    do you need to use the subscription or can one go without it?

      https://support.blinkforhome.com/en_GB/subscription-features…

      scroll down bottom and expand table to compare the free plan v paid plan. But TLDR the basic functionality of being a camera is free, motion activated recording is free* (as long as you bought the additional $79 Sync Module, BYO USB Flash drive).

      • REEGZ on 15/11/2024 - 11:55

        Amazon page description says Sync Module 2 included.
        "Save and share clips — No monthly fees required when using local video storage functionality with the Sync Module 2 (included) and a USB drive (sold separately). Or choose to store events in the cloud with a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan."

          Yeah it's a bit confusing as it's only mentioned at the end of the entire description. I re-read it after seeing this comment and got in touch with Amazon Support because I had purchased the sync module separately (don't need two).

          They responded saying: "the blink camera bundle is included with the sync module". So I've cancelled the sync module, $300 for 5 cameras and the module is pretty good.

    The Blink Mini 2 compared to the Tapo C210, this one needs a subscription to give Person detection notifications lol

    Otherwise wouldve given the Blink 2 Mini (indoor) a shot.

    Add-on camera is for$60, so it's $5 cheaper instead you buy 2-pack/3-pack

  • zol on 15/11/2024 - 12:16

            @sun sunny: No - just the one sync module which you power up via USB and then connect the WiFi

      • yoquierotaco on 15/11/2024 - 12:56

        Dont you just need 1 sync module? Can connect up to 10 devices. I dont think you need one for each device but someone please correct if this is wrong.

        • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 12:59

          Yes just the 1 sync module - the add on camera option is the only 1 that doesn't come with the sync module which you need

  • rodpolky on 15/11/2024 - 12:17

    What's the best rechargeable battery for these - I've got the Blink 2 outdoor cameras and have been using Eneloops, but they're flat in a week or so…

    Think I need to go lithium

    • Pelicannn on 15/11/2024 - 12:28

      That doesn’t seem right. They’re saying two year battery life on 2 x AA’s. Would using Eneloops really knock them down to a week?

      • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 12:30
        +1

        The 2 batteries that are suppied are lithium, so more powerful than Eneloops (you're actually only meant to use lithium) but they still work with Eneloops…. I'm just after a rechargeable lithium so I don't have to change over so often

        • azukay on 15/11/2024 - 12:45
          +2

          A lot of rechargeable lithium AA batteries have a sudden voltage dropoff so the battery indicator% won't work properly, it will go from full battery to low battery pretty suddenly. Basically the cell will maintain 1.5v until the charge drops to 20% and then suddenly only provides 1.2v for the remaining time.

          • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 12:52

            @azukay: Yeah that's was i thought - found these which have a constant 1.5V - a bit pricey though!!

            • azukay on 15/11/2024 - 12:55

              @urbancartel: you can try aliexpress, it is cheaper there, but just avoid the ones with crazy high mAH since that would be fake.

            • ad62623 on 15/11/2024 - 12:59

              @urbancartel: I've been using XTAR. Had a couple early failures (including the charger), and their support was a bit lousy.
              Amazon support were great, and the batteries themselves, excluding the failures, have been great.
              I'm using them in a door lock, as having a constant 1.5v is helpful to keep the motor moving fast.
              Using alkaline or nimh, the motor slows down and it's a bit annoying.

              They also have a low battery warning, when they get low, they drop from 1.5v to 1.1v, which then makes the doorbell sing a song, indicating charge time.

              • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 13:06

                @ad62623: Yeah i had a look at those - looks like they drop to 1.1v when they get to around 5/10% charge left - what charger do you have, the LC8 or BC8? Thanks for the info

                • ad62623 on 15/11/2024 - 14:05

                  @urbancartel: I had the lc4, but it stopped working and had a small section of melted plastic.
                  Amazon accepted the return and now I have a lc8. 8 slots is overkill, I can't imagine needing to charge so many so often, but it was the best deal at the time.
                  Definitely wait for deals, should be some coming up for BF.

    Says your recordings are deleted after 60 days, but what if you save them on a USB drive locally?

    If I go on holiday for 3 months and find damage or something stolen, can I go back the whole 3 months, or just the 60 days?

        It’s not actually a holiday. I have to leave my house for medical reasons and it costs a lot. Is that OK with you and the other 16 people that think that’s funny?

    • clintdb on 15/11/2024 - 16:21

      If you choose to pay for the plan and get recording saved to the cloud for 60 days, I am pretty sure you can save individual recordings to your phone etc at any time during those 60 days, thus keeping them forever.
      They just won't be accessible through the Blink ecosystem - but you will still have them.

