Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the Outdoor 4. It was super easy to set up and install. The easy on/off for motion detection is a huge plus. Actually the whole program is made for normal folks! Easy to run. Easy to read. The cameras are small so they will go about anywhere. I am going to get a router booster to see if i can set a camera a little further up my driveway. All in all great little set up. Comes with free subscription trial. I am going to keep it. It comes with several perks and really reasonable! $10 a month for unlimited cameras. But you dont have to have the plan. Can totally be a closed system which is cool too..

The mini outdoor camera is amazing. clear recording on rainy days and at night. The night vision is amazing taking clear videos at nights while it is dark. Live view I can watch on my phone. Motion detection is amazing too it records anything moves within the wide range. It is water proof and the battery last ever. I put the new battery 5months ago and still running. It was easy to install and rotate the direction I wanted.

We had an ADT system installed a few weeks ago, but with only 2 cameras and a blink doorbell. Due to the cost for additional we decided to purchase the Blink cameras as add ons. What a great choice! These cameras are far superior to the ADT cameras, with much more clarity and vision, especially at night. Very easy to install (2 screws and snap in) and can be mounted most anywhere with little difficulty. High recommended and the price was great!

This Blink outdoor camera 4 is a good affordable security camera, however it needs a few upgrades. The camera comes with a sync module that allows you access to your camera recordings, you get a free trial of the Blink plus plan that includes unlimited cloud storage, person detection, video saving and sharing, motion detection, live recording and photo capture. So far the camera works well outside near my laundry room with a clear view during the day and clear night vision. The camera case looks durable and it’s weather resistant, two way audio is clear enough to be able to hear and talk. The only downside it’s that there’s not rechargeable batteries, the instructions says that the battery last up to two years, but I’m sure it all depends on your settings, also the wall mounting included cheap screws that when you try to adjust the camera, the screws break in half, I recommend you get your own strong screws to install the camera outside. The Blink camera works well with Alexa ( voice commands) however it doesn’t allow you to see the camera on the Alexa app, which is disappointing since I like to see all security cameras on the Alexa app. Pros : affordable outside wireless camera Cons : no rechargeable battery, can’t see the camera on Alexa app.

easy to setup very good video had on battery fail after 4 days not good and dont know how to get a replacement verry happy with the units no cabled to connect and they work very well

This Blink outdoor camera is a real winner! I am so very impressed with the clarity and the audio capabilities of this little camera. I have it attached to my garage and I can see right down my entire driveway, onto the street and the house across the street. It will pick up motion from up to 100 feet away. I can get a live view at anytime from the Blink app which with a subscription will keep all of the camera takes for as long as I designate with the app. You do not have to have a subscription to store your views, just a separate Sync Module and a USB connection from Amazon and you have your views on file. Best video camera I have ever used. Highly recommend.

Easy to install, much better quality than previous generation. Love that I can store the videos on a flash drive, and the quality. Also love the 2yr battery life.

A few years ago, if you wanted security cameras around your home, you had to shell out a lot of money for a wired system with a dedicated DVR, and usually pay someone to put wires from the cameras to the DVR through your home. Not something many people want to fool with. Fast forward, and more affordable wireless cameras hit the scene, and Blink is one of the more popular (and inexpensive) ones. Blink cameras are basic compared to some other systems, but still very useful for the price. Wireless cameras can cost upwards of a couple of hundred dollars or more for elaborate systems, but Blink cameras are much more affordable and regularly go on sale. They don’t quite offer all of the same thrills as those that cost more, but they are excellent as a detection system that lets you know when someone is messing around the outside (or inside) of your home, and in good lighting, now produce good video clips as well. The 4th generation here, has expanded the field of view to 143 degrees, which is wider than the last generation which was 110 degrees – so you get more into the picture/video side-to-side, though it will bow a bit at the edges due to the wide field of view. Setup is pretty simple… you download the Blink app and sign up, plug in and connect the “Blink Module” to your WiFi (this acts as a hub, that your camera connect to wirelessly), and then via the app, add your devices before placing them where you’d like outside (or in). They run off of AA Lithium batteries (included), and it’s important to note that you should NOT use regular AA alkaline batteries in these, as they’ll drain very quickly. AA Energize Lithium batteries are readily available online and in some stores, and with average but not excessive use, can last up to two years in each camera. Once set up and positioned properly, you’re set. Included mounts allow you to pop the cameras on via an adapter on the back of them, but other more secure mounts are available online with covers and cases to protect them better as well. They are very weather resistant, but if you add a case to it, it helps protect them even more. By default, the cameras will detect motion when they sense it and send a notification to your phone, and with the app you can view the clips. This 4th generation has added person detection which if you enable, will only alert you if it detects a person (something previous generations do not do). You can customize the length of the clips along with a variety of other settings like setting up areas where the cameras won’t detect motion at all, change the clarity of the videos, turn notifications on and off temporarily (or the cameras on and off altogether), and much more. You don’t need to subscribe to a cloud based video clip storage subscription in order to save clips, as you can use a USB drive plugged into the Blink Module to store clips on, but I do notice more delays in storage and playback using this method. If you swing a subscription for $3 per month (or $30 per year per camera) per month, your clips will be stored for X-days in the cloud, and this works more quickly, plus keeps your videos off-site so if you have a fire or someone somehow breaks in and steals the hub, your clips are still safe. The person detection feature is also only available with a subscription. You can subscribe to the “Plus” storage plan for $10 per month or $100 per year and connect multiple devices to your plan for storage. You can also download saved clips to your phone or tablet if needed when subscribed to either. I’ve used the third generation of Blinks for some time. This forth generation again, promises a wider field of view compared to the last generation (true), a few more customizations in the settings (true), and better image quality (welllllll, not really). In decent to good light, the latest generation puts out very good video clips that are clear (1080p-ish, but quite compressed), just like the last one. Night vision however, still suffers quite a bit. Night clips are still quite fuzzy, black and white, and not very appealing, though again, even at night at the very least it still makes you aware of motion in a covered area, so you’re alerted. It’s too soon to compare battery life, but the claims of up to two years by Blink are the same. Of note, battery life is subjective… if you put one of these in a very heavily used area (kids, pets, etc) and it records dozens of clips per day, you’re definitely not going to get two years out of the batteries. If you put one of these let’s say on the side of your home, the driveway, in the garage, etc., where it gets less traffic, then battery life will be greatly increased. You can also tinker with battery life by adjusting how long or short the video clips are, their quality, etc. In mid to late October 2023, Blink is going to sell a battery extender that clamps on to the back of the Blink 4 units that doubles battery life, essentially, so look for those. Overall this latest generation of Blinks is still very good. No, they don’t compare to very expensive cameras, but they keywords here are, “for the price”, they offer quite a bit of security for what you’re paying for. You get decent, wider, videos than the previous generation, although slight delays in getting notifications hasn’t changed since then. Also of note, some area police departments are so overwhelmed with false security system alarms, that some of them actually will avoid answering calls if that’s all you have going off, unless you can verify someone is messing around (with a camera, etc). So having at least a couple of these up outside and at least one inside, does give you the opportunity to verify if someone is lurking around, increasing your chances of help arriving quickly (or at all). If you’re on a budget, I do recommend Blink as an additional layer to any decent security system setup around your home.

