Solid Camera. Very sharp image. Blink software gets the job done.
I love how bright this light is. It does a great job of lighting up my property at night. The software is pretty good, but sometimes it says SYSTEM BUSY. This happens mainly when you switch from one camera to another. The camera looks well-built, and physical installation was a breeze.

Loved it so I got a second one.
These Blink flood lights are incredible. They are very easy to install, work effortlessly, have excellent customization abilities and works exactly as it is meant to.The camera has plenty of visibility and is high quality. The ability to zoom in makes the camera that much more of a benefit, not just for safety but to make sure my dogs are still napping on the porch when Iâm inside.

It works fine, but 3 days later, keep offline
I purchased 3 wired floodlight cameras, they work fine, however, starting from last night, one of them suddenly offline. I press the restart button, and reconnect wifi, looks like it back to work this morning. But 2 hours ago, that camera was offline again. Due to it was offline, so not only camera is not work, also the light can not turn on. It was totally dead.I paid to hired a electrician help me to installed it, so should not electrical issue. Really have no idea how to fix the problem. It is really annoyed.

Excellent for the price
***updateSo recently I have notice the setup challenge that me and my father had been experiencing seems to have gone away. The cameras seem to setup with out a hitch now. I am wondering if blink did some sort of firmware upgrade I do not know.However I still can not give 5 stars. We ran into a problem on one of the flood light cameras that he has purchased. Normally this be no big deal but blink stone walled him on getting a replacement camera. Even though the camera was only a few weeks old and he is paying subscriber. They spent hours upon hours on troubleshooting a issue that was an obvious hardware failure. In fact it took me to drive a hour to his place and get on the phone with blink and him and for me to argue with the rep to get them to replace the camera. Even then they sent him what appeared to be a open box or refurbish camera that had issues right out of the box, which he spent hours arguing with Blink on the phone. Once again I had to drive a hour up to his place and argue IT lingo on the phone to get the rep to replace the defective replacement. Even then he had to get amazon involved. Once the amazon rep made the call to blink things seem to change quickly. What gives blink if a camera does not work and its under warranty and you have a customer paying for subscription you should be a little more respectful of the situation.Come one blink help get to where I can give you 5 stars!!! I want to believe you are a cost effective security solution. Me and my father are talking about using these in one of his physical store fronts in his business. That is a purchase of 25 cameras solid. Make us life long customer by getting your customer service together!***original Review:I purchased this flood light camera for my father. He’s been looking to get a security system that can easily send him updates over his phone. Instead of a system that just simply records on site.The camera and flood light is good. The floodlight is very bright and lights up a large area around where it’s stalled. I would say it lights up about at least 50 ft, if not more from where it has been installed. It records very well, it has made it through several rain storms since he’s installed it, and it gives him some a sigh relief knowing when he’s at work everything is good at home.My Only complaint and the reason why I can only give this camera four stars, is it’s glitchy app that sets up blink cameras. It’s very difficult to get any blink device to easily communicate with a home Wi-Fi signal. I have a blink camera installed on my home, and my father has purchased several different types of blink cameras, since I provided him with this one. Everyone of them is a challenge to setup. It has nothing to do with understanding the setup. The instructions are simplistic, and the ideal behind setting them up is simplistic. But when it comes to your camera tying in to your local Wi-Fi the challenge begins.No matter what you do it seems it will take up to 15 to 20 if not more failed attempts before a camera can enjoy your local WiFi network. For someone you like me that has an IT background it can be easily overcome. For some one like my father who does not it this is a real frustration and makes him feel like the devices are not good quality. I have to reassure him several times, the cameras and the service is great, there’s just some challenges with the app communicating with your local Wi-Fi. This is the reason I can only give four stars for these cameras.If there was the way to ensure they were able to communicate with your local network easier during setup, five stars would be guaranteed for the system. I hope blink continues to work on this.

Excellent and Easy; But See Edit
Ordered other cameras that were a pain to set up or didnât connect to Starlink at all. Very simple to install and connect. Crisp video and the app can turn the floodlights on. Super cool!Edit after some use: The floodlights have to be set so sensitive in order to come on that the camera alerts to cats and tree limbs swaying in the breeze in the daylight hours. I have to get within 20 feet of the camera after dark in order for the floodlights to come on. Still like the cameras but was disconnected in this.

