Motion Sensor Floodlights you NEED | Blink Outdoor Floodlight Review

I really couldn’t pass up the deal at Costco for three outdoor, one indoor, one flood, and a doorbell for ~$200. Piece of mind at a great price. There are MUCH better systems out there. But this is a good start for me and my family.

My first camera system was Blink. It's an okay easy to use/install basic system. But there are better options. I decided I wanted more reliable cams. I went from Blink's 1080 resolution and short video recording (that sometimes miss events) to 4k POE cams, 24/7 recording, AI person/vehicle/pet detection, cams with siren and spotlight, no subscription fees.. Yes it was more expensive and a pain to run the ethernet cables in the attic but well worth it for family security. Battery cams are better than no cams at all though.

As a semi New blink owner. After the doorbell, I was impressed… whether your new or still browsing for that “good home security” blink blows the competition away. How so? I had ring and arlo, and arlo I still use, but for an all in one app to go with my Alexa’s, blink all the way

I'm a Blink user, I like the free storage and they seem to fit my needs, purchase the floodlight kit for $89, hard to beat that deal, I purchase 4, thinking about 4 more to cover the dark area's

Hi Steve. Thanks for the video as it is very helpful in explaining parts and overall connections. I was setting up my new blink outdoor camera and got stuck as the Blink app was not recognizing the flood lights. I googled and came across your video. Your video was helpful in setting up. However I was still stuck with my blink app not recognizing the flood lights issue. Finally I was able to solve this by - 1)deleting the camera from blink app 2) Leaving the back cover of camera open (as you need the barcode to register) 3)Connecting the flood lights to camera (with its back cover open) 4) adding the camera into the blink app. It recognized the camera and flood lights. After that it was just a matter of disconnecting camera and connecting back again -by closing the back cover. Not sure whether I am the only one who had this issue. Wanted to share. Thanks again.

I bought the flood lights and they have been up for about a month and not working. Changed batteries was still confused. Camera does work fine.

Saw your review and it stated the XT2 doesnt work with them....AH HA!!
Was about to wrap my Father's Day gift, which is the new camera version. My dad already has flood lights on his house....I will be swapping out the cameras so they both work.

Thanks for helping to figure out the issue.

I have the Blink cameras and I’m not a big fan. A family member bought the Eufy kit from Amazon, it’s slightly more expensive but seems like it’s much better. My Blink cameras don’t pick up motion all that well.

Thank You, I just bought one so your video review was very helpful

[aftech]

Would be nice if it connected straight to power and have battery inly as a backup

[Audiofreak]

I don’t see a link for the Blink system you reviewed can you or someone provide one? Thanks.

Thank you, very helpful. I lie the blink because Amazon supports it. It's pretty good for the cost.

You have to climb a ladder to change the batteries?

[Chefboyarcurry]

How long has the d batteries last? 2 years I find hard to believe lol

[dmm]

Does the light only turn on when the system is armed?

[DarrenBike]

Even if I don’t have the camera, can I still turn the outdoor floodlights on with my Alexa app on my phone?

[DeliaNErik]

I’m gonna have to purchase this product

[carolg]

Thank you for showing me how to activate the camera. I couldn’t find it anywhere and it didn’t come with directions

[BRP]

How long is your battery last long, I actually bought 1 wired and wireless, kinda confused wired or wireless which should I put on front garage and on back deck, for the wired one i am not quite ready to drill on top of garage for outside I don’t know how easier would it be

[nickjunes]

I just found out there is no way to activate the floodlight without arming the system. This means you can't use it like a normal floodlight when the system is not on. This is a disaster as I have already purchased 2 and mounted 1. I contacted customer support and apparently there is no way. So what are people supposed to do? Mount a normal motion floodlight next to the blink floodlight for when they just want light? This doesn't make any sense. This is so frustrating. How can this software be missing such a crucial feature?

Energizer 123 lithium batteries? Think it's a good idea?
