Title: Kickstarter: Blink Video Camera
Post by: Blueiris8 on August 16, 2014, 07:53:07 pm
Anyone planning to get this?  HD video, motion detection, and temperature sensor, in one completely wireless package for $50 per unit.  Hoping someone more technologically sound than myself is getting it and will be able to integrate into Almond+.

I would love to see cameras integrated into the almond like they are with other HA hubs, but not sure I like the blink.
Kinda like dropcam where the video is all stored online. Don't personally care for that.

In one of the FAQ updates they mentioned that they are adding a USB port to the Sync module to allow for local storage.

Yes, saw everyone's posts so I signed up for one too.  Will be interesting to see how it integrates with Securifi.

Adding local storage via USB is good option. I wonder if Blink could store image/video to local FTP like Almond+ USB connected drive.
