    I have 3 Battery operated cameras, they have never failed me, However I have bought 2 of the Hardwired cameras in feb. , now 5 months later a both cameras are no longer working, and yes Ive gone down the check list they offer, unplug the cameras for a short period and re plug them in and they will record for a short time, then dead..... Here in Texas we never had spring... straight to summer, very hot summer... Could heat be the problem? Im looking for another system to install now... can't keep wasting time on them, BTW the lights are fantastic

    There is NO ip rating, it is not waterproof, its "weather resistant" which is the lowest rating for resistance. Do not install it under an eave, the lights will fill with water, they do not drain, the camera ceases to work. Mine lasted less than 3 weeks. Any water intrusion voids the warranty.

    I really like it, and I like that the Blink software is much easier to use than Ring. You can add up to 10 cameras to module 2 modules, and they are super easy to add, I love that Blink systems integrate easily with each other. I do security setup for people's homes for a living, and while you said Blink was left behind, I disagree, Blink setup and software are made so anyone can install it, even the elderly or a novice to the tech world. It is not complicated and anyone can do it. It is simple to use, people often think because it is so easy to use that it's not as good as other systems. Generally, consumers want their cameras set with motion at 20 feet, they want an easy system to use, and 100 dollars a year for security is pretty inexpensive. An average of $8.34 per month is very affordable for most people.

The light barely ever turn on by itself at night, and it barely catches moving things. It doesn't capture a car parking in the driveway, or a delivery guy passing by ±10 feet from the camera.
