Customers are mixed about the performance of the vdo devices. Some mention that the solar itself works good, the camera works great, and the solar charger seems to be working fine.

Customers are mixed about the ease of installation. Some mention that it's easy to install and the solar panel can be mounted away from the camera, providing a hassle-free solution for home security. However, others say that there are lack of instructions to setup the outdoor camera to enabled connection to an existing network, some steps are totally missing or don't make any sense on the guide that comes with it, and the process is not straight forward. The process is also not straightforward and the technical support is borderline useless.

273 customers mention19 positive254 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the charging of the vdo device. For example, they mention that the battery is dead, the life is gone, and it doesn't charge.

"...The solar panel never actually charged the rechargeable battery and the camera add-on we had disconnected from the sync constantly until it finally..." Read more

"...I have 2 others that never seem to charge even though they get direct sunlight for a good portion of the day...." Read more

5 Stars
Blinks 2nd best camera…a close 2nd…good stuff… ;):)
2nd best camera that Blink makes…a very close 2nd just behind the hardwire-floodlight cameras, which, in my opinion, are Blinks best overall product cause you got the lights and the only true hardwire camera they make…At some point I would like all of them hey combination of solar power and hardwire and have absolutely zero need for batteries!!!!!!!Overall, I think Blink kicks ass I’ve got 10 outdoor cameras and one indoor cam and feel very very secure between my dog and my second amendment our second amendment and Blink cameras I think I’m pretty damn secure in my home so y’all have a great night and peace out!!!
