Customer Ratings & Reviews

This newer version of the Blink outdoor camera is the 4th "generation" of their very simple outdoor security cameras. It continues the basics of the previous versions in that it takes two AA lithium batteries and has a fixed-focus lens. It continues the good design of the rear cover, as the first versions were not good. This Outdoor 4 includes a simple tool to turn the big screw holding the rear cover in place. The cover has a seal of sorta around the edge so it (hopefully) remains water-tight. There is a small rubber type cover plug for the USB cable if you were to use it to connect a solar charger or an add-on battery pack. The plug does *not* have a retaining tab attaching it to the Blink so it might be easy to lose. Included is the latest version of the sync module to connect your camera(s) to the web, plus an AC adapter and USB cable to power the module with. It should be noted that the charger and cable are NOT for connecting to the camera! Also included is a very basic and rather cheezy mount for the camera. Still the same snap-on design to hold the camera to the mount. Still needs work. You can shop around for non-OEM mounts more suitable for the outdoors. The adding of the camera (or first time setup of a system) gives a free 30-day trial to the cloud hosting and special AI features like identifying what is the object triggering the motion alert. After the trial it will revert to the regular features the other Blinks have on my plan.

The Outdoor 4 Wireless smart security camera, comes with batteries and is said to last up to two years. Safety in the neighborhood is important to me and was more than happy to test the camera. For setting up the camera it requires the following steps. 1) Plugging in the Sync Module and scanning the QR Code that is on the back. 2) Placing the batteries into the Outdoor camera and also taking a picture of the QR Code in the back before closing it and/or scanning the QR Code to add it to the system. 3) There is a small tool that helps to take the backing off of the outdoor camera. this same tool is used to secure the camera mount in place. When in the app of the security camera, your able to name the camera and activate it using an Amazon account. It provides a 30 day trial for you to use. The camera has features where you are able to talk to your pets, animals, and people who may ring your doorbell, and/or anyone who may be trespassing on your property. There is day and night modes. You can set the device to take pictures at least one time an a hour or more. You able to arm and disarm the camera. Pros: Can position almost any where within reason on a fence, your house, etc. It comes with two screws that mount the camera. Battery Not hard wired Cons: Can be easily removed out of the holder. (However, I have multiple cameras at my premises, so this wouldn't necessarily be a problem. We positioned the camera high up. Other than that, still think the purpose it not bad at all.

Been using Blink for a bit now ever since Google upped their monthly fees for their service. I found that the Blink service has been really solid and haven't had any issues with them to date. I've had a couple sticky cams from other manufacturers and they've worked ok; some not so much. Firstly, I liked the size of this camera. It's about hockey puck sized so it's not large at all. Also helps in that it's not too conspicuous when mounted either. I mounted mine indoors so it's not really an issue for me. The included mounting bracket is pretty simple/straight forward so no issues with installation. Camera quality is pretty good. You can change video quality in the app to your liking. One thing I did do was hardwire the camera to a USB-C cable/plug. I'm sure the batteries would hold up for a bit but I really feel more comfortable knowing the camera's on and not having to worry if the camera dies when it's most inconvenient. The included sync module helps out a bit if you plan on adding more cameras or other Blink items.
