I have noticed that there is longer lag between motion detection and notification with the cameras vs the doorbell, but it is not bad and they are capturing the activity that triggers the recording well. The images are clear. I have posted a couple of night pictures. The one of the doorstep in not in night mode, probably because the porch light puts out enough light to not trigger the night vision. The other two are full on night vision. The one of the patio is remarkable as it is very dark out there.
I have tried various "wireless" cameras over the years and most worked ok, but the remote access always seemed to be hit and miss and the apps were clunky to use. I find the Blink app to be pretty simple to use and so far have had no issues with losing signal etc.. If I were going to give a "wish list" to Blink for features, I guess I would like to be able to use more than one sync module on my system and have them bound to the same account. It would be nice to be able to pull up a multi camera live view. Maybe that's something they can work on for future updates. It would also be nice to have a computer interface windows/mac to view the cameras.
Full disclosure, I have subscribed to the Blink subscription plus service as I have 4 cameras (counting the doorbell) and plan on adding at least an additional 3 outdoor cameras. At $100/yr it's a bargain for up to 10 cameras. The remote access has been excellent. I understand that without a subscription plan the cameras are very limited in function.
Having tried many things over the years, I can honestly say that I am happiest with the Blink system and will be adding to my system in the near future.

The following Summer we were so happy with our indoor system, we decided to purchase 2 outdoor cameras with the 2 way audio, and were so happy with the video and audio quality, we bought another add on outdoor camera, the next month.
A year later we found the mini indoor cameras. We have one for a child's bedroom and one for the playroom. The video and audio quality is great.
A year after that we bought another 3 outdoor Cameras, again video and audio quality is great.
Just before Christmas 2021 Blink came out with the doorbell camera, and we purchased it. One, because it was blink and 1/2 the price of a ring doorbell camera. Two, because the doorbell that came with our new build home was so quiet, we couldn't ever hear the bell ring.
In total we now have...
3 Indoor battery powered
2 Indoor mini corded power
6 Outdoor battery powered
1 doorbell wired to exciting doorbell.

Blink offers two subscription plans.
1 Blink device
$3 per month or $30 annually
Unlimited Blink devices
$10 per month or $100 annually
You do not have to have a Blink Subscription if you do not choose to, but you won't be able to store videos.
With the subscription you are even able to share your videos by text, or email. To neighbors, Friends, Family, and even the police department.
Cons/irritations
When an outdoor camera faces the sun at any point of the day, the motion detection will go off, until you adjust the motion activity spots in the camera settings. This can take a few days to work out the kinks.
Indoor mini cameras the motion activity spots don't always work. Sometimes it will go off when there is motion in the grayed out zones, and sometimes not go off in the non-greyed out zones. This maybe human error on our part. We are looking for a longer cord for the mini's to mount on the wall or ceiling. The are options to rotate the camera view, so that you are able to mount the camera wherever you need.
Overall we are happy with our Blink system and hope the company continues to grow and come out with new products.
Compared to my parents very very expensive Arlo system, Blink is more reliable, and is more cost-effective. So much so, my parents have ditched the Arlo camera system and have purchased a new Blink system.
We highly recommend Blink to anyone who would like to have a home video camera system that works, and won't break the bank.
We love that you can start out small and work your way in to as much as you want/need.
Installation: I have to say, installation was very easy. The supplied mounts were a little limiting but they do work. We ended up buying the Blink Outdoor Camera Mounts (link below) and those worked pretty well. My only complaint in both cases are the screws were a little on the cheap side. For that 4 STARS
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD1ZDDDL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Motion detection: The motion detection is somewhat limited in range but still somewhat effective. We seem get a lot of "detection" when there in nothing to see. The fact the the mailman triggered the camera when he was walking away from the camera is somewhat disheartening. The fun part is seeing the racoons and possums in the middle of the night. In fact, last night, we caught a spider building it's web around one of the cameras. That was very cool! For that, 3.5 STARS.
Picture: The video recordings are very clear. Even from a distance, you can see a good amount of detail. For that, 5 STARS
While I was writing this review, I received a notification from the back door camera and it was a Humming Bird up close.
Night Vision: The night vision is ok. You can see what's out there but the clarity isn't great. For this, 3 STARS
Value: I have to say that for the money, these camera are good. I looked at other comparable camera systems and for the price, these will serve the purpose. I just feel that they are a little deficient in some areas but over all, a decent buy. In essence, you get what you pay for. For that, 3 STARS
Plain and simple, spend more... get more.
