    Sad product. Will not easily set up. So many emails and passwords to remember and submit to Blink and Amazon. You must have a subscription or this is worthless. I would not recommend this product.

      Hi Daniel,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Blink Outdoor 4 Camera. We're genuinely sorry to hear that the setup experience felt like an obstacle course — you're right that getting your home security up and running shouldn't require a spreadsheet just to track all your credentials.

      We completely understand your frustration with the account requirements across both Blink and Amazon, and we hear you on the subscription concern. While some advanced features do require a subscription, we'd love the chance to help you explore what's available to you without one, and to make the setup process feel a lot less daunting.

      If you'd like some hands-on help getting things sorted, our support team is ready to walk you through it step by step. Please don't hesitate to reach out at 1-888-280-4331 or through the Amazon app — we're here to make this easier for you.

      We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Feedback like yours helps us do better. AmazonDevices

    Works when it wants to. Doesn't always pick up motion even when the motion is close up. Was supposed to be second best to the Ring doorbell and security camera system. I would say not

      Hello CharlesH,
      I am sorry to hear your Blink outdoor camera is not working smoothly. If your Blink camera isn't detecting motion, ensure your system is armed, motion detection is enabled in the app, and that you have sufficient storage available on the USB drive. Troubleshooting steps include checking the Wi-Fi signal, adjusting sensitivity settings, and even resetting the Sync Module if necessary. Hope this helps, 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! AmazonDevices

    I purchased this camera on sale at a good price, and I was disappointed it had a good Daytime view,Night time view was unreliable. I installed it outside for surveillance and at night the lens would fog up and I couldn’t see anything in the recordings. I had to return them..

    I recently purchased the package of 5 Blink outdoor 4 cameras with its module. 4 of the cameras are working without problem. The fifth camera every time it is tried to be linked to the module says "device not supported". We called customer service and they sent us another camera. However, the new camera cannot be linked either. The same message "device not supported" appears.

      Hi ArtashesM,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Blink Outdoor 4 camera system. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing rapid battery drain and delays with live viewing—that's definitely not the experience we want you to have.

      Regarding the battery life: The Blink Outdoor 4 is designed to last up to two years on batteries under typical usage, so quick battery drain suggests something may need adjustment. A few things that can help:

      Reduce motion sensitivity in your camera settings to prevent excessive triggering
      Shorten clip length to conserve battery power
      Check your Wi-Fi signal strength—weak connectivity can drain batteries faster
      Review activity zones to focus only on areas that matter

      For the live view delay: Streaming delays can often be improved by:

      Ensuring your camera has a strong Wi-Fi connection
      Checking your internet upload speed (Blink recommends at least 2 Mbps per camera)
      Moving your Sync Module closer to your router or cameras if possible

      We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and want to make sure your system works as expected! AmazonDevices

    I purchase 2 sets of cameras For 2 houses All installed inside the House or at the exterior under the roof ( no sun no rain ) Use the recommended settings Very easy to install and set up Software is wonderfull BUT THE BATTERIES !!!!! don't last for 3 weeks at the most Blink said 2 years. I had contact them an replaced 2 cameras I need to purchase many many lithium batteries thinking the originals were old. No way same problem has expense more than $70.00 in batteries !!! Support is very good but at the end Will tell you to replace the batteries nothing else I need to order cables to remove the batteries and connect to AC The main reason ti purchase Blink was to boy use ac and not need to run wires !!! No you know the true if you purchase Blink purchase cables to power them by AC power !!! Do not recommend to buy

    I wouldn’t recommend this camera. I purchased it on Nov 11, 2024 and have had to replace lithium batteries every two weeks. Blink customer service wasn’t much help and only sent replacement batteries which were the same brand that I was using. The battery life is supposed to be 2 years. I tried their other suggestions as far as moving the sync module closer and even relocated the camera thinking it may not be getting a good signal but batteries still drained within two weeks. I will be purchasing a different brand.

    These cameras are sub par. The quality is just decent. They only record motion clips. I bought $400 worth of cameras including the floodlight and doorbell camera and installed them less than three weeks ago and now I have to get new batteries. I have the settings at minimums.

    Purchase this camera 6 months ago it doesn't work you have to go through all this rigmarole and jump through plenty of Hoops to download a new app because the firmware is not updated. Bought a package of four from another store online they work great right out of the box. Best Buy wanted to charge to load the firmware forget it it's sitting in the closet in a box too late to return it not a good idea the salesperson knew nothing about it I feel like I got stuck with it.

      Hello MonicaR! I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing these connection issues with 2 of your Blink Outdoor 4s. If the other cameras are not having these same issues, these 2 cameras may be too far from the Sync Module possibly causing the batteries to die too soon and dropping connection intermittently. You can check this by opening the Blink smartphone app and selecting the 3 dots icon in the image of the camera feed you would like to check. From there, go to Device Settings and then to General Settings. Here you can see your network connection as well as your connection to Sync Module. If either of these is not full and green, then you can try to move the Sync Module closer to the outlying cameras to improve connection. If this doesn't work or if you need them to be further away, there is a Sync Module XR that is sold separately that will allow for an extended range for 2 of your outdoor cameras. You can also troubleshoot further by contacting Blink Customer Support via the smartphone app through Chat or Phone. I do hope this resolves your connectivity issues and that you have an amazing day!
