Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned a 2nd generation Blink system for a couple of years now and I have had zero problems with it. So, as I needed to add another camera to the fold, I went with Blink again. The box contains a camera, a wall mount, hardware and batteries (2xAA Lithium), as well as a 4th generation hub. I wanted to take advantage of the new capabilities of the new hub, so I replaced the one that was powering my system. A word of advice, you will need to set everything up *before* mounting it all, this includes going through the installation procedure through the app. It's very simple, you tap to add a device, you pick the right one and scan the QR code on the device and you're all good to go. You can't make the process easier than that. As for the camera, I can already tell that the new model is superior to my 2nd generation cameras. The image is clearer (1080p), more vivid and the night vision works much better. I also realized that the new camera connects faster and has less lag, which is something you would want from any security system. I can't really speak on the battery life since I haven't had the new camera long enough, but if it's anything close to my other cameras, and making sure you use lithium batteries, you can expect about a year before you'll need to replace the batteries (the box claims 2 years of runtime on batteries but I think that's a bit of a stretch). You can also hardwire the cameras using a weatherproof USB cable. The app is excellent, I find it easy to use and has many great features. One of the best parts is the now quite common motion detection area picker, which allows to block certain sections the camera monitors to ignore motion sensing triggers. It works great. Quite frankly, I have recommended the Blink system to many people. It's solid, affordable and flexible, has a good chunk of different devices which can all be added to your security grid. I will very likely replace some of my 2nd generation devices to 4th gen now. Excellent product, recommended!

From setup to placement to the app, I have been impressed with the Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Camera and hub so far. This is my first Blink camera. I have a few Eufy cameras as well, and have had Arlo in the past. I would say overall, the Blink has superior video quality. However, the Eufy and Arlo cameras are a few years old, so I would expect newer models to have better quality. Setup was simple. The app works well, with an easy to use interface, and it was able to locate and connect the hub and then the camera quickly. I placed the camera about 100 ft away down by our creek to take videos of passing wildlife. So far all I have is a few videos of deer, but the quality is good during the day and at night. I cannot yet speak to the battery life, but I do appreciate that it has easy to replace batteries. Depending on how long they last, I may purchase rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Wnen the batteries in the Arlo cameras died, they were costly to replace so I got rid of the cameras. The two Eufy cameras I have are hard wired, so I cannot compare batteries for those two. The only downside is that the cloud storage costs money after the 30 day free trial. You can also purchase a $15 usb drive for the hub to save files locally, so I will probably go that route once the 30 day trial is over. If I were to purchase additional Blink cameras, I could see the vaule in paying for the monthly cloud service. Overall, with the easy setup, use, and video quality, I would recommend this camera.

Set up was super easy. Just download the blink app scan QR code on sync module and camera after adding to home network and you are ready to install on almost any part of your house or apt outside. Mounting can be done in as little as 10 min(in my case) with the included mounting hardware that doubles as a tool to open the cameras back to install the provided lithium batteries. You can over head mount or side mount and simply attach the camera and you are good to go. Connection is very stable as I never had any drops that I am aware of. Though I did place the sync module in our kitchen as the camera is located in our back yard to supplement our existing security from another brand that I’m not very happy with. I think I might switch over to blink with it being super easy to install. Picture quality is actually quite good for only being a 1080p sensor(see pics). Very clear during the day and pretty good night vision quality as well. Motion detection works very well so much so I have to snooze it when me or my wife are in the back yard doing stuff. You can adjust many setting in the app to suit your liking. Arm and disarm is great one press and no more notifications. I did change the video quality to higher quality and you do get a notice that battery life will shorten, which makes sense. On to the battery life which is advised as up to 2 years. Will it last 2 years? I don’t know as I just got it several days ago. But even if it only last 1 year that will be amazing with just using 2 AA batteries- crazy how technology gets better month over month. But yea, this single camera is very well priced and is very easy to set up. I definitely recommend it especially if you are not tech savvy. And care about value.

