20:04 Verdict & Review
We just bought and installed two of these. So far all our blinks have been a workhorse. Winters in ND are not kind to stuff outside and all of our outdoor blinks always work.
I just installed yesterday and so far I like it. The lights are very bright and the sensor picks up everything. This replaces a battery Blink I had in the front that is always eating batteries.
I had to install a junction box on brick above the garage and run the wiring from the garage door opener.
The drilling through the brick and fishing the wire were a chore as my masonry bits weren’t long enough but I got her done.
I still need to seal it up.
I just ordered mine! I also have blink cameras to leave in my air bnb/hotel when I’m not there! They’re great!
Yes! Always make sure you are secure!
I'm supporting my folks with an installation of the wired units and your detailed review / description is very helpful! One thing which I didn't see discussed was the silicone sealant application specified in the instructions. If you permanently installed the wired unit at the location shown in the video, how did you seal the unit against the electrical box?
Hi! Thanks for watching. Instead of using the silicone sealant I used duct sealing tape. (not to be confused with duct tape). The sealant would make the unit more waterproof but after yellow jackets ate through the sealant and built a massive hive inside my siding last year, I went with the heavy duty aluminum tape.
Yeah I got a question my flood light only gets motion from right side I don't no if I have it right 🤔
Maybe some buytl roll would be good to put around back for seal to house.
can iuse the usb ad the subribitio atthe same time if i havethe brain box on a batery backup box of the power goesout
Can the floodlight be run at night at a dimmed brightness and then when it detects motion it can switch to a brighter setting?
So if this is replacing a light that I turn on with a switch, will it still turn on when I flip the switch or only when there is motion outside? Thanks
hello. i can buy the Blink Wired Floodlight version with No camera incluided and add 1 blink outdoor camera ? i dont like the wire-free version .
I dont have an existing floodlight so would i be able to install it where my porch light is currently. (I hope i explained it right)
Hi! You need wired power to power the light. Without power and an electrical box, you will not be be install the Floodlight. In this case, a battery powered Floodlight would be better. But you have to recharge the battery more frequently (sometimes every month if you have a high sensitivity level)
Does this unit take a micro SD card to store videos, if no, how does it store them without paying for a Blink plan?
I use a memory stick, low profile Samsung 256gb. Uses a standard usb size, so memory stick is what you want
When my house electric power is out, will my WiFi also be stopped? And wireless cameras are disconnected?
hi, Yes if power goes out, the blink will shut off. No feed. 1 benefit of a battery powered cam but you would still need backup power for the router/cable modem.
Why would running more than 4 cameras on two different modules be beneficial? Would it make the wireless cams faster? Thanks
Hi! Having 2 modules is good if you do not want all your footage in one module and I have found you do not want to overload the module if possible because it's still processing all the data over 2.4g.
@@TheFrenchGlow ah ok. Makes sense. Thanks for this info. Appreciate it. I’ll get another one. I’ve been getting the wireless cameras going offline. I wonder if having a second module close to the cameras will help this
It didn't come with the correct screws, which sucks to discover at the top of a ladder.
They would screw in far enough to hold the bracket tight.
Will the light turn on automatically when it detects movement or people?
hi yes it will. you can customize how long the lights stay on.
@@TheFrenchGlow thank you so much! 😊
Looks like rain will get inside your electrical box on the sides
Hi! I protected mine using aluminum duct tape but you can waterseal your unit depending on how flush you can get your Floodlight with your house siding/brick/etc.
