This question was asked about the related product: Blink - Outdoor 4 – Wireless smart security camera, two-year battery life, 1080p HD. Sync Module Core included – 5 Cameras - Black

• A:Answer Hello Di, thank you for your question. No, you do not need to own an Amazon Alexa device to use the Blink Outdoor 4; it functions independently with the Blink mobile app for basic features like live view and motion alerts. While Alexa integration offers voice control and other smart features, the camera can be fully set up and used with a compatible smartphone or tablet without requiring any Alexa-enabled devices. I hope that helps, have a great day!

Q: QuestionCan these cameras be hooked up to a monitor so that you can visually watch what’s going on?

Asked 6 months ago by Jeff.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - Outdoor 4 – Wireless smart security camera, two-year battery life, 1080p HD. Sync Module Core included – 5 Cameras - Black

• A:Answer Hello Jeff, The Outdoor 4 Camera's will not connect directly to a Monitor. They are only able to be viewed through a smart device such as a Smartphone, Tablet, or Smart TV. You would be able to view the live feed via a monitor that had an HDMI Port that you could plug an Amazon Fire Stick in to. Using the Amazon Fire Stick, or any Smart TV which is Alexa enabled, you would be able to pull up the feed and view it on a monitor or TV. I hope this answers your question!

Q: Question1. Does the camera start recording when it senses motion? For how long does it record? If finite, how long until it will start recording again? 2. Do i have to have a paid subscription to view recorded events? Like Wyze, can I just view recorded events?

Asked 4 months ago by Dawsotr.

• A:Answer Hello Dawsotr and thank you for your question! The Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless starts recording approximately 5-10 seconds when it senses motion and you can change the sensitivity of the motion alerts/recording. The clips are generally 5-60 seconds in length with a retrigger period between 10-60 seconds (as dictated by the user). In order to view recorded events, subscribe to Blink Subscription Plan. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Q: QuestionDo I need a subscription for this device?

Asked 5 months ago by Otto.

• A:Answer Hello Otto, thank you for your question. No, a Blink Outdoor 4 does not require a subscription for basic functions like live view and motion alerts, but you do need a Blink Sync Module 2 to save recorded clips locally to a USB drive instead of using cloud storage. While you can use the camera without a subscription, you'll have limited access to advanced features such as cloud video recording, person detection, and extended cloud storage, which require a paid subscription. I hope that helps, have a great day!