The blink outdoor 4 is a 1080p HD security camera that you can place almost anywhere, and is solid performer, but does require a subscription to really be able to use it as security camera. It requires two AA lithium metal batteries, which are included. They claim up to two years of battery life depending on the settings you chose. To get started you must first download the blink app and create an account. After this, setting up the camera is fairly simple, but it does require that the battery door of the camera be removed so that you can scan the QR code to add it to your network. After setup you can place this camera anywhere you want, so long as it has access to WIFI. The blink app is also user friendly. I didn't have any trouble finding the options I was looking for. This camera requires a subscription to blink's cloud service in order to record events. There is no onboard storage. You do get a 30 day free trial period to try out the Plus service. There are two blink subscription plans, basic and plus. Basic is $30/year and is good for only one camera. Plus is $100/year for unlimited blink devices and some other extra options. You can also use this camera without a plan, but it will only notify you of motion, and give you up to 5 minutes of live view. It will not record anything if it does detect motion. Also, because Amazon owns blink, it will works with Alexa. Overall it's a security camera solution that doesn't break the bank, and is easy to setup.

The Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Smary Securiy Camera touts a two-year battery life with full HD 1080p video resolution. It was very easy to install, but was not compatable with our older model mounting and needed to use the newer mounting kit. This fourth generation camera from Blink has HD live view, infrared night vision, and crisp two-way audio. This is nice when I need to talk to someone who is the yard when I am not around. We originally got this system to watch my mother-in-law who was in the beginning stages of dementia. We wanted to make sure she did not leave the yard during the day or the day or the house int he evening. These cameras give us the peace of mind with alerts. We can see everytime someone comes or goes onto the property. I am excited to test out this two-year battery life. It came with two lithium batteries and I an excited to make sure that they last for two years as promised. This camera has enhanced motion detection, which I can attest to as we have older generation cameras surrounding the house. The camera quality is so clear and crisp compared to another brand we have at another house we own. You are able to engage this device using Alexa, you can arm and disarm your system and more using your voice. The Blink cameras are great and this fouth generation camera is excellent. We will most likely upgrade in the future.

Blink outdoor 4 cameras are small and powerful. Video quality is excellent as is wi-fi connection. Purchased this 3pk. with core module at a great sale price to use as add-ons to my current system that is on a sync module 2 with a $100 annual subscription with unlimited add-ons. Sync module 2 also accepts thumb drive for local storage, The sync core module with 3pk is a bonus for me for later use. The outdoor 4 cameras are also great on battery life. My original Blink set-up was nearly 1 1/2 years ago and is still operating on the original battery installation. This is a great purchase from Best Buy.

I've reviewed lots of cameras over the past few years and somehow this is my first "BLINK" camera. The BLINK Outdoor 4 is an anywhere you want everywhere you need it kind of camera. By that, I mean you can pretty much place or hang it just about anywhere in or around your home or office with relative ease. Getting crisp pictures with the 1080 HD lens, with a night vision option to boot. The record time is a minimum of 5 seconds and up to 60 seconds. There's a cool down period between recordings. So, unfortunately, you may miss some vital footage upon playback. The speaker gives of clean and clear volume as long as you're not hawking your microphone from your device. There is a slight delay between speech sound from the speaker, but over-all the latency isn't too bad. I've definitely encountered worse on other camera systems. The housing of the camera is made of plastic, and this can mean that any slight nudge or heavy breeze can make it shift. So, I recommend that you consider that when you're deciding on where you'll want to place it. Mind you, you can use this camera anywhere that reaches your WiFi. With that in mind, I've decided on placing mine in my hallway. (Can we really trust maintenance?) The camera is powered by two Lithium-ion batteries that are said to be able to last up to two years. However, that does depend on the amount of traffic in front of that camera. So, it could last a couple weeks or a couple months before you'll need to recharge. Downloading the app and signing up for one of their quite affordable plans can garner you whole slew of other features. Or you can just use a thumb drive for storage. It is safe from the elements, as long as the type C cover is on. But again, I can't stress enough, that you'll want to make sure that it's in a secure location. If you need more recording time, I recommend picking up some other camera. But if you're looking convenience and an easy set-up. This should do you just fine.

