Does anyone have one of these systems? And do you like it? I am thinking of replacing my SimpliSafe system
I have the Outdoor 4 and a doorbell camera with two Sync XR Modules. I'm running 10 cameras across two homes. All battery powered (the cameras). Here's been my experience in the past 3.5 months since purchased and installed:
- One camera's batteries failed after a week of moderate use (think 5x 10s clips a day). Blink replaced the batteries (Energizer Lithium AA). It took them almost two weeks to arrive.
- Second camera's batteries failed after a month of moderate use. Blink replaced them. Same long delivery time.
- Two more cameras had failed batteries at the two-month mark. I decided to buy my own Energizer Lithium AAs and replace them myself.
- Doorbell failed completely at 3 months. I'm waiting for a replacement.
- Cameras don't pre-recording like other brands (e.g. Reolink).
In short, these cameras are cheap for a reason. If I were to go back in time, I'd seriously reconsider purchasing them given all the strife I've had in such a short timespan. That said, while others complain about needing to pay to unlock a lot of features, I'm able to pay one annual price whether it's 1 camera or 20 cameras. So, amortizing the cost across cameras and per month, it's really trivial. If I was concerned about my own property (the one I live in), I'd choose a different manufacturer.
I think I'll stick with Simplysafe for now thanks for the review
Indeed the biggest flaw of the Blink System is the batteries dying too soon. I just purchased some solar panels to add to my exterior cameras to see if that helps. Additionally they also have a version of the outdoor 4 that comes with a solar panel and the newer Solaris ones that are also solar. So looks like sales have been going down enough for them to actually create a solar version.
I have both Ring cameras/doorbell and Blink cameras - Amazon sent me Blinks to replace discontinued Amazon ones they shut down. Anyways, I feel like Ring system seems more substantial/legitimate, but it also seems a bit more involved to install and use. I like the Blink price point and because of the replaceable battery, they just seem simple to put up, and then move around sometimes. The only thing I'd recommend that I didn't realize when I started is you can avoid a subscription for most simple features (alerts+clips) if you add a microSD card to the module. My point is there are definitely better options out there, but I like the price point of the Blink system.
