sounds like a big reason to buy up as many Blink cameras as possible right now if they're going to replace them with Ring cameras for us for free.

They are only giving away the blink cameras because they are low-cost junk.

Just warning SD'ers so they don't fall for amazon's ploy.

They are much better than Ring in terms of battery life. Had both Ring spotlight and this one. I had to recharge Ring every 2 months, but I haven't changed the blink's 2 AA batteries in a year. They are running great.

Only cons of blink is there app isn't mature as Ring and doesn't integrate with Alexa, Google, etc., to automatically arm the system.

Do you have them listed under the same category?
Mine all arm at the same time.

Buy a mini and add it, bam 30 days free, delete it, readd, bam another 30 days free. I've had them all since idk when and yet to pay. Tho 10 dollars a month seems fine if I catch someone trying to mess around my house.

It has worked decent for me over the past 2 yrs. It just doesn't capture realtime , but i didn't do the subscription pay and using USB local thumb drive. Thus i get a recording about several minutes after sensor triggers an event. .I only had to reboot the sync module twice since i got it. good battery life too.

Amazon has the 2 camera kit with free mini for $100 or the floodlight mount with 2 camera kit for $105
Probably the best your gonna do unless you want to buy from Woot! (An Amazon Company). They have the Blink Outdoor 2 camera kit in used/acceptable condition for $69.99
I've bought a lot of XT2 cameras off of Woot! and except for a scuff on the body of one they appear new. Most likely customer returns.

I ordered these cause they were cheap, after now reading comments I'm going to cancel. Stick with my current multiple nest cam ecosystem and get new two pack of wireless outdoor cams. Just wish those were cheaper.

Eufy… I cringe thinking I almost bought a set of their cameras last year. I'm sure my cameras would've been part of the security breach. Causing others to undoubtedly cringe at what they saw. I know Eufy 'fixed' the problem and actually took blame for it but it shouldn't have ever happened.

Whatever system you go with, Eufy, Ring, Blink, Acme, etc. block your cams from having access to the internet from your router settings.

block cams access internet local router settings - care to explain more in detail how this is done? TIA

Exactly, First the cloud cams, then the blinks. They are killing off a product that works perfectly fine so they can charge for for a subscription, and once they have cleared out the blink line, then they will expect you to switch to ring.

People down voting those speaking the truth right here.

There's this too. I wanted the solar cam and floodlight. Wondering if buying this bundle would be a. Better option to get some more cams. However, the 3+1 cam kit above plus buying the flood/solar individually is around the same. Price. Lose the doorbell though. Hmm...

FYI -

Record, view, and save events in your Blink app with a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan. Then, subscribe for just $3 per month per camera, or $10 per month for unlimited cameras at a single location

Alternatively:

Save motion clips and photos from up to 10 Blink cameras connected to the Blink Sync Module 2 locally in your home and view them through the Blink app or the computer by plugging in a USB flash drive (sold separately) for no additional fee.

Unless you already have blink. I bought the first blink cameras and have been grandfathered in with no subscription plan
