It is possible to set schedule to activate the motion detection of the Blink camera, for instance, trigger only during the day when no one is at home. There is no infra-red light for recording in the dark, and instead, Blink throws a bright white LED light (like smartphones) to illuminate the recording area, which will startle the subject being recorded. When it detects motion and starts recording, a blue LED will light up. This is definitely not a key feature for Blink, since regular streaming will drain the battery.īlink is not intend to operate in stealth. Recording resolution is limited to HD (720p).īlink also supports live streaming, but connecting to the camera is slow and the feed is delayed by about 5 seconds. To prevent continuously repetitive triggers, it is possible to set an interval, e.g. The recording duration can be defined, or can be auto-stopped if no motion is detected. It only triggers a recording when motion is detected using passive infra-red sensors (it does not work through glass) and alerts you within seconds on your smartphone. Those normal IP cameras are supposed to be running 24/7, recording and saving video footages, allowing remote monitoring of live video feeds.īlink works in a more primitive, but still effective way.
How can Blink cameras run on batteries for 2 years and yet no other security cameras can achieve? First of all, Blink is not a full-fledged surveillance camera. Other than the packaging, all the hardware and software are identical to the global Blink products.Įven though this Blink product is more than a year old, it remains relevant and one-of-a-kind solution. Aztech has been the equipment manufacturer of the Blink product line, and from December 2016, Aztech co-branded to distribute the product in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Its security camera solution is completely no-wires, because it runs on 2 AA lithium batteries that can last up to 2 years before replacing.īlink is a successful kickstarter project back in 2014 and has been on sale globally for over a year. Despite the advent of Wi-Fi, security cameras still require wires to power up the devices.īlink has solved this problem. For years, I have wished for an easier way to install home security camera.