Love the versatility of the cameras. Beautiful clear view, day and night. Zoom feature is my favorite!! It allows you to zoom in on live camera and on the recorded clips. Each camera has adjustable settings, ie: length of recording, optional screen adjustment (to stop unwanted triggers) two way voice with mute and many more features I haven’t tinkered with yet. Usable with or without a monthly plan. Base unit is included and can link up to 10 pods. Extremely easy to set up, it took less than 30 minutes to install and link all 5 cameras.

Setup was easy. Quality of pictures is great. Works great even at night. Hi

I needed to add one more Blink outdoor camera to our current blink system which consists of a combination of a Blink door bell camera, indoor wired and outdoor wireless cameras. Adding on the additional outdoor wireless camera was very easy. It took a couple of minutes to install the wall mount then add the camera to the existing system thru the easy phone app and it was up and running. Love these Blink wireless outdoor cameras, no wires to run so making remote mounting very easy. No wireless connection issues at all with these wireless cameras. They're a great deal.

Great system for the price point!! Can’t be this option for the money! Don’t hesitate and get today if you’re in need of decent secuirity cameras at a great price.

Excellent Tech! We used it and like ease of setup. Good motion detection, range, and picture quality.

i original got these because i had some things come up missing under my awning. These are so easy to put together and set up. i have them at 2 properties now and will be downloading the subscription to keep after my 30 day trial period is up. Great price during the Black Friday sale.

Setup was very easy. Download the Blink Home Monitor app, connect the Sync Module, and add it to your home network. Then scann the QR code on the camera to finish setup. Camera is very sharp and clear during the day and also at night. The app responds to motion in about 4 seconds. My voice was heard clearly over the speaker. Highly recommend. The person detection is only available if you have the monthly subscription(very bad news).

At the time of this purchase, I got these cameras on promotion price. So far they have been working great. They are easy to install, and work of 2-AA batteries each camera that I believe are included. They came with a module so you can pair them and a 30-day free trial for recording your clips. A subscription is not needed to use them and store your clips. You can actually use a USB-A as a method of storing your clips instead of a subscription. As a protection recommendation, spend a few more bucks to get the Best Buy protection in case they stop working, it will make your life easier when it comes the time that they will eventually fail rather than going thru the manufacturer. I recommend these cameras if you are on a budget and don’t want to spend a whole lot on high end cameras that will do the same thing only at 1080p for these cameras. They are made of plastic so it feels cheap however they are not heavy as they are light.

I have 8 Blink wireless outdoor cams around my home and used for past couple years. They are inexpensive, long lasting batteries, good quality video, easy setup and easy to use. Most important is my family is safer in a not so safe world.

Great add on camera for my blink system. Easy to install and works great.

Very easy to set up and install software on your phone. The cameras work great at night and outdoors . I recently baught additional cameras to add to my home security. Very happy with this purchase.

Item was extremely easy to set up. The blank system in its entire entirety is super easy and user-friendly. Picture clarity is amazing and the ability to save and set particular settings was great.
