What customers say about "Key Specs"

Blink Indoor Camera Home Security System with Motion Detection

True wirefree home security monitoring system. Easy setup. Strong sync module reception.
Camera is truly wireless. It runs on battery which lasts very long so I don't have to worry about wires. I hate wires so I automatically love this.
The resolution is pretty nice, I was able to catch a UPS thief this year steal a package from my front porch, so all good there.
Great resolution, good contrast, good sound quality, quick motion detection. Option to run the camera completely wirelessly. Syncs to Blink module quickly. Ability to schedule recording times.
The minimum motion sensing delay setting between the events. The minimum delay setting between the events is 10 seconds.
I recommend the camera but but first note the field of view is fairly small.

Blink XT Home Security Camera System

Picture quality is pretty good, especially for something powered by a pair of AAA batteries.
Image quality during day is excellent. Night time usage isn't crystal clear, but I live in a dark area and still amazed at what I can see!
No wires to deal with--great when you live in a house that can't easily run cabling or power.
The resolution is clear day and night. Actually captures people walking onto my porch, not as they're walking away (like the Ring did).
Picture in night mode is sub par for a 1080P camera (my $60 960P Amcrest camera's perform much better night mode).
No ability to zoom in which renders the 1080P resolution pretty worthless.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Blink Indoor Camera Home Security System with Motion Detection

Fairly small form factor. Easy to use.
Love the portability and the nifty idea of powering the sync module at all times so that the cameras themselves use very little juice.
Small, light and cute.
The size and weight of the camera, allows for many mounting and placement options.

Blink XT Home Security Camera System

It's really, really easy to set up. Cameras are really small and light.
Very compact and inconspicuous. Love the no-wires feature. Would be perfect if it had live view.
Like the easy set up and compact size of the unit. Picture is clear and sharp.
The camera is compact, and easy to mount interior and exterior.
Super easy set-up, color and clarity are great, night vision is very good, wireless compact device.

What customers say about "Features"

Blink Indoor Camera Home Security System with Motion Detection

No expensive proprietary batteries. The system uses readily available AA batteries.
Mounting options included are well designed to give you close to unlimited viewing angles.
I can view Live from any camera from anywhere! (I would never have purchased these otherwise.)
Has motion sensor to capture videos when there is a motion and camera is armed. This means I don't have to record all junk.
Has app and connected to internet so I can see it from anywhere in the world.
No motion sensing zone setup. Anything moves anywhere in the field of view will set off recording and alert.
You cannot arm/disarm the motion sensing of the individual cameras. Either they are are all armed or disarmed.
It does capture based on motion within its range but doesnt have night vision. I have few recordings at night but cant see a thing in there as it pitch dark.

Blink XT Home Security Camera System

Snapshot option and live view. Easy to set times for arm/disarm.
Reliable connection during the week plus I have it (much less bandwidth demanding than Ring doorbell for example for the same picture quality).
Can choose between battery operation or microUSB power.
WIFI Range--very good. I have one camera at the front of the house and the other camera about 100 feet away on the front of the garage.
This is a big one - no motion zones. This severely limits placement of the camera.
Live view takes too long to load (over 10 seconds at times).
Cameras do not handle shooting into bright light--for example, my front porch is 8 feet deep and sometimes the cameras have a static white balance and people can appear dark once they come onto the porch.