Would try the patience of a Dalia Lama…
1) It’s ridiculous to have to pay for features like extended viewing time when that’s a free feature elsewhere and when it really requires nothing on the part of the manufacturer… after all, it’s my network and my phone’s data use, unless I’m on Wi-Fi, so there’s nothing there for them to be charging people.2) A simple 5-minute Installation took several hours… BECAUSE, to me, if an item requires anything beyond physical installation to work, then ALL of that is part of the Installation.The physical installation of the light is or should be, depending on your residence, a straightforward “5-minute” installation.You might need a step-stool or ladder to reach your light fixture.You might need a pair of small pliers to remove decorative nuts that hold the old fixture in place, as they might be rusted in place.You will need a Phillips screwdriver.You can probably reuse existing electrical wire but connectors.You can probably reuse the existing screws from the existing fixture bracket that spans the electrical box.You MUST use the Blink bracket for this product and it must sit flat in the box.I say that because I discovered two brackets when I removed the light fixture, instead of a single correct bracket… which led to a less than desirable seal arround the base… which led to rusting of the two (instead of the required four) screws that secured the box to the outside wall… which led to someone eventually fixing the electrical issues they surely encountered by trying to encircle the entire base with an indoor silicone sealant… which weathered badly and failure to stay adhered properly to the base of the fixture and the fascia of the residence…. because two screws diagonally opposed is never as correct as four required screws, nor as good at properly holding the weight of the fixture.End result was the top of the base pulling away from the wall, tearing the weathered indoor sealant and exposing the wiring AND the Wall to unwanted moisture.You definitely need a silicone sealant… But make sure that you use one that’s made for outdoor use. UV light on indoor sealant is obvious to everyone in a short period of time and that sealant does fail.3) The “all-day install” came with the Blink Device Setup.It was as if the Blink Device and Blink Network were learning each step, failing, needing to start over AND THEN managing to successfully move to the next step… At least some of the time.The process was painfully slow.I’m not joking when I say that the AOL Dial-up connected faster than the Blink Device.Blink even tried telling me that my network password was incorrect and could not connect the device… And it showed me my password, which was definitely NOT incorrect.I found this particularly infuriating since the Blink Device used the password to reconnect my phone to the network in order to access the Blink Servers, but then decided that the problem was the password.I’ve rarely encountered a similar situation.I’ve NEVER encountered a situation where the device seemed to fail-learn-start over-proceed at EVERY SINGLE STEP …And never have I seen a device take so long to Discover or be Discovered.Oddly enough and thankfully so, the device got faster at Discover with each attempt… but it was never close to instant nor even an acceptable amount of time.Perhaps it was due to the age of the device, because it did require an update after it was finally connected.Regardless, it was unacceptable.4) The camera has a limitation to it’s sideways orientation that did not seem to have a fix, even after fully loosening the nut that secures the camera position.This meant having to twist the camera, like a clock-hand, in order to achieve the site coverage that I desired…. BUT having the image at an angle and presentation that was undesirable.I will look at that another day, but after realizing that more than 3 hours had already passed, I was done with Blink!And the second wired floodlight camera for the front of the house will have to wait.I am a bit undecided about the quality and the color of the images, even in Live View.I have honestly seen far better for less on a Name Brand with a longer existence/track record and presence here on Amazon.Therefore, I am at a loss as to why this system pales badly in comparison since the technology exists and is simple and straightforward.5) The sound quality is NOT great… and not really even good.Again, living in a quiet area, I should not have to strain to determine what I’m hearing when the next door neighbor uses a table saw, lawn mower or chain saw.As for talking to someone through the speaker… that seemed to work sometimes but had a very long delay and was very quiet.In fact, when the neighbor was running any of the aforementioned tools (500′ or more away), then it was impossible to hear anyone talking (1′-2′ away from speaker).6) Was it really a good deal???At 44% off of retail on the Big Prime Deal days, then it’s not a horrible loss.However, by comparison, the images, audio, etc are no deal, not even compared to the latest NOR the Previous Generation of my Ring Doorbells, which also came via Amazon.I do not consider Blink to be on par with Ring, based on this overall experience with this first of two Blink products that I’ve opted to try.Wireless indoor newest generation Blink cameras are on the way… and I’m already thinking they maybe they, too, were a mistake.Summary Advice: If you need a low-cost solution for peace of mind or casual monitoring, then maybe a Deal on Blink is acceptable.If you need sharp images in every mode, especially for critical monitoring, then you need something better than Blink…. even if the specifications seem to be the same, the product’s performance, thus far, is nowhere near the same.
