Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the vdo devices. Some mention that it's a truly wireless security camera that connects via WiFi to the local "hub" which can be, and greatly improve connectivity issues.

Good system, but...

Good system, but...
It's a good wireless camera system in general. Not the best cameras out there but I say pretty good for being completely wireless at the price your paying. I got the 2 pack and here is my take on these. Setting up is so quick and easy my 12 yr old son can do it. The first thing I noticed that let me down when setting up is the fact that these only connect to 2.4G wifi (later found out from Blink that 2.4g offers longer range connection than 5g). I have on average 180 Mbps download and 13 Mbps upload internet speeds in home with 5G connection. The video quality is good, at 720p, it's not the best but it's clear enough. The video live streaming is ok. Not great. The video feed and audio FREQUENTLY freezes even with the camera placed a couple feet from the sync module, both with full signal strength. I may be wrong but I can imagine the feed being way smoother if it was able to connect to faster wifi speeds with 5G. When watching live video feed, you only get 20 seconds of continuous viewing unless you keep pressing the "continue?" button that pops up every 15 seconds. This is understandable to save battery life but also annoying. The audio works fairly well (one way only). The night/dark room viewing works pretty good, it will give clear and bright enough picture to see two entire rooms (living + kitchen in tandem setup) in practically complete darkness. However, the "night vision" mode uses a VERY bright LED like a flashlight (located right below the camera lense) when the camera is on (live or motion recording). It's intention was probably also used as an intruder deterent. Motion sensor does NOT work through windows (mine are dual pane glass). There is roughly around a 5 second delay in live video syncing when it's running smoothly. So if you wave your hand in camera it shows up on screen around 5 seconds later, if the feed isn't freezing. When opening the app and selecting live feed, it takes around 6 seconds for the live streaming to kick in. As soon as the camera starts recording from motion or viewing live, a bright blue LED turns on (right of the motion sensor). If you happen to loose power or unplug to move the sync module, it will reconnect to the wifi in around a minute or two. The temperature reading is a pretty cool feature and would be even cooler if these worked with our Nest thermostat to double as room temp sensors and tracking like the Ecobee.There are a few features I wish this did have. Better live streaming and able to connect to 5G wifi. Option to adjust how long live video feed can be viewed before stopping. Two way talk. 1080p video. Able to zoom in/out. Connect with Nest or other smart tstats. Able to turn off blue LED. Motion detection to work through windows. Privacy setting for when your home. Maybe add less visible night vision LEDs and be able to choose to use the brighter night LED for an intruder deterent if preferred.All in all, it's a good system for the price. If I had to choose one thing or the first thing for Blink to improve on, is for smoother live viewing and be able to watch continuos if we choose without having to press continue every 15 seconds.UPDATE: I just bought the Canary Flex and am testing it to see which I prefer more. Obviously the Canary is more expensive. You get one cam instead of two for the price. I'm not going to get into the Canary much in this review but wanted to point out my 2.4g vs 5g wifi connection findings. I took both cameras outside on my porch no more than two feet outside my porch window on a ledge and the Canary lost connection/went offline (connected to 5g) while the Blink was working completely fine (connected to 2.4g). As for picture, the blink camera has a slightly less viewing angle and seems more "zoomed" in than the Canary. Not a bad thing unless you need the most viewing coverage you can get. I found the Blink (6 seconds) to connect way faster to live viewing than the Canary (15 seconds). Huge difference if your impatient. The Blink also re-connects to the wifi way faster if the cams go offline. Blinks app very simple and less "fancy" than Canary's app but then again Canary offers more than Blink and costs more.I’ve currently been using the Yi 1080p camera (although needs to be plugged into power) I would highly recommend looking into it. $60 and it has better quality video, motion detection WORKS through windows and a great app with lots of features and it’s free using a micro SD card.**pictures attached are comparisons (Blink is not labeled on screen, Canary and Yi is labeled) and the Blink in night/dark room mode.
