Customer Ratings & Reviews

Will not load video to cloud for viewing. Only live view works. Customer support was ZERO help and would not offer replacements.

Their mounting apparatus is so flimsy anyone could reach up and pull them off the wall.

Blurry and poor recording quality. Not at all worth the price

They don't work well, I don't care for this product

Can’t go wrong with this pack if you’re just trynna find a camera equipment that’s easy to use/install. And it’s honestly nice. Only thing tho I don’t really like is the subscription you have to pay to have it running 24/7. Other than that it’s great

The 2nd and 3rd gen are great but not these! Save your money!

Would not buy again wish it didn’t take me longer than the return period to know that

Don’t purchase worst cameras ever I hate these the quality sucks!!!

It had to be the worst system ever!!! I would not endorse this product!!!

Poor quality in the house and outside don't record outside good.

Does not record when there is motion. Very poor night vision

GARRRBBBAAAAGE! ^_^ ENOUGH SAID. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. SAVE FOR THE HIGH END.

Already wore review long review on both it’s purchased

I havent receive item yet. Im trying to get in touch with bestbuy as of now

Night vision is horrible. Blurry shadows. So i bought arlo and wow. Worth the extra money

This camera is better than the version 3 cameras, with a longer run time option, better picture, and a bit better night vision. But it is still very limited. For example, other cameras notify us & start recording far more quickly, some can even record continuously, and some have much better night vision. I can recommend these if your needs are minimal, fairly basic, and you have a limited budget, otherwise there are far better options.

The Blink Outdoor 4 camera is a great option for those looking to get into home security without breaking the bank. This system has everything you need to make your property a bit more secure. If one camera isn't enough, there are other packages you can purchase if you are looking for a multi-camera system. Setting up the Blink Outdoor 4 is straightforward. Download the app, follow the instructions and you should be up and running if a few minutes. Once you get everything set up, you will want to decide where you want the camera and mount it. The kit comes with the hardware you need and the hardest part is figuring out where you want to put the camera. The overall quality of the image is good. At 1080P, you are not going to be getting super high resolution images, but that's part of the trade off having these cameras running off AA batteries. You will have to play with the app a bit to get the settings just the way you want. The settings will most certainly determine the battery life so pick what is right for you. The night time image quality was pretty decent and slightly better than the previous generation. For my needs, this system works great. The sync module has a USB port so you can plug in a flash drive and store clips locally which I think is a great feature. Overall, the Blink Outdoor 4 is a nice little system. If you are looking to get into home security, this camera system is a great place to start. You can stick with the single camera or add more to suit your needs. The app works great and I have been pleased thus far. Great experience!

I want to thank the Best Buy Tech Insiders Network for sending me this camera to review. I have a few different cameras on the front side of the house but nothing to watch over the side of the house. Every now and then I hear noises coming through the air conditioner vents but since I don't have any windows on that side of the house, I can't tell if it's my neighbor putting out his trash or if someone who doesn't belong is walking to my back yard. I mounted this tiny Blink Outdoor 4 camera onto my awning over my side door that faces the front gate and when I hear a noise, I pop open the app and look to see who's there. The quality of the picture is incredibly clear in the daytime and using infrared it is very clear at night as well. The camera is so light weight, I was able to mount it with the 2 included screws right onto the side of the awning. The camera comes with a mount that can be angled in any direction when using it's included secondary mount but I was able to mount it with only the base mount and the angle was perfect. The camera takes 2 AA batteries that were included and they say it should last 6 months before I'll have to change them. The package includes a sync module that will extend the WiFi to the area where you will put the camera and it has a USB jack to put a flash drive in to record my videos locally or I could choose to store the videos in their cloud service. They give you 30 days free cloud storage after which I will probably subscribe for only $3.00/month for that camera. They have other subscription plans for multiple cameras as well. The app is available for iOS and Android and is great for viewing your live video feed as well as your saved clips and it will tell you the storage remaining on your flash drive. For a small camera at such a low cost, it is a great deal and can protect your home for a fraction of the cost of a professional camera system.

