    We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

    Figured the comments were a bunch of fanboys/fangirls saying nice stuff but actually channel sucked. NOPE, entirely legit. This was one of the best channels ive come across in ages, crushed it good sir! Truly fantastic content, you should coach others on how to make these vids (not being sarcastic). Really well done, subbed

    Ny daughter installed these blink cameras outside her apartment. It took the "newcomers" downstairs about 5 minutes to hack them and ride her wifi for free. The minute she disabled them, she heard the little kid from downstairs yell at her mom "hey mom, the internet just went down". She had the strong passwords, latest updates etc, it did no good. These cameras are EXTREMLY vulnerable to hacking.
    I suppose if you have a very large property where your wifi signal is not accessible from the street or somebody would have to actually be on your property to acquire it, they may be OK, but they definitely need to make these cameras more secure.

    Do you recommend linking your Amazon and Blink accounts? It’s an option when setting up the Blink account.

      Hi Pocket Spill! Yes I would recommend linking the account, if you're going to subscribe to any of the Blink plans.
      Thanks for asking. I hope you have a wonderful day. 👍

    Hello I am new and a senior citizen lady not so savvy with tech world but have question. I have Xt2 blink cameras, and want to add another camera confused to why some blinks say subscriptions needed where mine only uses cloud. I do not like to pay subscriptions, so I ask you does Xt blink camera have subscription fee? Hard to find Xt2 good deal, but I see just Xt no number after letters. Will it work with my Xt2 with just cloud? I can just add it? ❓❓❓

    • @TeachMe101
      @TeachMe101  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question.
      Blink XT, XT2, and Legacy Indoor cameras are covered by their 120 minute per Sync Module of cloud storage. So they don't require a subscription to record. So you should be able to add another older XT or XT2 camera with no subscription. However all newer cameras will require a subscription to record.

    One of my tenants has been able to avoid me being able to see her comings and goings out of my driveway or into my doors at night. She is in and out late at night making me think that something nefarious is going on. Is there anything that I can do to stop her from being able to block my camera

    • @TeachMe101
      @TeachMe101  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi Gaye! Sure! The first thing that comes to mind is to install a second camera in a hidden location. Try installing it on a pole, tree, or in a bush that faces the entrance.
      Did that help?

      Hi Sharon! You can can try the following:
      Backup the USB on another device (like a computer). Reformat the USB drive. Then reinstalling it back into the sync module.

      Hi Sequoia! I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I know that must be frustrating. I would say first change your passwords: in the app, on the router, and your Amazon account too. If you have done all this, you may consider upgrading to a new router.

      Hi AppleGlo.
      I'm so sorry you're having this problem. Maybe I can help.
      1. Let's start by making sure your WiFi router is up to date. You may need a new model. Check out this video to learn more:
      th-cam.com/video/ZMA6tX6nZzE/w-d-xo.html
      2. Change the password on your WiFi router, Blink, and Amazon accounts. Make sure they are at least 10 - 16 characters long (just like I say in the video).
      3. Let's use a paper clip or small pin to restart your sync module.
      4. Then enter your new password into the sync module.
      5. Place your new passwords in a secret location.
      6. Connect the app and check to make sure everything works.
