Great Device With Smooth Performance — But Needs Better Light Timing & S
I recently installed this and so far it has been working like a charm. The setup was easy, and the overall performance has been reliable. My only real complaint is the light timer — I wish there were a way to delay the shutoff, because it currently turns off sooner than I’d like.I really love that it comes with a built-in camera, which adds a lot of convenience and peace of mind. However, my free first-year subscription was unexpectedly canceled, and I haven’t received proper support to resolve that yet.Overall, it’s a solid product with great potential, but I’m hoping the service issues get sorted out soon.

Spontaneously shuts off and camera goes offline.
Great light and camera when it stays on. Spontaneously will go offline, tried resetting it and adding it back to system but doesn’t work. Read online other people have had the same issue. Wish I would have read before purchasing two. Hopefully I’ll get a callback from Blink on how to fix it.UPDATE- so I reset my system and still had issues. Busted out the multimeter and discovered the GFCI receptacle that feed power was damaged. Replaced and reset my Blink system and BAM! no more problems. The camera is very clear and lights work excellent. I should have troubleshot my electrical before writing review. Blink did reach out to me and offered to replace the light for me, so I am extremely happy with Blink.

So much regret😓
Ok, I have used the Blink wired Floodlight Camera for over a year now so I feel I’ve been as thorough as possible before leaving a negative review. The sad truth is, this thing is awful. During my time with this device I have encountered many issues. 1) When you want it to record, it either cuts the recordings off way too quickly or doesn’t record at all (see video). Other times it will record the full 60 second clip for no reason at all. 2) It’s a crap shoot whether or not it will update new settings when making changes on the app. 3) The floodlights seem to have a mind of their own. If I set them to “dusk to dawn” it may only operate correctly 10% of the time. If I set them to “motion activated” most of the time they will not trigger even if someone is standing directly in front of them, waving their arms. 4) The “motion zones” that allow you to select areas that you don’t want the camera to detect motion is absolutely useless which doesn’t really matter cause, IF it decides to record, your clips are going to be so short they might as well be a picture. 4) It can take up to 60 seconds to bring up a live view IF it connects at all. Half the time I get an “operation failed” or “system busy” message. 5) Alexa connectivity for voice control works decently but the video option (a huge selling feature for me) might as well be nonexistent. It worked for about a month but now it just shows a continuous load screen on my Echo Show 5 and 10.I began buying Blink cameras a few years ago as an affordable way to help protect my family and now I have just about every device they make so it’s safe to say I am very familiar with the brand. Seriously, the only Blink device I dont currently own is the new Outdoor camera 4 but with all of the problems I’ve had with the floodlight (and other outdoor cameras) I just can’t justify continuing to spend money on devices that are buggy, ineffective, and mostly useless as anything other than a visual deterrent akin to a $5 prop camera. I am a disabled veteran with 3 kids, living on a fixed income so when I spend money on a product it needs to do the job it is designed to do. I have invested many hours of troubleshooting, either on my own or with assistance from Blinks online customer assistance, reddit forums, and/or Blink owner group forums all to no avail. I’ve spent even more money on Blinks monthly subscription service and purchasing top of the line internet service and wifi router(s) to ensure that my Blink system has full wireless signal on all devices and can access as much bandwidth as it could possibly ever need. I just cannot make this thing work as it says it should. I’ve tried. I really have. I really REALLY wanted to love my Blink system and initially, I did. My first cameras (Blink indoor minis) still work great after about 5 years of constant use. I use to show them off to everyone. Since then things have just gone down hill. I hoped by adding the Blink Doorbell and Outdoor Cameras (both of which have had issues of their own) that I was investing in the safety of my family. However, after buying the Wired Floodlight Camera it seems that I’ve just been throwing money away as I’ll have to replace everything if I want a complete system that works together on one app and actually does the things it says it should do. I’m not a difficult person to please. Heck, I’d be happy if this thing just loaded quickly when viewing live. When it works the picture is great, the lights are very bright, and the speaker/microphone are loud and clear. Unfortunately, as it stands now, I regret choosing Blink when deciding on a home security system and cannot recommend it to anyone. If by some miracle that changes, I’ll return and update my review. Until then, I guess I’ll have to work at saving some money so that I can start replacing my entire system.
