Blink Floodlight camera - Wireless smart security Outdoor camera (3rd Gen) + LED mount, two-year battery, motion detection - 1 camera system (Black)

Update - Amazon reached out to me well past the warranty period and replaced the floodlight free of charge, including shipping. The new one works as expected.The camera has never worked. That’s a lot of money to put straight into a trash can

This is a good camera/floodlight system. There is only a tiny delay from motion activation to light and installation was pretty easy. I've only had to replace the batteries once in about 3 years. Integration with app is a synch and the camera has help up to the elements perfectly in humid Houston. The WiFi connection is solid, even at distance too. Overall it's a great camera/light combo.

So, originally I was gonna shell out some money to go with a ring system. I needed four cameras with floodlights, and a doorbell camera. Right before hitting submit, my husband's coworker friend told us to wait and look up the Blink system. I am VERY glad he stopped us. For one thing, this was at least $400+ dollars cheaper than Ring's bundle. I wasn't going to be able to grab a doorbell cam from Ring until later because adding one on was more than the budget I had. With Blink's pricetag, I could get the doorbell camera and still be saving $400+.For another, I wasn't sure how bright Ring's lights would be. The coworker said they weren't very bright, bright enough for the camera to have somewhat of a night vision, but not enough to do what I wanted, which was shine a light on the area the camera is pointed at. Blink's lights are very obvious on the camera, and they're very bright without being ridiculously so. It helps me out a ton at night in my back yard to see my porch, my steps, and any toys my son decided to leave as traps in my path. Don't know why he does this seeing as how I use a cane and a wheelchair sometimes. Maybe he's trying to give me one of those obstacle course challenges! They are also very responsive.The whole thing was so easy to set up and I love how they included multiple ways to attach the cameras to your home. I needed to use the siding clips for most of my house, but I did have to buy a hammer drill, masonry bits, and brick screws to mount one of the cameras to the front of my house that is all bricks. The app is really easy to use and allowed me to easily put my doorbell camera and my front camera on the same sync module, and then turn on only the doorbell camera as the front one still needed to be mounted. It also allowed me to block out the street in front of my house as my neighbors driving to their houses would set off the motion detection. Not a lot as I live on a short cul-de-sac, but still enough to be annoying. That was very easy to do with their zone option.The camera quality is SO GOOD too. MUCH better than Ring's in my opinion. Especially at night. I looked at a video of a friend's night time Ring camera that detected motion and you could BARELY make out the form of a bunny hopping past. My camera picks up those bunnies and squirrels at night clear as day. It's really cool to be able to see the animals move around at night and they don't set off the camera unless they're on or immediately around my back deck.All in all, I'd definitely recommend this camera system brand. You won't be disappointed!

Box was damaged. Product was covered in dust like it had been used.Update: after installing the light with the provided hardware, the light fell and destroyed the attached camera. The hardware is not enough to support the weight of the unit. Now I have a blink camera that needs replaced.2nd update: Blink support was super helpful and replaced damaged camera and floodlight. Excellent service.

The Floodlight Set Up Is A Great Idea! Just Make Sure Everything Is Compatible With What You're Getting. The Blink 4th Generation Camera Will Work With The Floodlight, Just Be Sure To Order The Micro-USB To USB C Adapter To Connect Between The Camera And The Flood Light! Otherwise You Will Not Be Able To Connect The Camera To Sinc With The Floodlight. When You Order The Floodlight Camera It Comes With A 3rd Generation Camera NOT THE BLINK 4. If Anything Else Changes Since I Am Finally Setting It All Up I Will Change The Review To Inform You All.......Thanks

Love this item but can't work the spot lights on its, but the camera works great

I tried one of these Gen 4 cameras along with the spotlight around my house. I thought it might be time to upgrade an old ring and camera spotlight that has been working for the last 3 to 4 years overlooking my rabbit cages pretty flawless. I thought about using cameras and spotlight all the way around my house. However I cannot get this camera or spotlight to come on doing a dance right in front of it even having the sensitivity turned up as sensitive as possible. The very old the sunburned and beat up ring however has no problems turning on at the perfect time every time. I don't even understand why the spotlight attachment and it's sold with that camera as the Gen 4 camera on live view is as clear with the night vision without the spotlight turned up to its brightest as it is without it. I also will purchased for a fraction of the price on Amazon LED solar power motion sensor lights and put them around my house. Those were perfectly in our three times brighter than that sad excuse for a spotlight overpriced blink spotlight. I don't even understand the purpose of it since the camera is better without it if it comes on at all most of the time the camera will pick up if I can wave my arms close enough to say hey I'm in your face please come on do your job and the spotlight still doesn't come on unless I have to manually turn it on with the app. So that spotlight is useless with the blink camera. I don't understand why anyone would buy this expensive spotlight when you can achieve 10 times better for fraction of the price with the solar power LED lights that are much brighter and work flawlessly. That's really the only reason I could come up with that blink without a spotlight to their camera. In case somebody walks by and needs lighting but unfortunately they are not bright at all and they do not work but one out of 10 times maybe while every other solar power light camera has come on just walking around my house. So this is a complete waste of money I wish I can get my money back as I am still trying to get this system to work and give notifications to my phone app properly. This has been nothing but a headache and a waste of time and I really wish I could just return everything and buy a different brand maybe even an old DVR night owl that works constantly. This is the most insecure feeling security camera. Sadly the camera on live you is very good with night vision but it's only exactly that a live view camera. Other than having an urge to turn on a camera from your phone somewhere on the outside of your house for some weird reason since there is no notification that says any specific camera has motion this system is completely useless. Indoor cameras are fun if you have pets. I sent three or four cameras around the house and I can live for you my pets while I'm gone and that's about as good as that system gets also but I'm okay with that I am just not okay with the amount of money I wasted on these outdoor cameras and completely useless spotlights. Amazon should take these back and return my money because it is not a faulty camera they are all terrible exactly the same from one to another. So this is not a answer that deserves you bought an inexpensive system when a 4-year-old ring spotlight can with a solar power charger that has been sitting in the sun and rain everyday still works flawlessly compared to this and looks out for my rabbits. I have caught coyotes looking at that cage, I have caught owls, other dogs, cats that I get to scare away as soon as I see them live but this blink will never catch anything unless it's 6 ft tall and 2 ft away waving straight at it hoping that it turns on.. that's not a system that's worth $50 less then a 4-year-old beat up ring spotlight cam, that's a system that should not even be sold as a working system. This is one example of four cameras around my house and they are all worse than the one I just mentioned. The only lights that come on around my house while I'm walking around or my cheap solar power LED lights that I purchased on Amazon and light up the whole area as I walk by. They actually light up the area so bright that if you look up you can see a non-working blink camera spotlight and Gen 4 camera just sitting there not working and yes the system is armed. If anybody has read my review this far down don't waste your money on this system. I have read all the reviews where people say you get what you pay for and it's not as expensive as others but I have tried it in the past indoor with my pets and I thought that was worth purchasing for when I go away. That is more of a toy than a security system. I did have an outdoor camera by my back door for when my pet sitter walks at my dog I could talk to them but I made a giant mistake thinking this could be used as security system and spotlight on the outside of my house. This is a terrible system. That wasn't crazy about ring and bring blows this away. Amazon should give me my money back and take your cameras back but either way they'll probably end up in the garbage and I'll go buy a cheap night owl system with a DVR and a monitor to provide a real security around my house
