I have nothing on Blink, just a comment on devices using special apps:?
what happens when the Internet connection fails?? A few weeks ago here
the ISP had a problem so no connection to the outside world.? My cameras
worked fine as they as all internal, on my LAN.? If the signal was
traveling outside and back in I would have had a dead feed.

I tested Merkury 1080p - it requires MQTT connection to the control server.
And will not start local ONVIF/RTSP until that connection succeeds during
boot. If internet access is lost after the boot - RTSP remains enabled.
And by the way, the remote server can issue a command to shutdown RTSP at
any time ;)

People are idiots, so they buy whatever junk is available on the market--and
are perfectly happy with it, like swine wallowing in shit. They compete with
one another to see who can enslave themselves most completely to the network.
Everything is like that these days: internet connection is required to do
anything, with the main purpose of the device being to spy on the user and
their friends/family/surroundings, with whatever actual functionality the
device being a tertiary concern.
When the internet goes away, or comes under attack by hostile forces and TCP is
rendered useless by packetloss, 95% of today's hapless "computer users" will be
surprised to find they are no longer in possession of a working computer.
Millions of Way Smarter Than You dirtbags will find their IQ instantly drops 60
points when Google is no longer available. There will be wailing and gnashing
of teeth, etc.
