For example, as I write this we’ve used 55% of our allotted storage limit and that’s easily with hundreds of clips stored over the past month: Thus far we’ve never hit that limit yet when set to store clips for 30 days (you can chose up to 1 year or fewer than 30 days, if you like). They’ll store the video clips from all cameras up to a certain amount of data used. They also offer free Cloud storage of your video clips too. ![]() Clearly, it wasn’t going to last two full years at that rate. I’d say this is generally true, however, I did recently have to replace the front door camera batteries after only several months, but I expected this because I leave that camera running 24/7 and it records dozens of five-second clips each day. Perhaps I could have covered a few other angles of the house more thoroughly if I wanted to purchase more cameras (each single camera can be had for under $100 each and even less if you watch for sales) but, ultimately, these five cameras covered the important areas I was concerned about.īeyond that, the cameras are waterproof so they can be used outside (there are Blink systems for use indoors instead which are not waterproof), are motion-activated, have night vision, and run on two Lithium batteries which, according to the manufacturer, can run for two years with average use. ![]() So, for a bit more than $400 I was able to get everything I needed to completely cover the entire front of the house, including the driveway, front door, backyard, side yard, and the detached garage. That said, I had to buy a second Blink sync module (more on that later) as well as two sync outlet mounts for $8 each which I didn’t actually have to purchase, they just ensured the sync module was a bit more secure when installed in an outlet: The five camera system I purchased was around $349. Ultimately, I settled on this Blink XT camera system several months ago and I can say that I’m quite happy with them, here’s why…įor starters, they don’t cost much at all. That’s what I thought until I decided to really look into wireless cameras. ![]() I’ve been wanting to buy security cameras for years, but I always put it off because I figured the good ones cost too much, I probably had to run wires somehow, and we rent so I didn’t want to install anything permanent.
