    Thanks op, will give this a try.
    P.S bezos still sucks.

    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."

        • adelliah on 15/11/2024 - 12:08

          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.

            @adelliah: Almost did the same, only place I found confirmation on the listing page was the above. Glad you found it elsewhere.

  • quiteguy on 15/11/2024 - 12:05

    Can this push motion detection notifications to Alexa like Ring camera (and also compatible with Alexa routines)?

    • OZB Al on 15/11/2024 - 12:08

  • kehuehue on 15/11/2024 - 12:07

    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.

    Some of amazon's apps really suck ass (looking at their Photos app)

  • hothot on 15/11/2024 - 12:16

    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

    If you only need one, you can select to buy an addon camera for $60 rather than an individual camera for $75

    • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 12:28

      That doesn't come with the Sync module, so would be useless

        I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up

        • sun sunny on 15/11/2024 - 12:59

          does each camera need a sync module to work?

          • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 13:01
            +1

            @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

    I'm pretty keen on this thanks for sharing have been thinking of installing camera's for a while. Anyone here using these at the moment??

  • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 12:21

    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

        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
          +1

          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.

  • Gr8deel on 15/11/2024 - 12:23

    I'm a bit wary when you see 3 reviews on the Amazon website
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Introducing-Blink-Outdoor-Wireless…

    and 2 of them are clearly fake reviews by shills.

    • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 12:24

      Theres plenty of reading on the US site

      • kev go westie on 15/11/2024 - 12:31

        whats your experience with them? I dont intend to use their subscription so am concern about the lack of function without subscription.

        • urbancartel on 15/11/2024 - 12:34

          I find them great - i've had both the 1st version and 2nd version (imported them both from the states with black Friday deals)

          Saying that I've never had any other cameras to compare them too

  • Pelicannn on 15/11/2024 - 12:27

    Wondering if you can price beat at Bunnings as they’re sold in store too.

    • lanriver on 15/11/2024 - 12:33

      Worth asking though

  • looking4food on 15/11/2024 - 12:32

    Can I buy them standalone to set up or need some sort of server?

  • wfdTamar on 15/11/2024 - 12:41

    The annual (monthly) plans are:
    Basic $49.95 ($4.95) that's only for 1 device.
    Plus $150 ($15) unlimited devices

  • wfdTamar on 15/11/2024 - 12:43

    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?

    • montorola on 15/11/2024 - 12:50

      If you can afford to go on holidays for 3mths, you can afford wired cameras! :P

  • DingoBlue on 15/11/2024 - 12:49

    Any generic transport?

    How do these compare to the Eufy cams?

    While I like the concept of the Eufy cams, I found the range from their camera to the homebase unit to be appalling (i.e. not for large houses or multiple walls).

  • hoxygt on 15/11/2024 - 12:53

    So do these store anything without a subscription plan?

    edit - found answer - requires sync module and USB

  • wfdTamar on 15/11/2024 - 12:57

    Also the powered Mini 2 cameras are $35 (2 for $50). So you could get a 5 camera system for $175 (if you can plug in 4 of the cameras).

  • aparasher on 15/11/2024 - 12:58

    Too expensive fornits performance and quality. There are plenty of better options like TP Link Tapo, Reolink and Ring available.

    • sun sunny on 15/11/2024 - 13:07

      any examples in this price range? maybe share links

  • skittle on 15/11/2024 - 13:00

    If the sync module can support up to 10 devices, why do you need one with each camera?

      I don't think you do. One sync for up to 10 cameras.

      will have to ask Sundar Pichai

  • DMFD on 15/11/2024 - 13:10

    Whats the point of getting a security camera if you have to pay extra because they cant figure out how to do local or network storage?

    Also works with iSpy so I guess thats a bonus. (https://www.ispyconnect.com/camera/blink)

  • Cheryhello on 15/11/2024 - 13:14

    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?

  • HappyACS on 15/11/2024 - 13:51

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

  • Boardcams on 15/11/2024 - 14:18

    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.

    Or am I missing something??
