My larger concern was the Range for the motion sensor. The Blink website reports a 20 foot range. You, jyl, claim your cameras were alerting to passing cars. I'm guessing your front door is further than 20 ft from the street, no? What kind of range are you experiencing?

My camera outside the front door was alerting when cars drove down the street at the side of my house (I'm on a corner lot). Those cars were at least 50 feet away. The lighting conditions had to be right, but it was happening almost every day. I turned the sensitivity down but ultimately had to move the camera to the other side of the door and angle it down so that it barely sees any street.
