Blink, blinkity-blink.

Blink, and you’ll miss it.

I have, of course, pushed the button on these affairs many times, but I’ve never installed one from start to finish. One of my best clients wants me to put one in complete with swivelable camera inside, and three outside, including the camera in the doorbell itself.

One thing is confusing me so far, among other things:

Hardwiring into an existing doorbell ringer does not negate the need for batteries in the doorbell unit, some say it has no effect on battery life, Blink’s official word differs from that:

Quote:

The Video Doorbell can be installed wired or wire-free. When wired, the doorbell battery life is extended up to two years and rings your existing in-home chime. Even when wired, the doorbell is always powered by size AA, 1.5 volt, lithium non-rechargeable batteries.
