Well thanks for womp womping my birthday present. Haha I haven’t had time to read all the documentation and such but it seemed like I read you can use a usb for local storage. Hope that’s true.

On certain ones you can use a usb for storage

We got "grandfathered" in at $4.99/mo. somehow. We have 6 indoor/outdoor and 1 indoor. We've had them years before they started charging and years since, and saw no difference at all.

Out payment was like 20 dollars a month and that was for 4 outdoor cameras. The quality changed right once we started payinh

I have blink gen 3 cameras outside my home and 1 in my coop and run, I love them! You can set up what alerts you want from what cameras and put a snooze on them for any length of time you'd like. I highly recommend getting the sinc module and USB for additional storage. I got a free 30-day subscription, then it's either $10 month or $100 for the year for unlimited cameras. I don't have any issues with them waking my ladies up because there is no spotlight, it's infrared that you can adjust for clarity.

Ya they just came out with the gen 4, so all the gen 3 cameras are 50% off right now on Amazon.

I have two wansviews in my coop. Both aimed at the nesting boxes. They have batteries in them but i have them hooked up to solar panels that keep the batteries charged. I love them and check up on my girls regularly. My coworkers catch me checking up sometimes when the hens are loud lol

I just reactivated and relocated one of our Blink cameras to our chicken run. Granted it is a Gen 3, but I’m now reminded of why I got so frustrated with them before. I get so many notifications of clips that have no movement. Then I don’t get any recording of movement I know if there (auto coop door opening and chicks walking down the plank). Instructions say that the little sync thing needs to be within 100 feet. I have it in our bedroom so about 50 feet, and there still some issues. I also can only snooze the email notification for a max of 30 minutes.

I hope Gen 4 is better! I’m going to look into some of the others that were mentions. I like the idea of aiming it at the nest boxes!
