I recently decided to replace my Google Nest Doorbell which I have been using for several years now.
As much as I wanted to love the the Nest, my experience with their products, or actually their Home App to control their products has been less than desirable.
Besides being fussy with reconnecting to WiFi when it goes down for more than a few minutes, Google has a bad habit of releasing app updates that cause their devices to either no longer connect to the network, or refuse to connect with their servers and thus require the devises to be uninstalled and reinstalled to the app.
Let's just say this is a long and arduous process that does not always work (like recently) and in many cases my Nest devices become unusable until Google decides to release a new app that corrects the problem (which can take weeks or longer).
So after reviewing a number of other devices, I settled on Blink because it offers an option for storage/live access that does not require a monthly subscription.
Installation, setup and use of the Blink doorbell so far has been easy and the only issue so far is the slight delay in receiving motion/doorbell ring notifications and the time it takes to pull up the live feed sometimes.
Love that the device uses long life disposals AA lithium batteries instead of a non-replaceable rechargeable battery. Once I replace my old doorbell chime & transformer, I will likely wire the doorbell to it so it uses the battery for backup power.
Next will be to add some of the Blink Outdoor Camera 4 to my system and seeing how these work over time.

Well worth the cost & perfect add on for existing Blink customers
If you are like me you are a happy existing Blink Camera user who is thinking about adding the door bell to your existing setup. I had a blink camera setup aiming at my front door so at first I was not too sure that I really needed the door bell. However for the cost I am very glad I got one. There are a couple of things to know:(1) If you are an existing Blink customer, you do not need a second sync module. All you need is the door bell and you can simple add it to your existing account (as easy as adding an additional camera).(2) If you are planning on hardwiring the blink doorbell to your existing doorbells wires. . . . you still have to use 2 AA batteries to power the camera. This did not make sense to me as I figured my hardwires would power it, but sure enough after calling Blink support I realized I needed to put the AA batteries in the camera. The hard wire will allow your blink doorbell to ring the doorbell in your home but will not power the camera.(3) You can turn on motion detection or just have the blink door bell turn on when the door bell is rung. This is a nice feature. If you want to catch anyone that comes to your door (whether they ring the bell or not, you can simple turn this feature on in the app). If you want to save battery life and are only interested in door bell ringers you can turn motion detection off.(4) It has two way audio, meaning you will always hear the person at your door. . . . but you can also choose to speak to the person if you choose. For me the audio the person at the door hears comes across a little staticky, but that could be my phone or the fact that I am using the corner mount.(5) It has more of a fish bowl view so it catches a wide view (meaning it can cover most of your front porch)(6) There is no additional cost to having the Blink doorbell or camera system. Unlike other door bell systems out there, there is no additional cost to the Blink Doorbell. The app is free, cloud storage is free, downloading images or videos is free, etc.If you are looking to set it up with just batteries and no wiring to an existing doorbell system, setup is a breeze (will take two minutes). If you are looking to hard wire it, it is still pretty easy. I am not a handy man and what I know about electricity will shock you (get my joke) but even I was able to hard wire it. Get the doorbell, you will be glad you did. Hope this review helped.
