I paid $75 for this

I paid $75 for this. It constantly goes off-line, regardless of what the alleged tech-support people tell you on the phone to relocate the syncing device here or they’re closer to the router closer to the doorbell. It never stays online. I just lost $75 of my hard earned money for nothing.

Beware

Beware. The guys that sold me my blink security cameras told me if I had any questions issues, I could call them. Well, the cameras needed to be adjusted. I called them. They said too bad. Call Blink. I called blink. They said we don't do that. Maybe you shoul call Geek Squad. All they will do is take your money. Now 3 of the 5 have become worthless. Fuzzy blurry clips. No longer record clips at night. They need to go out of business

Today Blink is requiring an IOS upgrade…

Today Blink is requiring an IOS upgrade to version 16 or greater. I have an older iPhone that works just fine (iPhone 7plus). At this point I cannot upgrade to version 16 on my 7plus. Therefore, my 10 Blink cameras are useless to me! Called Blink and they are of no use! No work around, No offer to use my cameras without the update! Of course they won't buy back the cameras now that I can't use them! Of course they will not buy me a newer iPhone so that I can use them! Totally useless! So much for customer service! Never again!

DONT EVEN BOTHER UPDATING THE APP IF YOU NEED YOUR CAMERA SAVED

HOW IS IT THAT YOU CAN CREATE AN ACCOUNT FOR YOUR CAMERA AND SAVE DIFFERENT DEVICES BUT THEY DO NOT SAVE WHEN YOU HAVE TO UPDATE THE APP?? SO INCONVENIENT! WHAT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND IM NOT ABLE TO GET FOOTAGE. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED IF YALL ARE UPDATING THE APP FOR INCOMPETENT REASONS NO ONE EVER ASKS FOR. LOOK AT YOUR REVIEWS! IMPROVE!!

BLINK FALSE INFORMATION Received email on September 29

Received email on September 23, 2025 about Blinks subscription changes that would go in affect October 8, 2025. To keep your old subscription you had to update the app by September 29, 2025. I did in fact update the app. I've had services for 3 yrs at the rate of $100 Renewal yearly renewal subscription Plus plan. They also had 2 yr subscription fir $200 and 3 year for $300. I chose to stay with current plan. Today, October 11, 2025. I get charged $119 ( taxes-$127.19). I called the customer service number and questioned the price because I confirmed my updated app beside September 29th and the agent told me that you had to subscribe to either the $200 or the $300 plan and since I did not my plan is now $119. No where in the email says this which is very misleading. The agent says, we are sorry but we have been getting a lot of calls saying that the email is misleading. Wth? They offered no type of refund reconciliation due to their misleading email information and the consumer have to suck it up. Please be aware of their false advertisements.

I purchased a blink basic supscription…

I purchased a blink basic supscription plan for my blink camera I linked the blink and amazon account successfully. Since I have had numerous automatic emails from blink asking me to attach my blink and amazon accounts reminders to link accounts since the trial is running out. Then I get an email to say my basic supscription plan has been cancelled. I never cancelled it. Amazon say they think its a technical error at there end and have left me with getting a refund even though I want the basic blink plan. I need to wait for a refund then do it all over again. Blink customer service never responded to both emails I sent. I do not think blink customer service is very good or do they reply to any negative reviews here which is not a very good sign. So neither amazon or blink have been very helpful.

Unreliable garbage

Doorbell eats batteries like fury and only uses expensive lithium AA type. Regularly stops working, sending notifications of activity but nothing is recorded. No way to reset it remotely, batteries have to be removed every time. I can't believe I wasted my money on this garbage and paid a yearly subscription for it too. Will definitely be cancelling and dropping it in the bin. Don't buy this rubbish.

BLINK IS LESS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPLY MADE

The blink camera went through $24 worth of Duracell batteries and $20 worth of lithium batteries batteries in six months. I have had multiple shutdowns had to reset the doorbell camera hundreds of times because it would just go right through the batteries. This last time I tried to put on the third set of lithium batteries it didn’t even work. The Customer Service well they’re told what to do and it’s horrible. I would not give this camera a one star rating if I could it would be a half a star. Too many issues with motion detection, too many issues with video quality too many issues with going through batteries unless it’s direct wired and even when it is direct wired it’s the front doorbell still goes through batteries! You get what you pay for, and unfortunately I would never purchase blink products again!

New app update informs customer they’ll no longer have access to their cameras unless they purchase newer devices to access from!!

Just when you think this company and its services couldn’t get any worse, today (17/09/25) they send an email stating:
‘Blink is making several changes that may impact your ability to access the Blink Home Monitor app’

—It appears from 29/09/25 (12days time!!) you may indeed have the blink cameras that you have purchased, but they’re simply just going to collect dust because you WONT be able to access or use them! Certainly not for their intended purpose.

Blink proceed to suggest you purchasing newer alternative devices to collaborate with their new app changes. —reasonable with the current cost of living and tax increases *sarcasm*

The email then continues:
‘While we recognize the inconvenience this may cause, please understand that this decision was made with the best interest of our millions of customers in mind.’

—THIS IS A CLEAR BREACH OF CONSUMER RIGHTS AND EQUALITY RIGHTS.. AND IS CERTAINLY MORALLY QUESTIONABLE.

Blink continue to take advantage of customers as the area they exist still remains unregulated -hence the poor customer care, sub standard products and zero escalation process for complaints.

A V O I D this camera company!

Absolute JUNK!

Blink products and services are ABSOLUTE JUNK! I have 3 cameras and 2 sync modules, I also pay for the premium subscription (which will be increasing in the very near future). NEVER, NEVER, NEVER has their been a time where every component of my system has functioned properly all at the same time. I have never been so disappointed in a product like I have with blink security cameras. The only reason I have them in the first place is because they were a gift. I highly suggest you look at alternatives!!!

Blink unable to reset

We have recently moved into our property and there is a Blink doorbell fitted.
After downloading their app and attempting to connect, proved a task too far.
We contacted Blink customer Service and was told to contact the previous owner, to disconnect the service from their phone, but of course we don’t have details.
Blink are not able to re-set the doorbell, so we have a totally useless entry system!

Product sucks and so does customer service

If I could give this product no stars I would. I would also give the customer service zero stars as well. My doorbell camera just stopped working. I reached out to customer service and they had me send pictures and videos and after all of that they tell me it’s out of warranty and there is nothing they can do about it. The system is a little over one year old and it just stops working. Absolute trash! I’m canceling and going with another service.

This product is literally a piece of money sucking garbage. Don’t buy it with the belief it’s more cost effective because even if it may seem so upfront, it isn’t. I have to replace the AA batteries in it every 2 weeks, the live view sucks and usually doesn’t work, you have to pay a monthly subscription to save clips, and it doesn’t have any features that are innovative or even noteworthy, possibly none at all.

I bought four cameras

I bought four cameras. I can't subscribe for three cameras. I did one camera but it doesn't seem to have any technical support functions. Non-existent. Answer me. I'm wondering how it's possible. #blink
