One of the app's few special features is a sort of spreadsheet where you can set a weekly schedule for arming your cameras. You can change the camera settings to record longer clips, up to 60 seconds, but this consumes more battery power and more storage space. The default for alerts seems to be 4 seconds, but cameras will take further clips if the motion continues. You can get a Live View, but it cuts out after about 20-25 seconds. You can take a snapshot while you're away, but Blink doesn't provide a continuous video feed. Now, you must understand that Blink is not a sophisticated CCTV system. If someone, or some thing, triggers a camera's motion detector, a short video is sent to the Blink app's camera roll, so that you can review it. When leaving your home or office, you have to set the Blink app to Armed. For security purposes, neither camera should be triggered by anything except an intruder, though I suppose you could use one to log your driveway, or whatever. The other is on top of the fridge and watches the back door and much of the kitchen. One of my cameras sits on a window sill and watches the living room door and the bottom of the stairs.