I was a little iffy on this Blink camera at first but it has really grown on me. My first impressions were great; the packaging was sufficient and the setup on the app was extremely easy. I barely and I mean barely had to do anything to get the camera, the sync module, and app all connected and working properly. The app setup process was excellent and one of the best I have seen. Once it was all set up, this was where I kind of lost confidence in the app. The current version is a bit cumbersome and harder to understand compared to competing brands I have used. It took me a day or so to realise the camera was not recording anything because I had not "armed it," my mistake, I thought arming it would have meant turning some sort of alarm feature on. Once it was all set up correctly it was great. It is very sensitive, one of the more sensitive cameras I have used and seemed to be picking up all motion as I experimented with walking around in front of it. The image quality of the camera is even better than I was expecting. It is not pixelated, night vision also looks great. The audio quality is a little iffy, it sounds like faint constant static even when nothing is happening, but I'd rather have better video than audio quality anyways. Lastly, the mounting system is a little worrisome, the plastic clips are all very thin and feel fragile, and I'm worried about when winter hits if this plastic will be able to stand up to the test. I prefer a magnetic system but we'll see how well this system lasts. Overall this is a great camera for the money and would work well for just about anyone.

I recently added the Blink Outdoor 4 (4th Generation) Camera to my preexisting Blink Indoor Wireless Camera system. The camera itself has a small profile at just less than 7 inches square. The exterior is a weather resistant, matte, black plastic and is very similar in design to the indoor cameras. The front of the camera houses the lens with the camera status light beside it and a microphone at the bottom edge. This camera has two-way audio, which is fairly clear minus any background noises from the outside. The night vision image quality (1080p) is about the same as that of my Blink indoor cameras. The speaker is located on the edge of the camera to the left of the lens and on the back is a USB port with a rubber cover. This can be used to plug in the camera or with a Blink compatible solar panel. The battery compartment is held closed by a round, silver “lock”. Inside the battery compartment is the reset button. Out of the box the Blink Outdoor 4th Generation Camera was easily added to my existing Blink home security system by scanning the QR codes on the camera (located beneath the battery compartment cover and in the quick start manual) and the Sync Module (located on the back) using the Blink App and following the prompts. The Sync Module 2 is included, which allows for recording storage without a Blink subscription plan, but the required USB drive for storage is not provided. The Sync Module needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet using the supplied micro-USB charging cord and block and the Module and camera need to be within 100 feet of each other for optimal communication between the two. FYI the Sync module should be added on the Blink App prior to the camera. Camera setup and installation were pretty straightforward as well. The back cover was removed using a coin to turn the silver “lock” allowing the battery cover to be removed. Two disposable 1.5volt lithium batteries are included. These batteries are rated to provide up to 2 years of battery life dependent on device settings and use. When replacing the back cover ensure that the blink logo is at the top and on the same edge as the cameras lens. The camera can now be mounted using the provided hardware. The video playback of the Blink App has always seemed a bit delayed to me and depending on your Wi-Fi connection the audio can sound muffled. The video clips do not have a time or date stamp and I think the addition of both would make the system more user friendly. The Blink App allows extensive personalization of the enhanced motion detection system. This camera also allows for “person detection” but in order to take advantage of this feature a paid Blink subscription is required. The sensitivity of the camera could be better because I have had persons get fairly close (within 40 feet) to the camera before it detected movement. However, the notifications arrive quickly, within 5 seconds of detecting movement. The system allows for still images to be taken but the clarity of them diminishes dramatically over the span of 20+feet. Blink does offer the option of floodlights with some of their cameras but this security camera does not have that and could definitely benefit from the addition of a spotlight and/or siren. While the Blink Outdoor 4th Generation camera does exactly what it claims to do, it does so in an unimpressive way. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. The system’s features could definitely use some tweaking. It’s definitely not an entry-level camera but it does not offer any cutting edge technology either. Perhaps the 5th generation will provide some much needed upgrades.
