Blink Outdoor (3rd Gen) - 3 camera system bundle with Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen)

So far so good with these cameras. I find it hard to believe that I got five cameras and a monitoring station that has all of the Alexa capabilities and so on (Echo Show 5) for the price I paid for it which was right around $220 on an Amazon black Friday deal. The fact that you can hook these cameras up in just a few minutes with no wires and sync them etc. so easily it’s just incredible. Technology has come along way in just a few years. I have mine set up two in the front yard two in the backyard and one on one side of my duplex . With the way they are set up I can catch virtually every square inch of my surroundings all the way up to my end of my street and all the way to the end of the dead-end street. The backyard I can see just about as far as my eyes could see if I was out in it so it’s pretty incredible.. The picture quality in the daytime is very very good. I will admit the night picture quality isn’t quite as good and suffers from a little bit of sort of what I guess id call jittery picture at times but still all things considered not bad at all and I should also point out that all cameras suffer from this that I’ve seen, even the more expensive Ring cameras and Arlo cameras. The cloud service is very reasonable at only $10 a month and if you have unlimited Internet like I do you can arm them and have them set pretty reasonably and you’re going to catch most anything that might happen around your place . Keep in mind though that these are not 24/7 cameras, these are motion cameras and they are only going to flip on when there is something that is set to record from your settings but they cannot stay on 24 hours a day like a casino security camera . Also want to point out it unless you’re going to wind up running them corded the battery power on these isn’t going to last very long if you have them set very high I have mine set to where they only record at night or when I’m gone on a trip and the settings are set on the mid end to avoid false alarms because I want the batteries to last. if I need to see something during the day I just go into the app and manually look . Some people may want to have different settings and may have their supplies of batteries on hand but for me that’s the way I wanted it set up and it’s working out great. Very good system for an excellent price. Obviously since I haven’t had them very long I don’t know about reliability just yet , but if you subscribe to Amazon’s cloud service if whenever does go out they replace it so there’s not much to worry about anyway. I highly recommend buying these especially if you can get them all they’re on sale. With my Xfinity modem/router tower I have full signal to all 5 cams and no need for any Wi-Fi boosters so they are pretty potent signal magnets too.

I really love my blink cameras! They are so easy to setup and use. I can see whatever is going on at my house at any time from anywhere on my smartphone. With a lot of thefts in our area and neighbors who are untrustworthy it gives me a lot more peace of mind having this added security. I only have one complaint so far after years of owning blink cameras from the first indoor white blink cameras to these new xt2 … and that is the motion sensitivity. If you put the sensitivity too high these cameras record constantly even with nothing in motion that I see that could have set them off but if you turn the sensitivity down they fail to pick up and record a lot of motion that goes on. I try to keep the sensitivity at 6 or 7 to not miss anything important but then my batteries run down pretty quick from all of the recorded video. And lithium AA batteries are quite expensive. I recommend purchasing and using wall charger to any cameras that you have access to an outlet nearby to save money on batteries. But these security cameras are a great value for what you get and ease of use. And you can mount them just about anywhere within range of your internet router. I have a wifi extender in my pool building which helps to use some of my cameras further away from my house on other parts of my property. I do not use the echo very much to view my cameras though because I can pull it up on my iPhone a lot quicker if I hear a noise outside etc. but you can just say Alexa show me the garage camera and it will pull it up and you can see what is going on. So it is handy when you do not have your phone in hand or just for hands free viewing. Did I mention that I love these blink cameras!? :)

I like it, it works well....

They are wireless and battery-powered, which eliminates the need for complicated wiring and power outlets. The cameras are reliable and compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. However, the battery life is not very long and the video quality is not the best. Additionally, the cloud storage options are limited. I would rate this product 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The Blink Outdoor (3rd Gen) - 5 camera system bundle with Echo Show 5 was good quality. They functioned as intended. I had no technical issues, and setting it up was easy. The yearly subscription is reasonably priced, too. Therefore, I highly recommend this system.

Great product. Clear picture within range as expected. Easy installation, cloud storage not expensive at all. Definitely worth buying.

This has been an amazing product for our home. We have two dogs and a child that we want to ensure are safe. Every time the dogs have managed to escape the yard, this has at least given us a sense of what direction they went (this could make a huge difference). Every time our teenage soon leaves or comes back we are able to safely and securely watch this without worry. I definitely do recommend anyone who needs that budget friendly option to go with this.
