Pros & Cons
Pros
It is quite literally as simple as plugging in the sync module, downloading the blink app and connecting the module to wifi. They are very easy to use and the app is very user friendly.
The picture is amazingly clear however! The video playback is great. They use aa batteries that last up to 2 years.
The cameras help us to feel safer and more secure. And gives you peace of mind using an amazon branded camera.
Cons
They just aren't reliable, even with full daylight and fresh batteries. Cameras are unreliable, 2 occasions where images were needed, and the camera didn't work. The battery life is mediocre if you have them working to their potential.
The lag in these is absolutely atrocious, and when live viewing they give a time limit of less than 60 seconds. Lag time for live feeds, even after reset and deleted/reinstalled multiple times. The app is atrocious.
The trigger time for recording is too slow. Sometimes the camera will record because of being tripped by something much further away than the motion detection is supposed to sense. Even at the most sensitive settings, the cameras only start recording ... Read More
Every 2 weeks it disconnects from the wifi router. Can't display image, can't display video, sync module offline.

This is the problem with wireless cameras the batteries cannot take the cold and the cold weather causes the batteries to drain faster

We see very little of the sun during the winter months im talking at least 5 out of every 7 days sometimes more where it is gloomy overcast and dismal between december and the end of march or april

Then theres the issue of snow accumulation if the solar panel is on the roof where the best sun exposure is and once again around here its not unusual to have a few inches of snow or ice or both accumulated in this area

So if you live in a climate like i just described you will want the wired cameras not these battery operated ones unless you relish working in the snowy cold weather getting the batteries charged up
