Blink Doorbell Camera Battery Draining Fast

I used to have a Blink. This doorbell is better with better app interaction to answer a doorbell ring. The angle plates are a good design to line up the view properly.

Works fine, allows me to charge battery in camera, and to run camera without draining battery. Quite happy with this.

Great to have a remote instead of using the phone and draining battery even more throughout the day.

This is a great way to download photos to your phone without a computer and without draining your battery (phone and camera) by using the image transfer apps. All you need is an SD card reader and you will be able to transfer the images.

I have to say that little camera has impressed me more than more expensive cameras. I connected it to constant power and I have no issues with it draining my battery. It shuts down five minutes after I turn off my car and turns on Automatically. It’s so out-of-the-way and hidden that I barely notice it as I’m driving so it’s not a distraction and the quality is great. I ended up putting a polarized lens that is offered through Garmin and the clarity is so much better than when I take it off.

I bought this after my full-frame Sony went on the blink. Grandkids were coming and I needed a camera fast but, thinking my 'good' camera could be repaired, decided I didn't want to spend a lot of money on an interim replacement. After a couple of weeks of shooting I've come to love it. It's light, fast, colors are true and the dynamic range is very good for a camera at this price point. I've paired it with a Sigma 56mm 1.4 Art Lens and a Tamron 15-200mm zoom and am getting great photos.

So far this battery has outperformed my Nikon batteries. It is exceptional. I never have to worry about it draining too soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a camera doorbell system you cant go wrong with this one! It's super easy to install and operate and best of all no hard wiring needed. The motion detector camera works flawlessly and I love getting the alerts directly to my phone. The video is crisp, clear and you can interact with the person on the other side. The battery life is also super long and the battery is rechargeable.

Running off a laptop means it helps to have an external that has its own power source so its not draining my laptop battery. I have a portable drive so I use this one when in the studio and both always contain the exact same files. I have used Western Digital for years and trust them as I have never had one fail.

This is exactly the cable I needed to allow me to use my Bose 700 NC headphones with my iPhone without draining my battery or needing an adapter. And the volume and play/pause buttons work perfectly so I still have the player control I wanted.
