Edit: The second one connected well and DID show an image both in good light and bad. BUT the image was vastly inferior to the old cameras. This one started out well but after a few days only showed black and white in the daytime and a very fuzzy image at night so I sent it back. The process for sending these back is time consuming. They make you watch a video first. Which I did although I have set these cameras up for years and didn't need to. Then they would not let me exchange this camera for another one. Which is fine. I really didn't want to try again anyway.
They have almost certainly gone down in quality and after two tries I doubt I can get one that works as well as the old ones did. I will continue to use the old cameras until they wear out though. They are pretty good and since I got them so long ago the cloud service is free.
EDIT
It occurred to me that maybe the new camera wasn't working as well as the old ones did was because I was trying to use it with the old generation 2 module. I decided to try one more time and this time I got a generation 3 module to pair it with. DUH. Problem solved! The cameras work great now and they are still grandfathered in. Thanks Blink!
*The camera is small light weight, sleek looking, and not conspicuous (w/o mount). The construct of the mount provided in the box is okay (anyone walk by can snatch the camera off from the mount), but for those who don't like drilling holes on the wall: this camera can easily be velcro strapped on other place (i.e. cabinet door handle, railing, eaves) given this camera is light weight; the square shape also makes it easy to be mounted "creatively". Just make sure to mount it high enough to avoid people from stealing it.
*Image/audio quality: okay, good enough to capture good video with recognizable sound.
*Motion sensor: Robust, not too sensitive but good enough when someone walk by the camera under the default setting "5". We have other camera system before and they were way too sensitive that even moving grasses or clouds would trigger the camera. Note that the motion sensor sensitivity diminishes dramatically if placed behind a window.
*Night vision: it is rated 4/10 for night vision. When there is absolutely NO light, the video are quite blurry, just like the security camera footage back in the 80s/90s with higher resolution. The motion sensor is sensitive under night vision, but the image capture is not as well as other major camera security brands.
*IR: It is also "okay" and not robust. without the night vision turned on, the IR wouldn't work. The video would be an empty black screen.
Wifi: Excellent, we rarely (or never) have camera go offline unless there's internet issues. The reception is exeptionally well even it is placed far away from the hub.
*battery life: ROBUST! We probably only have to change the battery every year or so. The app would notify user when battery is low.
When comparing head to head with other brands (i.e. NightOwl, which is far more sensitive and generate super high quality video, clear audio and excellent low-light performance/videos): ALTHOUGH Blink is consider a mediocre product, it is more consumer and user friendly (self-installation, WAY MORE affordable). The motion sensor sensitivity, video and audio quality are all at par for a basic security camera. At the end of the day, the footage is not meant to make a movie at a theater, hence the specification on the Blink is sufficient enough for personal uses.
I almost gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because they still have not improved the short video clip time and the delay before notifications arrive, even with early notification turned on I have to wait for the video. My family members who bought the cameras recently must pay a subscription to get all the features. It can still work without paying but I don't know what they get for no subscription. I am grandfathered in because their big selling point back when I bought it was no subscriptions fees. That is why I went with Blink instead of the others.
I still recommend Blink because, "you get what you pay for", Blink is still the most affordable option with acceptable video quality and options.
