Blink Video Doorbell — Two-way audio, HD video, long-lasting battery life, wired or wire-free install, motion detection, chime app alerts, Works with Alexa (Black)

What a great wireless doorbell device. Absolutely love the recharging option. Depending on what your setting is effects how long the battery will last. We recharge about once every month or month and a half. Connects easily to the home wifi and very easy to use through the App. Night vision mode is great and the over all picture quality is great. Has like a fish bowl wide lens view. Able to answer the door through the app and through our home Alexa devices easily. We are going to buy the additional outdoor cameras for security around our house.

We’ve been using the Blink Video Doorbell along with a few Blink outdoor cameras, and I couldn’t be happier with the setup. The video quality is sharp, even at night, and the two-way audio is super convenient for talking to delivery drivers or giving friendly warnings to overly enthusiastic solicitors.Setup was a breeze—no complicated wiring or tech headaches. The Blink app is user-friendly and lets us keep an eye on things no matter where we are. It pairs perfectly with our outdoor cameras, creating a solid little home security system that doesn’t break the bank.Notifications come through quickly, and I love being able to check in on the house from my phone. Whether we’re home or away, it’s great knowing we can see and speak to whoever’s at the door. Total peace of mind!Highly recommend for anyone wanting simple, smart home security without all the hassle.

The media could not be loaded. I have been looking at video doorbells for a number of years, and have always found a reason to hold off buying them. Part of my reasoning is I already have Blink XT2 security cameras, I already have a number of Alexa devices, why would I want to add one more infrastructure to my smart home environment? Then I saw that Blink finally released their version of a video doorbell and it was able to connect to both the old Blink sync module (I have one of the old ones and have one of the free 2hours storage accounts pre-2020) and the newer Sync 2 modules, as well as connect to Alexa to do a number of things.Let's start the with basics. Installation is pretty simple, they even include a template to mark the wall for drilling and mounting. Two screws to mount the bracket to the wall. I also used a 30˚ bracket in addition to the standard back plate which comes with no directions but it is pretty simple to figure out. The system will allow you to connect to existing doorbell (16v - 24v) wiring if you have an existing doorbell chime, which I did not. Once you have the back plate mounted you can then hang the doorbell. NOTE: Do not mount the door bell until after you have added it to your Sync module and your Blink app since you will need the barcode on the back in order to join it. Adding the doorbell to the mount does require you apply pressure towards the back plate, and then slide it down about 1/32" to lock it into place. There are a number of reasons for this, including there is a gasket between the doorbell and the back plate that is there to keep moisture out, and you need to compress this while you slide it into place.Once you have it up and running you can add it to your Alexa devices using the Blink Skill and use any Echo to work as your doorbell chime. I originally enabled them all realized that it made sense to only have a few of them respond when the doorbell is pushed because it was very jarring to have every room in my house blasting with a chime and the announcement of "Someone is at Your Front Door". Also if you have an Echo Show you can preview the doorbell, and any of the other cameras on the display screen.Overall the video and audio quality is good for what it is, and the Android app works perfectly with the devices. It is easy to view recorded interactions, and download the files from the cloud to the phone. After installing this at my house I also added one with a Sync 2 module at my girlfriends house, and she loved the benefits of having one, which all prompted her to have me add two more security cameras.I would highly recommend this system, keeping in mind the following:- You need to have a Sync module to make this actually work because of how the video is accessed.- You do not need a preexisting doorbell chime and transformer, but if you have one you can hook into it.- If you do not have a doorbell Chime can use an Amazon Echo device to work as one if not you will only get the notifications on your phone.- No mater how you hook it up, you will need to have the batteries installed to power the camera, and currently there is no way to hardware and power the system even if it is hooked up to a doorbell transformer.

The video of this doorbell camera is flawless! Vibrant color, vividly crystal clear video during the day and at night you can see everything equally as clear! Nice size and you can adjust the sensitivity of motion detection. The 2 way audio leaves a lot to be desired. It cuts out intermittently all the time. This happens on all of the cameras. I have 8 cameras including the doorbell and they all have the same issue...2 way audio cuts out. I can be heard just fine from my phone but it's when speaking to the camera that it's an issue. Audio cuts out! I checked Wi-Fi signals and they're strong plus the cameras aren't more than 50ft from the router! Three cameras are within 10-15 feet of the router. Router and cameras are on the 2.4G band. It is really frustrating. I even took 7 cameras offline to see if having so many is a problem but had the same results...audio is intermittent. If anyone else had this issue and were able to resolve it, I'd appreciate you sharing the resolution. Otherwise, I love the cameras and they have helped me resolve some issues. I've told all my neighbors about them and showed them video. They decided to go with Blink as well.
