It can never load
I have good moments but more bad moments when trying to view my cameras. It will just think and think and think until you have to reboot and it will continue to do the same over and over, even with solid WiFi. What’s truly the purpose of this things cannot stay true to its word and. Record something or even protect? I only kept it because it was gifted to us. Other than that, I would have looked elsewhere. It just seems it wants to work when it wants to, and then act horribly the remainder of the time. Can’t even get into my camera 90% of the time. Absolute garbage.

Worst Service Ever
I’ve had these cameras for over a month now and since day one I’ve had issues with each and every one of them every time I call nobody seems to know what they’re doing. They’re always having a place me on hold and keep me on mute for periods of time every time I call, they gave me a different excuse as to why my system is not working they’re constantly provider I’ve had my Internet service provider come out to my house several times and they Make sure that their system is not the issue so I end up calling Blink back and they always give me a different excuse every time I call back experience this is the worst experience I have ever had in my life. I don’t feel secure with these product. It’s absolutely ridiculous that you have people that don’t know what they’re doing when you call. They always come up with something different. Sending you replacement parts telling you something else is wrong instead of the last rep told you this is absolutely horrible.

DON'T BUY ANYTHING BLINK, CanNot Count On Critical Videos Being There After 12 Hours
MINUS 3-Stars AND IN FREE FALL
AUG 2026
Latest update broke app on iPhone 17 w/latest iOS. App won’t launch or it launches and quits in a millisecond.
JAN 2026 I have fewer them 400 videos and they are deleting them at less than 12 hours. Don’t buy Blink.
DEC 2025 I guess enough people complained that they've decided to give back the account badge. That's nice. With the last update they have started deleting your videos every 18 hours instead of 24 hours. Saying they let you keep them for 60 days is total BS.
OCT2025 They got rid of the video count badge on the icon. For $120 per year you should know how many, if any, videos you have.
THE LATEST UPDATE: The latest update put something at the top of the screen that will not go away. This is a mobile app there isn't much space to see our Blink camera list screen anyway.
This thing, whatever it is, has two large thick full-screen-width category boxes with Start in one box and End in the other. They must be trying to make us stop using our cameras.
Don't worry Blink, We Will Stop Using OUR Cameras. When these die we will be replacing them with a different brand.

My life line
I am usually not the type of person to want cameras around me but after someone tried to break in my home I had to protect my family and these small cameras came in handy no commercials while I look at my camera now that is what I cared about the most and I can talk through all the devices and see who is at my doorbell through Alexa no complaints here I don’t care about the subscription plan you can purchase it or not but I purchased it for my safety

Loading
If you do not pay for the service its abysmal I have a janky no name camera system that I had planned on replacing with blink but since the subscription expired I cannot get any of my camera to load up its constant loading matter of fact its loading while I write this review so I know its not my service do not use these cameras there’s much better options that actually load when your trying to see them had someone ringing my doorbell earlier by the time I got the dam thing to open they had been gone for 10 mins crazy poor connection for non subscription…..

Impossible to set up on your own.
I hate you blink
The cameras NEVER work and fail to load at the most inconvenient times. I can’t express my frustration.
constantly loading
please fix this. It’s so random and god forbid I need to view it in an emergency 😒
Absolute garbage
It never opens, and will just sit there and buffer and buffer and buffer. I’ve had several moments where I’m concerned about something that’s happening - notably a FIRE near my house - and the app wouldn’t open. And when it finally does the cameras won’t load. I’ve contacted blink and confirmed it is not a camera issue nor is it a WiFi issue. It’s an app issue. Nothing has been fixed - in fact it’s gotten worse over time. What’s the point in having cameras if it takes over 30 minutes and 2 soft resets to get the app to open to view them?

Last update broke everything
Last firmware update bricked up my sync module 2!
I have way too much money invested to have everything gone from an update!

Local Storage Constantly Breaks
Update: The system is completely unusable now and the local storage clips disappear completely, never to be seen again. Why, when I own the video doorbell and the sync module? It’s obviously the app that is doing this as it happens every time there’s an update, like recently. Open the clips and it wants to default to cloud clips 3 or 4 times before it will stick on local storage. I totally regret this purchase and this has been a horrible experience. I’m an experienced IT guy so I know it’s not my very high speed, high quality, internet/local network.
I’ve been using for a year now. If using local storage, every time there’s an app update, or also at random times, it breaks and stops uploading your videos. You’ll still get the notifications and everything will seem normal, but the videos disappear into the ether, never to return. You have to do some combination of unplugging and replugging in the sync module, logging out and into the app, deleting and downloading again the app, or all of the above. At this point it seems like a ploy to try and force you into a subscription.

No Live View
Day #5 no live view I spent 6 hours on the phone between Blink and My internet provider each pointing the finger at each other! I’ve been in every forum and tried every trick and reset nothing is working! This is utter garbage
Fix this one issue and it would be perfect
Does not send notifications no matter what you do. My daughter also has the same issue at her home as well.
Notifications have been glitched for over three months
Duplicate notifications when schedule notifications arrive, at which point the watch app will send a notification one by one for every clip you haven’t viewed yet. Terribly annoying.
Worse than one star
This system is a joke. It won’t even connect to my basic spectrum router even after going into the settings and changing it to a 2.4 ghz.
No multi-view?
It’s 2026, why on earth can we not see multiple cameras at one time?! Random off-brand apps have had this feature for years
Can barely use app anymore!
I’ve paid for yearly subscriptions for years, but since June; the App barely works! It crashes all the time. When it’s not crashing, it’s throwing error messages and then just “freezes”. I’m using an iPhone 14 and really irritated that all of this started right after I renewed. Now the app crashes within 5 seconds of trying to open it.

Difficult
Although they are generally reliable, they occasionally experience unexpected outages. Despite being connected via WiFi, power outlets, and other devices, they may still remain offline. Additionally, one of my new cameras lacks a motion sensor, which fails to notify me of any movement. Furthermore, the video feed from the cameras is delayed when accessed.

Pathetic
Most unreliable app I have ever used. To be clear I use local storage because Amazon can stuff their subscription prices. Easily half the time you try to view a clip it errors, or just spins interminably. Live view works, but can be delayed until it’s no longer needed.
