Bought these on Prime day. Having major issues with the Infrared night vision where it's non-existent and at night it's just a black screen. Support says a firmware update is coming, but buyer beware that this has issues out of the box.
My experience:

30 cameras (10/10/10 - 1st gen, XT and XT2)
6 hubs
2 locations (3600sf home and 1200sf cottage)

If you go by Blink's formula, yes, you would get upwards of 18-24 months. In low traffic areas, I've had a few 1st gens go longer (with the no-name batteries they originally shipped with). I've also had some go less than 2 months (high traffic, extended recording, high sensitivity, etc.). It comes down to a number of factors (traffic, quality, environment, etc.).

In other words, it's a GREAT platform if you use it appropriately -- it is not a security system nor is it meant for 24/7 recording. Anyone who went into this relationship thinking otherwise did not do HIS/HER homework.
Weird. Mine are fine at night. Far better than I was expecting.

Returning mine from amazon prime day. Not waiting for firmware to fix issues.

Xt2 not ready for prime time = no deal.

I was surprised at how much I like this camera. Had read a decent amount of frustrated reviews and figured it was worth pulling the trigger to try it out on Prime Day. Picture is crystal clear and the motion detection works wonderfully. Really like the app and the free cloud storage as well.

I wasn't able to get anywhere with a price match or adjustment with chat support this morning.

Vishal: Amazon.com does not offer price adjustment or price match.
Me: There used to be a way to report a lower price. Does that option no longer exist?
Vishal: We will fill a form for this from our end and forward it to our concern department.