I'm glad a friend recommended Blink wireless smart security camera. It is a clear image and fairly easy to use for someone that had not been around outdoor wireless cameras before. Battery rather than wired worked well for my needs. I would recommend Blink products.

This is my second Blink purchase so I am a big fan of their products. It is very easy to set up which I love and the cameras are very clear. I got carried away and had 12 cameras at one point but you’re only allowed 10. Ten is still plenty but more would be a game changer.

The cameras were easy to set up and picking up motion. However, I was unaware that a subscription service is necessary in order for the videos of the motion to be seen. Older legacy blink cameras didn’t require the subscription. So after the free trial period I will have to pay for subscription. These cameras are being used at an elderly parent’s house so I will keep but this needs to be information that is stated clearly up front. Also night vision needs to be adjusted because auto is dark

Pros: easy to setup, relatively cheap, well built wireless security camera that can be linked with multiple other cameras, relatively cheap subscription for the first year, intuitive app, very quick install, can be linked with your Amazon account. Images are clear and videos as well, in the dark you can increase the infrared sensor strength to get better photos. Cons: Doesn't work with Google home, and its not mentioned clearly on the product description, the sync module doesn't have a SD card slot, if you want one you need to upgrade it and buy one that does. if you want to add multiple cameras the plan is $100/ year or you have to upgrade your sync module with one that supports SD cards. why not include one like that from the start? I installed it inside my garage as a secondary protection step against burglary, it took 1 minute to mount the bracket and 10 seconds to snap the camera in place. it was easy setup. I chose not to link the blink app to my Amazon account as I see no reason to do so. overall, its a good wireless camera but I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it didn't work with Google home.

great choice, the 4k you can hear everything and see everything great cameras. easy to install all you need wifi and thats it, no cables no hassle 5 minutes you all set up.

Bought as a gift. I've had a Blink system for several years. It is economical and works well. The Outdoor 4 camera has a wide-angle view in color during the day and black & wihite at night unless there is a light source. There is an optional floodlight mount available. The battery life is great. You can set the motion sensitivity to suit your location and block areas with privacy zones if needed. For the best battery life, set the length of the clips to 15 seconds or less. I have the sync module 2 and use an USB stick for local storage instead of paying for a cloud storage subscription. That option adds a few bells and whistles that I don't miss after the free 30-day trial. There is an updated version of the camera but after reading reviews the extra cost wasn't worth it to me. I haven't tried the Sync Module Core but I would assume it works just as well as the previous verson.

These cameras are so handy! They’re super easy to set up, and can be installed virtually anywhere! So convenient. The all is easy to use, and the camera quality is pretty good.

For now everything is working well, they are easy to install and program. The transmission is clear and you can easily see the lenses.

I bought these cameras to go with my video.Doorbell, by blink, the video is outstanding super.Easy hookup I love it

Ever since i got this cameras. They veen nothing but wonderful. You can view your house even if you're in another state. Never had to check the batteries. They last through freezing temperatures,rain, and even fog! Im actually so surprised. It even has a night vision (which saved my life) because i got my car robbed in the middle of the night and i check the cameras and boom we saw him!! Wonderful Video Quality as well. It has motion zones where you can customize detection. It has photo captures. Best part is you can disarm it if the notification gets too annoying or you can adjust the motion sensitivity. 10/10!! Told my whole family about it.

Works great- clear night videos- colors are great- meets all my expectations

The camera works very well and picks up movement as it should. The set up should be easy enough but for some reason I put the cart before the horse and had to undo everything to get it set up properly. Snapping on the holder to screw into my fence where I put on camera was really tight and that's good in a way, don't want it falling off but when it comes time to change batteries I believe it's going to be a bit of a chore with out breaking it to pull the camera apart from the holder. Otherwise works great! Worth the money

Very easy to set up and last longer i will recommend it to friends and family