      • wfdTamar on 15/11/2024 - 16:49

        I was wondering what the options were if you don't have a plan. Is there remote access to the stuff on the drive so if you get a message an event has happened, can you access it and possibly save it indefinitely. Same kind of thing you could do with a conventional system.

        I can understand them limiting space used on the cloud version, but you'd think a local hard drive stored one, should be up to you how long you keep stuff.

        • clintdb on 16/11/2024 - 21:52

          Yes, you can save footage to a card in the Sync module and if you are watching live view then you could always screen record from your phone I suppose.

    I'm slowly replacing all these Blink cameras in my house with Reolink ones.

    No matter how much they discount, in long term you still pay a lot more than other cameras that offer the same thing. Without subscription, this camera only offers basic "motion detection" which cause a lot of false alarms. You can store videos locally but by the time you can load them remotely, whatever needed your attention was already gone.

    Reolink cameras tick all the checkboxes for me. Good AI detection, support local-only mode, has good deals throughout the year, strong integration with smart home solutions.

    • Reverbs on 15/11/2024 - 14:15

      I presumed, you will start off by buying the hub and slowly built up the system from there?

      • zeppy on 15/11/2024 - 15:33

        I'm trying to avoid the Hub until I can't. I'm running Home Assistant on an old Intel NUC box. So far it does everything I need.

        It's a bit tricky to integrate the battery-powered camera (Argus series), but it's possible with the neolink library.

        • Reverbs on 15/11/2024 - 17:33

          Zeppy is the reason because of the price of the hub or do you have any other reason?

          • zeppy on 15/11/2024 - 19:50

            @Reverbs: It's about the features. The Hub is for better local storage and integration with smart home. I already have NAS and Home Assistant which cover most of the features of Hub. The most compelling reason for me to get a Hub is the integration with their battery-powered cameras. Those things don't expose RTSP feed and their APIs are private so I have to rely on some hacks for Home Assitant to work. When/if those hacks stop working, I need to seriously consider the Hub.

            • Reverbs on 15/11/2024 - 22:20

              @zeppy: Thanks, I don't have proper cabling and will need to buy several wireless camera. I might go down to the path of buying the hub.

    • quiteguy on 15/11/2024 - 14:46

      Currently I have a mix of Ring and Reolink cameras. Reolink cannot send motion detection alerts to Alexa but Ring can. If you are looking for creating Alexa routines triggered by motion alerts then avoid Reolink. Also the video feed from Reolink takes a bit more time to load on echo show devices compared to ring. However Ring requires subscription but on Reolink you have the option of local storage and also cheaper solar options.

      • zeppy on 15/11/2024 - 15:45

        It's not trivial, but if you already invested in home automation, you can send notifications from Reolink -> Home Assistant -> Alexa.

  • HappyACS on 15/11/2024 - 13:51

    @zeppy can you please share a link for the reolink product?

    • zeppy on 15/11/2024 - 15:41

      For wired cameras, I used RLC-820A and RLC-520A (the A at the end means AI, which means it support person/pet/vehicle instead of just motion). For battery-powered, I use Argus 3.

    Am I being dumb here or if you buy 1 Camera for $75 then get an add-on camera for $60, doesn't that come out at $135 and therefore 3 Cameras is $195.

  • Karl Pilkington on 15/11/2024 - 14:57
    +1

    Paying $60-75 per camera and then an additional $150 per year to achieve basic functionality that you'd want from any security camera seems utterly ludicrous to me. You're far better off investing in someone from the outset that either doesn't use a subscription service or allows you to host locally.

    • alterego13 on 15/11/2024 - 15:04

      Save and share clips — No monthly fees required when using local video storage functionality with the Sync Module 2 (included) and a USB drive (sold separately).

      This line in the description says you can host locally without subscription.

      • bcYield on 15/11/2024 - 16:01
        +2

        Without a subscription, features are very limited based on this table i.e. only motion but not person detection; live streaming but not recording; hence, only clips will be saved to the usb stick. That might be good enough for some/many people to set and forget. For security, person detection is recommended as the motion is not reliable. Some people use it for plant monitoring which is ok.

        With the upsized cashback, I think I'll give it a try for the 2-year long battery life. The blink mini 2 is also on sale for $50 for 2pk. $125 in total for 3 cameras with a local recording hub is a good start for those who want an entry level security camera system.

    If I wanted to use the cameras in 2 homes (a few streets apart) It sounds like i will need to buy 2 separate packs right so that they come with the sync module each. It looks like all the packs only come with 1 module. Maybe 3 cameras per home, so if i was going to get this i should get 1 5 pack and 1 solo pack basically.
