For anyone with the Blink pile Module 2 set. Please read the following:
If you are following the installation steps and something seems not to work correctly, just restart your router and/or the module 2. You also may need to just wait a few hours. My Blink took a full day after installation to start saving to the flash drive and displaying my locally saved videos in the app. I took no steps in the day between, it just corrected itself. So remember give it time, and reset the module when in doubt.
Easily synced with my current Blink outdoor system/hub with no issues. The "view size" obtained by the doorbell camera is extremely wide, covering my entire porch, walkway, and the street in front of the house. VERY high quality picture and easily works with the Blink App to be monitored and customize the settings of your entire camera system. The Blink App has incredible features, such as the ability to block out grid squares that you don't need to be alerted on, so it won't false alert for things such as passing vehicles on the road. By blocking out the entire street beyond your sidewalk/yard, the system will not alert you until someone crosses the invisible grid line you've created around your home. BEST FEATURE AVAILABLE!
The built-in microphone is VERY HIGH quality, and can be adjusted easily through the app as well. The doorbell sound quality is top notch and the phone connection when ringing is a nice standard tone that isn't alerting or annoying.
If I had one request to adjust the design & features, I would LOVE to have an additional doorbell hub (OTHER THAN AN INDOOR CAMERA!) on the inside to hear the doorbell throughout the house! I, personally, don't care to monitor the interior of my home or the people inside of it, so indoor cameras are not something I am willing to take on to extend the doorbell alert to anywhere but my smartphone.
Overall, it's a top notch security camera (and doorbell), and if you're familiar with the Blink operating system or currently use a Blink camera at your home, then the Blink Doorbell is an easy addition to the security of your home.
The first month of the camera worked great. I got motion alerts, and I could see the ring video occasionally. I could also get a live view through the app.
After the 30-day free trial, everything stopped working. If someone rings the doorbell, I can see a notification video, but I can’t watch the full video unless I pay for the trial after the free 30 days. They have different payment options and plans, and they also have some good deals. The battery life has been good so far. It was easy to set up with a manual screwdriver.
One major downside is that even if you plug the device into an electrical outlet or an existing doorbell, it still needs batteries to work. The hardwire only extends the device’s lifespan and reduces the need for batteries. But when the battery runs out, it stops working completely.
