I love the blink camera system. I have them in the house up north and down here. I can see and control all from one app on my phone. Super easy setup.
Blink is motion activated so if anyone steps in your house, it will notify you with video within seconds.
I don't have a monthly subscription. Not sure what that provides.
The cameras are battery powered so no wires to run. The batteries last at least a year or more.
They cameras can tell you the temperature.
One important thing to note is that blink (as with most other brands) must have a working wifi internet connection.
You can't shut down your internet down while away.
If you google the subject, there will be many comparisons of brands.
Good luck.
