Hi there! I am new to any type of home security so I apologize in advance. I’ve tried researching the best cameras, but it’s become confusing and frustrating for me.
I am in need of outdoor (preferably battery or solar operated) cameras for monitoring. I’m in a bit of a domestic situation and need to get them up asap. I went to the store quick and picked up some outdoor Blink cameras however I’m struggling to get it to connect to the WiFi and it’s taking such a long time. Is that normal for other Blink users?
I’m wondering if I should switch. At this point I’m not terribly concerned about the price and more my safety.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
