If you’ve ever thought about adding a surveillance camera to your home, you might want to consider broadening your scope by having multiple cameras installed. You’ll be able to getting a better perspective of what’s happening in the house—not just the back yard or the front porch—but the entire property, both inside and outside.
Blink, a manufacturer of battery-powered wire-free smart HD home monitoring and alert systems, says that multi-camera systems are the new norm in home monitoring. Based US Census reports, the multi-camera approach makes sense, given that 72% of homes have five or more rooms and 62% of homes have two or more floors.
Blink’s multi-unit systems range from $149 for two cameras to $299 for five cameras. The wireless home monitoring system includes no monthly fees and can be purchased on Amazon or Blink’s website, www.blinkforhome.com.
Using the free Blink Home Monitor app for iOS and Android devices, Blink allows users to instantly gain insight into their home or workplace from any location via live HD video and recorded video clips when motion is detected.
Suitable for homeowners, renters, and businesses, the Blink camera’s sleek design and compact size fits into any décor. Its unique industrial design allows the camera to stand on its own or be mounted with an included bracket. Equipped with features, such as an adjustable sensitivity motion sensor, low-light illuminator, built-in microphone, temperature sensor and free cloud storage, Blink provides a comprehensive, customizable and user-friendly solution for home security.
Along with multi-system support (where a single account can access and manage multiple systems in one or more locations), Blink is also working on a battery-operated alarm, scheduled arming, and IFTTT support.

This “review” sounds more like a sales pitch than a review. Very substandard. When you have a device that battery-powered one of the most important features to consumers is how long it will run on batteries and what type. Not mentioned, secondly a so-called “unique feature” that it will stand on its own or with the bracket. I don’t know of one camera made that won’t do that unless it’s intended strictly for mounting on a wall or in a wall. Absolutely no mention of its functionality, quality of video , Quality of audio or even a guess at its durability. This “review” sounds like something I could read off the side panel of the product box and is definitely not a review.

I believe you would need to have an independent system at each residence.

I like your tip to add multiple cameras so you can see all over. I used to have a camera in my house just on the front door, and it didn’t help when someone broke into my window. I think adding a lot of cameras to cover the floor plan is the only way the cameras are worth having!
