Hi there,

Great question! Yes, the Blink Outdoor 4 can record when it detects motion — but here's how it works depending on your setup:

Motion Detection (included free):

The camera has built-in motion detection that will alert you and can trigger recording when any motion is detected (people, animals, cars, etc.)

Person Detection (requires Blink Subscription Plan):

If you specifically want the camera to distinguish people from other motion (like a tree blowing or an animal passing by), the Blink Outdoor 4 offers Person Detection — but this feature requires a Blink Subscription Plan ($3.99/month Basic or $11.99/month Plus)

Recording & saving clips:

With the included Sync Module Core, you'll need a Blink Subscription Plan to save recorded clips to the cloud
    Alternatively, a Sync Module 2 (sold separately) with a USB flash drive allows you to save clips locally with no subscription

So to directly answer your question: yes, the camera will detect motion and can record — but to specifically filter for person-only detection and to save those clips, you'll need either a subscription plan or local storage setup.

We hope this helps with your decision!
