Review on Upgraded 5-Pack Camera Mount for Blink XT2/Outdoor: Rust-Proof, Weather-Proof, 360° Adjustable Bracket for Home Security Camera System by Anthony Grover

This system has the potential to literally save lives. A camera was turned off due to battery issues, but I haven't turned it off yet to troubleshoot. I assume it works if the batteries are removed for a few minutes. Most electronics come with cheap batteries from other manufacturers. This came with genuine Energizer batteries for each camera, which in itself would not be a cheap purchase as cameras require so many of these. The cameras are a bit noisy, the shutter clicks in and out. Motion detection is difficult to explain. Most of the time it works too well, catching the slightest movement of a curtain or leaves in the bushes outside. However, it doesn't read very well through glass, most likely due to IR reflection and refraction, so it doesn't pick up cars entering or exiting a parking lot or people getting in or out of cars, but it does pick up trees move far away in the wind and move through a tiny gap in the buildings. For me the most important aspects are that I can enable live streaming from my phone, it has amazing night vision, I can take photos to test each camera and I can adjust the sensitivity of each one so I don't must turn everything off when we get home. It contains over 800 short videos and that's a lot! This requires a lot of viewing and deleting clips you don't need, but you can filter each camera and do it individually, which speeds things up. Microphones are awesome! It's tempting to startle anyone who comes to the door, and the playback sound is very clear. We have recommended this system to many people because it convinced us. Certainly worth the price! Having no subscription fee for the service is even better.
