This 2 pack of Blink indoor cameras is a great deal. The Blink cameras are great security cameras and these ones are a really good deal ($37.99 for the 2 pack at the time of this review). You save money by getting a 2 pack of these cameras versus a single camera. They come in white or black. The Blink app is easy to use and these cameras are super easy to setup. The motion detection works well and right now they are working on a beta feature to detect a person. So far, it’s working well. The video quality and night vision work really well for these cameras giving you peace of mind when using these cameras.

Bought this camera to keep an eye on my cat.
Pros: The camera is durable and made very well. The video quality is decent. The view is very wide angle. And at $20 it was a steal.
Cons: (1) Decrease in functionality once free premium subscription was over.
(2) Extended live view is only 5 mins without subscription.
(3) Subscription required for recording
(1) Other people wrote about this, so I ended the free subscription to see if the camera is worth keeping. The camera did in fact have a loading issue once the subscription was over. Where before the camera opened instantaneously, now it takes 2 to 3 seconds of load time before it opens. I definitely felt the difference enough to warrant buying a Kasa camera (where you don’t need to have a subscription for live extended view) and compare. (Note: KASA also as a lag time of 2 to 4 seconds, so not worth the change on that).
(2) IF you have raucous pets or kids or need to keep an eye out on an elderly parent for longer than 5 mins at a time then this camera is NOT for you — unless you’re okay with buying a subscription for extended live view. Basic is $30 a year, and premium is over a $100.
(3). If the desire is to use this for a security camera you will need a subscription. I don’t need this feature for my cat.
Conclusion: It’s a great camera for what it can do overall. It’s built very nice, and it has some weight to it. It doesn’t feel cheap at all. It also connected easily and quickly to my duel wi-fi (5 ghz and 2.5 ghz). For me, I bought this camera to keep an eye out on my cat. She’s pretty calm. I only check up on her a few times a day for a few seconds at a time. I don’t watch her for a minute. Without a subscription, hitting the continue button every 60 seconds is not an issue for my needs. Without a plan you get only 5 mins of continuous extended view. However, all you have to do is close the view and then hit play again and you get 5 more minutes. It’s that simple. If I were going out of town, I would likely buy the subscription for a month so I could keep it on for longer than 5 mins and to record video for security purposes.

I have recommended these to several of my friends & family- who also are VERY HAPPY owners if this same Security System & camera NOW.
I thanked the person who recommended these to me, probably 5 times.
I highly recommend this company.
The quality is superior. The videos are amazing, such awesome quality…day OR NIGHT. The night vision is wonderful. This newer version camera ALSO comes with an optional LIGHT, which in my opinion ISN’T NECESSARY but it’s great to have.
We feel so safe with this.
I own 1 outdoor , 1 doorbell & 2 indoor.. The older and the new versions [1 of each]. Also the SYNC device. So I’m a good person to talk to her about this company since I’ve used most of the products. I’ve been a user of BLINK for about 2 whole years now.
Only $3 per month per camera OR $10 per month for UNLIMITED cameras.
Unlimited storage via the app.
Or you can use the SYNC to store and backup without the monthly payments..I PERSONALLY love the APP.. so I’m gonna pay. But, everyone Is different and needs different security.
We also love the indoor camera to check on our pup and talk to her when we’re not home. ALSO, I work and Dad is home with baby..I feel safe to know that i can check in on em and see that everyone is OK..whenever, wherever..
and my son loves to talk to me on it when I’m gone too.
The motion detection is amazing also. and I truly LOVE That you can cancel out specific areas to not trigger the motion sensor. [I have a flag that blows when there is wind.. setting off the system..so all I did was pull up settings for THAT specific camera & choose which areas to exclude from the motion detection. I 100/100 recommended this camera for peace of mind and safety.

Beautiful picture. A bit more confusing to set up than my Ring camera, so follow all the directions at the Blink 2 site and be sure to link to your Amazon account. It is set up about seven feet high on an indoor apartment wall and has a great panorama. Also follow the directions for wall-camera placement and remove the stand from the bottom of the camera and re-attach it to the back of the camera. Very easy to look at the video and see all that is doing on. No issues and a very nice security camera.
