Don't Waste Your Money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't bother! What they don't tell you is that you need a separate module to connect to the internet. Stupidest thing ever. Ring cameras have all in one camera and module for connecting to the internet (and a cheaper subscription).

Posted .Hello Sheila! Thank you so much for taking time to provide feedback on your Outdoor 4 cameras. I am terribly sorry to hear that 2 of your cameras are not working properly. We would definitely love the opportunity to try to resolve your issue so that you can utilize all 5 cameras. A couple of things that you can do to troubleshoot are as follows. First, if those 2 cameras are too far away from your Sync Module 2 device, that would make them overwork themselves and potentially drain your batteries more. You can check on this by going to the Blink smartphone app on your mobile device, and tapping the 3 dots on the thumbnail of the cameras in question. From there, tap on General Settings. You can see your battery life here as well as your network strength and connection to Sync Module. If you do not have a full and green connection, you can try moving the cameras or the Sync Module closer to improve that. If need be, we do also sell a Blink Sync Module XR separately that will give you extended range for those 2 cameras. In those settings, you can also navigate to motion settings and make adjustments to things like motion zones, motion sensitivity, or retrigger time. This will assist in lowering your battery usage as well. Lastly, make sure that the batteries you are replacing are lithium ion AA batteries and not standard alkaline. Alkaline batteries will drain much quicker in the elements. If all else fails, I would recommend you contacting Blink Customer Support through the smartphone app Help menu via chat or phone. This will assist in Blink assisting further to try to resolve your issue. Thank you so much for your time and feedback and I hope these tips help improve your experience. Have a fantastic day!

Posted .Hello BarryU,
I am sorry to hear your Blink camera is not working. A flashing red light on a Blink camera usually indicates a few common issues: low battery, a problem with the Wi-Fi connection, or the camera being in setup mode. To troubleshoot, you can check the battery, restart the camera, verify your Wi-Fi, and update the firmware. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Have a nice day.

Capable camera, good option for those on a budget
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new Blink 4 outdoor security camera is a good option for more budget minded shoppers. The Blink system has a lot of options for this price point. The camera arrived well packaged with the camera, Sync Module, batteries, USB cable, mounting kit and power adapter. Setup was fairly straight forward, although I found the directions severely lacking. As with most things these days, you need to first install the Blink app and create an account. The Sync Module is the "hub" for the blink system. After installing the app and creating an account, plug in the Sync Module and connect the system to your wifi network. Install the batteries in the camera, add the camera in the app and "follow the directions." That sounds simple enough but I had trouble getting everything to connect properly at first, and there are no other written directions if you run into a problem using the app for setup. It took several tries before the camera would show up in the app and there was no way to troubleshoot anything until the camera was recognized. My advice: after connecting the sync module to your wifi network and installing the batteries in the camera, wait 5min before trying to install the camera in the app. I think it just takes a while for everything to communicate together. During daytime the camera has a nice, crisp picture. I find the low light capabilities to be sub par, but the night time/infrared works very well. I like the fact that notifications can be configured so that I don't overwhelmed with alerts, and there is also a motion detection sensitivity slider so you can adjust how quickly the camera fires a notification. The included mounting hardware is easy to install.

Very Good Camera.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have several Blink camera’s inside our home mainly to let us know when we are away how our two dogs are doing, but I had never purchased an outdoor camera. I was pleasantly surprised that it also included the Sync Module as well. I mounted this at the entrance to my woodworking shop simply because it would be easily accessible for me to reach once I need to charge the battery. And w/ out the included sync module I don’t think the Wi-fi would have picked up to our house. Already having the a Blink camera the setup was simple and smooth. And w/ in minutes I had the camera installed w/ the provided mount (no screws supplied) and it took no time to adjust the angle of the camera. It is very lightweight and the mount is designed that when I need to recharge the camera that its simple to remove. This 4th generation is a little more advanced than the Blink that I have inside our home, I have generation 2 I think and the video/picture quality w/ this Blink Outdoor 4 is very, very clear. I have purchased the plan that I pay for each month and I can store videos through the cloud or on the card that I purchased that inserts into the camera. I also love the fact that it works w/ our Alexa home system and to view the camera’s once we get an alert is available by phone or on our Echo. I like the fact that it lets you know the distinction between movement and a person. Very good quality camera and system. I will be purchasing several more outside camera’s to pair w/ this one.

Posted .Hello, RokuWestinghouseTV! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having with the Blink Outdoor 4 Cameras. I have some recommendations to try and help fix your battery issue. I recommend going into the settings in the Blink app and seeing if you have a "high usage" alert. High usage means that the amount of motion clips recorded and Live View used is causing the batteries to deplete quicker than expected. I recommend ensuring that your camera has at least three bars of signal strength for camera-to-Wi-Fi and also setting up Activity Zones to prevent excessive motion clips or false alerts. If the above basic troubleshooting steps don't prove helpful, please contact Blink Customer Support at 1-833-392-5465. Thank you again, have a great day!
Not working for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t work without Sync module, 60 second video bites unless you upgrade battery pack and not enough control of said video. Batteries don’t last.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendunbearable clicking noise
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unusable because Outdoor 4 with Sync Remote XR emit a clicking sound that can be heard in TV headphones and AM/FM radios. Most annoying.

Posted .Hi disappointed, thank you for taking time to provide feedback on Blink Outdoor 4. I am sorry to hear you have had a negative experience thus far. Blink cameras convert audio into a digital stream so it can be heard for Live Views and recorded clips. During this conversion, extra sounds can sometimes be heard. These sounds may sound like a cluster of noises, scrambled distortion, chirps, or clicks when accessing a Live View or playing back a recorded clip.
The upload speed of your network plays an important part of your digital stream. When network speeds change quickly, your audio may be distorted. Blink devices require at least 2 Mb per second of available upload speed for each Blink device, even when multiple users are online. Thank you again, have a great day!

Posted .Hi there, JasonGThank you for taking the time to review the Blink Outdoor 4 camera. I’m really sorry to hear that you've had problems with the connection. This type of issue likely stems from a weak Wi-Fi signal. To help improve the connection, please try rebooting your Wi-Fi router, make sure your doorbell is close to the router, and check the Wi-Fi signal strength. Also, ensure that the doorbell is using a 2.4 GHz network for better performance. If this does not help resolve the connection please feel free to contact Blink Customer Support directly at 1-833-392-5465. Thank you again for your valuable feedback!

Posted .Hello KevinL,
I am sorry to hear you are having battery issues with your Blink Outdoor camera. There are a few things to try to keep the battery to last longer. If your Blink camera batteries are dying quickly, it could be due to factors like high usage, weak Wi-Fi signal, or even using the wrong type of batteries. Blink cameras are designed to use AA lithium metal batteries, not alkaline batteries. Reduce Live View: Prolonged use of Live View drains battery faster. Lower Sensitivity: Reduce the camera's sensitivity to motion to minimize false alerts and battery drain. Set up Activity Zones: Focus motion detection on specific areas to reduce unnecessary recordings. Monitor Battery Level: Check the battery level in the Blink app. Optimize Settings: Adjust settings to optimize battery performance. Arm camera when needed: If possible, only arm your camera when no one is home. Hope this helps, have a nice day.
