5.0 out of 5 stars Nice little camera

Motion detection can be limited to humans, which is good for security. No more false notifications when a spider spins a web in front (something my Blink Outdoor does).You can configure its small light to come on when it detects motion. I don't know how effective the light is, since I have motion detecting outdoor lights that come on at the same time anyway.However, because it integrates so well with the Alexa app, I do use a combo of human motion detection and Alexa to turn on a light inside the house that's got a WiFi/Alexa enabled switch and then turn it off again 5 minutes later, if it's nighttime.Value for money is good - it's regularly available at a much reduced price on Bolo (though the outdoor kit never seems to get a discount)Set up, adding to my Blink app, is quick and easy (just got to know your WiFi password when it asks).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality that does the job

Excellent cameras. They do what's on the label. £50 for 4 with Bolo Prime not bad. Easy to set up. Set up with or without a Sync module. Plug in so no need to worry about battery life. Very bright light at night to illuminate intruders. 1080p resolution ok. 2K+ may be better? Motion detection good & follows person if going from one room to another with a camera. Bought with Blink doorbell (poor quality - needs 2K+ resolution) & Blink 4 cameras (ok), to have on the same system & use the Sync module 2 to record videos onto a USB rather than pay subscription.

4.0 out of 5 stars reasonable quality product, does what it says....

good quality build and well designed; works as stated, can connect from anywhere over internet and can watch passageways/room/objects in real time ; good clarity and night vision works; easy to setup and once setup no further work, just clicks on phone screens; works for android, may be sometimes it lags couple of seconds to load picture to load but i think it's due to mobile tower range; or usual network delay across distance. only minus is these cameras need to be connected to AC mains; so no battery option. decent speed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cameras - bargain Price

C.T. · 18 February 2025

These are great quality cameras for the price point. Working with the on-line subscription or the hub that is also available, they can be set up with motion detection zones and adjustable sensitivity to allow you to get real-time notifications on your phone when motion is detected. This can be in colour if there is enough light, or B/W for night vision. They will help you keep an eye on your space at all times. Not only can you watch, but you can also talk and listen through the camera using the Blink app, so perfect for communicating with family members or pets while you're away from the room they're covering.You can also switch on or off the small light illuminating the general area of the camera, which is useful too. To store video clips, you’ll need a Blink Subscription Plan, which requires a monthly fee. Unlike some cameras, this one must be plugged in (it uses an adaptor and USB connector), so where they can be placed is limited by access to power nearby (it has a 2m USB connector initially but that can be extended with an extension USB cable.It is an excellent budget-friendly security camera, with great video quality, color night vision, and smart features. While having to subscribe for cloud storage (or purchase of a hub), and it's wired setup may be minor drawbacks, it’s still a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable indoor security camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars £24.99 for two on Prime Day is an absolute bargain

Two cameras for £24.99 is nothing to sniff at. The picture quality is excellent, and it’s rare to find an indoor camera with a built-in flashlight at this price point. It works seamlessly with my Echo Show 8 — being able to ask it to show the camera at any time of day to check on my cat is priceless.The only thing I’d say is: don’t buy it at full price. Wait for Prime Day to grab it at a great discount.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little camera with good software

S. · 3 June 2025

Very nice little camera, good field of view and the switch between IR mode and normal mode works well. I needed to mount mine upside down so I was glad to find the software including the ability to invert the image. I'd happily buy a few more of these but bear in mind you do need a socket available, unlike some other, battery power Blink cameras.

3.0 out of 5 stars One stopped working quite quickly

I have been using various Blink cameras for five years and they have always been easy to install and operated reliably, giving good quality recordings.Unfortunately, one of these cameras disconnected itself and I cannot get it to reconnect. This is really disappointing considering my previous good experience.
