...My 30-day automatic trial subscription ended a few days ago. Gist is its pretty much the same except more cumbersome to manage clips and also can't be looking through a cam in Live-View and hit the record button to start recording anymore - it says that requires a subscription. Also, no taking pictures when in live-view either. Also clips load much slower and you have to have a clip loaded and being viewed before you can delete one. Also you can't set a schedule to delete the clips after a certain period anymore - requires the sub. So best way to delete them is to safely eject the USB and bring it to a PC and manage the files there.I got a couple of notices starting about 10 days or so prior that my subscription was going to end soon and that I would not be able to record after that if I did not purchase a subscription. Now that it has ended I noticed that I wasn't getting any motion activated notifications on my android phone and no clips to display under the Clips Tab in the app. I also notice that the Clips Tab is now only showing Local Storage (empty), prior the USB only contained Backup Clips from the web that were not listed in the app as clips and had to be viewed and managed on the PC. Tried setting off a couple of cams and their lights showed they were recording but no clips appearing on the Sync Module 2 USB. Went through all settings on all cams and Sync Module 2 and ejected and reinserted USB - still no clips showing. Sent an email off to support via the website support page stating the above. Checked the app again the next day and a cryptic message stating the module was out of sync or something came up. A minute orso later clips showed up and all has been working as far as motion being detected and clips showing up on the Sync Module 2 USB within a few minutes of such motion. No thumbnails for the clips but it does show date+time and the cam it was from.In my experience with these cams, do not set motion detection up in busy areas including your front door if you have a family, friends, pets, etc. going in and out all the time because you will fill up with lots and lots of clips very quickly. And I'm guessing run the batteries down very quickly as well. Not practical from an environmental, financial or time management aspect. I try to remember to disable the motion detection on cams I will be active around such as my garage. Only delivery people and strangers go to my front door so its not a highly active entrance for me and I'm using my cams primarily for drop-in live-viewing and not necessarily thief catching anyway.Without a subscription, the cams are working good, original batteries still ok, motion recording working to the Sync Module 2 usb drive, live view working good from the phone app, fire-tv stick and my echo shows. I have a 128 GB USB (formatted as exfat on my Win10 PC - it came from SanDisk preformatted as FAT which is not acceptable) in the Sync Module 2 and use a PC on a regular basis so motion-clip file management is not a problem for me even if the local storage management is cobbled in the app. I have 2 Blink Mini usb powered cams and they are recording motion clips to the Sync Module 2 also now that the subscription has ended. The subscription isn't a bad price btw if you want the off-site storage and extra functionality and convenience it provides.Oh yeah, I forgot to mention:A day after sending my email to customer support I got an automated response saying they received my request with an incident number saying I would be contacted soon. (by now my cams are notifying and recording ok so problem resolved) A few days after that I received a second email from Blink - asking me to rate the customer service person's response to my problem. I never received a response from customer service. Nothing. My cams are working now though so not sure if they did something on their end or what. Also not sure what's up at Blink but obviously their customer service via email is not functioning at this time. Suggest if you need help you call the phone number instead.
