Update4-16-2023
Upon updating my review on April 8th, Blonk support contacted me and arranged to send me a replacement.
The replacement was very easy to install, the previous one had difficulty finding and connecting to the internet, the replecement connect wothin seconds and has been flawless.
Based on this, I am restoring the 5 stars it had and deserved and cudos to the Blink team who were very helpful, and very responsive…
Update 4-8-2023
I am having an issue where this becomes “disconnected” from the sync module. It has done it now about 5 times in 2 month.
While disconnected, the lights don't work and neither do the camera. Pressing the button on top of the camera for about 5 seconds brings it back to life, but it then needs to be reconnected as if its a new device. It does not take long to do this, but yesterday it was raining and I could not do it until today.
Other times it has become “disconnected”while I was away traveling leaving that area void of coverage. I have watched many of the help videos and have now move the sync module closer to the camera. I will do an update later if this helps… but one of the battery operated cameras on the sync module is a lot further away and has never failed… other than that, I am still pleased with it.
This was a breeze to set up. Granted, I already have two Blink battery operated cameras and this connected to that modem / controller or whatever. It was very easy. Just carefully follow the instructions!
The camera image is excellent and the wide angle gets everything into frame.
Colors are bright and it has a good image.
Night images are B&W and good. The quality of the video is good in the dark and much better when the lights are on.
The brightness of the lights can be adjusted from the app.
Actually everything can be adjusted from the app. You can even turn on or off the lights, talk or even sound a siren… thats pretty impressive!.
The build quality is solid and i can't fault this (wired) light set with camera.. i do question the ridiculous amount of cardboard inside the box…total overkill!
From what I see, I strongly recommend this set. It jumps right to the front of the pack…

A great outdoor camera with flood lights

The other solution for a camera with flood lights is the Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera which is essentially the Outdoor 4th generation camera with the battery powered dual flood light camera mount. This costs $129.99, or purchased separately, the mount is $39.99 and the camera is $99.99.
So, like I said, if you already have an outdoor fixture, and you're willing to replace it with this floodlight camera combination, this is your best bet.
Installation was easy, and took about 15 minutes from taking down the old light fixture, installing the Blink Wired Floodlight Camera, adding to my Blink account, and setting up the camera settings. The camera is very well designed and well made. The lights's aim can be adjusted individually. I added some of the screenshots from the app to this review so you can see what settings are available.
One thing I wish the Blink app had was the shortcut to turn the floodlightsc' motion detection on and off right on the device list. This would benefit those with the wired and battery powered units. I made an image in Photoshop and added it to this review. I submitted a feature request to Blink, so we shall see what they say.
