Having a doorbell that notifies and records people coming to our front door helps us feel safer.The doorbell wasn’t easy to install and the instructions were a bit vague but once done it has performed great!The indoor camera installed in seconds and has been a great tool to monitor our pets when we are not home. Highly recommend the indoor camera.

Does the trick.
Cheap good quality surveillance .

The delay for camera view is too long
It has a good picture day & night, was easy to install and connect to the chimes in the house. My major complaint is that it has a very bad lag. On my Alexa Exho 5 I have it setup to automatically bring up the doorbell on the screen. The wait for it to even come up can be as long as 30 seconds, but is usually around 15. I don’t know how much is due to the video having to be brought up, but I suspect audio alone would still take several seconds to come up. This is due to the Texas 2-step (or maybe 3?) that it has to go through before even the Blink app will bring it up. First, after the doorbell is pressed the system takes almost a second to realize it has something to do. Then it has to start up loading the video which it sends to their little connection box, the Sync Module. It then uploads the data (video & audio) to the Blink system over the internet, which the sends it back over our internet connection. At this point I’m not sure, but it either sends it back to the Sync Module for access by whomever is interested or it is available directly from our wifi by the Blink app or Alexa. I suspect it wiggles back through the very slow Sync Module. Put it this way: anyone ringing our doorbell will likely have decided no one is home by the time the system is accessible. The audio does pull through a little faster so I might be able to ask them to wait a bit for my system to come fully online. And then you had better be far enough from the door that you don’t hear the person at the door through the door. Because there is about a 5 second delay between when they speak and you hear it through your app. It may be as ‘little’ as 3 seconds, but I’m fairly certain 5 is closer to accurate. Imagine, someone has eung your doorbell, stuck around until you can get connected, then you decide that you should oprn the door to see what’s up, you open the door and the blasted doorbell is just now saying what you said 5 seconds ago! How embarrassing! I have never had a doorbell like this before so I don’t know how it compares, but wow! This is not right! I may have done something wrong in setup? I have gone back over it at least 20 times. I did shave a couple of seconds off Alexa pulling it up by having her automatically start the process rather than go through the 3 or 4 second process for her to take action. And granted, my internet speeds aren’t the greatest, but it is adequate enough to stream live TV with little to no problem with lag so it should be more than adequate for this. Just accessing video taken by the doorbell’s camera takes a couple of seconds. I don’t see what the point is of having a thumb drive hooked to the Sync Module. You can’t access anything stored on it unless you pop it out and read it on a computer! Is this another choke point for getting the doorbell to get going? I haven’t tried that yet. I had to wait a few days to get my temper under control so that I don’t take a hammer to the whole thing…
