So one of the things that Blink does really well is make it easy to set-up everything. I mean it's an app, you follow along, and they're online and just working. The battery thing is convenient but in the house, there are plugs everywhere which is really convenient for something that likes to send you pictures and notices but also warns you when it's too active about batteries. I mean that's the real benefit right, constant power here for those of us who are not as handy with wiring battery ones to a power supply.
The minis struggle a bit more with night vision, and I think the reason why is there's just more stuff close up to an internal camera than what I have with my external ones. For instance, one has access or view of a window. Every night it "detects" motion or something and shift t night vision. There is nothing there. There is never anything there so I assume it's just the shifting of the light when the sun goes down. The other one has a hard time of getting a clear enough picture of the door with a chain, even though it's not that far. I think it's because that camera is trying to focus on the table instead of the entryway it's "guarding". I've tried to shift things a bit with only minor success.
Aside from those focusing issues, the only other problem is I just want to turn cameras on and off or schedule them. When they're in the house and people are here... no need to have it notifying all the time. Also the app is too slow. In theory you can get a motion detection and then just go live and speak to them... well if takes 20 seconds for the dang app to load the person has gotten board and left already. It sounds short, it's a long time to just stand there. I use an s10. I know it's not the most fancy phone now, but I don't really experience much issues with other apps.
I have yet to find the Blink talk to the person feature to be useful due to how long it takes to get the notification, load the app and finally have it ready to talk. People don't stand there that long. And with the rest of blink, if your internet goes down... it just doesn't work. It seems like we need something to accommodate for when the internet goes down but the intranet is still up.
