Very good quality camera. Easy installation, great price. I wish that I could purchase one in white. You do need to purchase the Internet hub for your signal but overall I am impressed

I got an incredible deal for these 3 cameras so I really can not complain. The picture is good quality. I have no idea yet about the battery life but I have seen some people say it is horrendous so I guess we will see. I have been using them for about a month and a half and I have not gotten a low-battery notification yet so fingers crossed. I did purchase a Blink subscription to use the cloud because without it things move VERY slowly and you have no access to a thumbnail before you view your clip.

Great quality and easy to install. Bought these to add to our existing Blink cameras. Just know, in order to see the clips on these new cameras you either must have a blink subscription or you need a memory stick. Our old cameras did not require this. Still love them!

This camera does exactly what the specifications say it will, and I now have it installed looking out over an area of my property that can’t be seen from inside our house. I have used security cameras before, and, while the setup presented no problems, it is a little different from what I’ve normally encountered. Setting this up involves pairing TWO devices. Included in the box along with the camera itself is a small device about the size of deck of cards called a “sync module.” This device, which must be connected to a power source at all times (no batteries in it, but it comes with an AC power connector), is what you pair to your smartphone first. Once done, you pair the camera to the sync module, again through your phone. The camera itself is powered by AA-sized lithium batteries, two of which were included in the box and are something I had not seen before. There is a mini-USB port inside the case that you get at when the cover is opened to access the battery compartment, but it is apparently only used for firmware updates and the like and is not a power connection point. It will be necessary to keep on hand spare AA-lithium batteries when the ones included in the box eventually need to be replaced. The sync module needs to connect to your home wi-fi network, so it needs to be in range of your router to the extent that there are at least “three bars” of signal as stated in the installation guide. The camera then needs to be in range of the module. In my situation, I have the module located inside the garage only a few feet from the camera, which is outside on the other side of the wall, and the module, even at this distance, has sufficient signal from the router to operate properly. As far as using the camera, it couldn’t be easier. Open the app and tap either the video or snapshot icons, and a few seconds later you’re either watching a live video with sound or looking at a snapshot of what the camera saw at that moment. I actually had occasion to travel some distance from my home over the past week (more than 1000 miles), and I had no trouble connecting to the camera from the other side of the country. The camera is supposed to be usable with Amazon Alexa, but I do not have Alexa, so I could not try this feature. In summary, this is a perfectly fine security camera that should do what most anyone wanting a security camera needs.

Pros include: relatively low cost, relatively small size, and the rated two year battery life. Cons include: None yet. I did some research prior to getting this camera, and found that it is largely viewed to be the best camera in what I’ll term the “value camera segment”. It comes with two 3AAA lithium batteries which are supposed to last for about two years. As you’d expect, that will vary depending on your specific usage and the environment that the camera operates in. Setup is straightforward, just download the app and power up the blink sync module 2. The app will connect via Bluetooth and then proceed to ask you for your preferred WiFi SSID and password, and the app will pass that onto the blink sync module 2 and you are halfway home. Adding the camera is equally straightforward – if you read the directions. When you insert the batteries into the camera, note that (spoiler alert) the QR code for the camera serial number is on the internal camera body behind the cover that is removed for battery installation. So don’t do as I did and install the batteries and reinstall the back cover without adding the camera before doing so. Mount the camera, and if you’re interested in using the motion sensing capabilities of the camera, you take a photo and select in an 8 x 8 grid where you want the motion sensing to look, and the other parts of the grid are excluded for motion sensing. Pretty cool way to go about it.

The Blink Outdoor 4 camera comes with the usual hub or module that you will probably leave in the box with it's USB cable if you already own Blinks. There is a lot of little white boxes that you will have in a pile after setting it up. The good part is that especially if you have the pre-existing Blink account and wifi module, the setup takes all of 3 minutes. There's a tiny little QR code you scan with the Blink app, and in moments you have the new one added to your app and account. Even Alexa immediately announced she found it and ID'd it with a long code name for the product, you still need to rename it if you want to ask her to show you the camera feed on one of the Alexa devices. To me--the Blink camera mounts have always been a simple rather cheap little mount that isn't all that easy to install and adjust. The mount is adjustable to aim, but there is no set screw or other hardware to make sure curious squirrels don't move it, which they have many times. Go for aftermarket mounts, you'll be much happier. The image quality seems to be better than the prior versions. I have never gotten the batteries to last 2 years, more like about a year with average action. it's a decent easily installed and hidden camera, I like the Blink products for that reason.

Easy to install Work great Coverage and clarity are excellent

The Blink outdoor 4 is a nice small, easily concealable security camera. Different from other small ones in that it does use a base station of sorts, which Blink calls a sync module. The advantage of this sync module is that it has a USB port for connecting a thumb drive that can record clips locally. This makes it so if you choose not to have one of Blinks monitoring plans you can still save and view clips. Picture quality is so-so. it's slightly pixelated around moving object. Worse the faster they move. People aren't as pixelated as cars for example. Subscribing to the service includes the ability to have a people detection mode instead of just motion alerts. Definitely play with the motion alerts sensitivity as things like moving tree branches, small animals like squirrels or even trash blowing around will set it off. The blink app is intuitive and easy to use. I'm concerned over the claim that 2 A batteries can last up to 2 years, but only time will tell. So far so good. If you want an inexpensive decent security camera that won't break the bank, the Blink 4 is hard to pass up.

How did I live without these cameras? I have nothing but great things to say, the blink outdoor 4 product checks all the boxes. From product quality, extreme ease of installation to video quality that is so easily accessible on my phone app, there is nothing that I would change. The color and detailed quality of the video is amazing. I can speak to whomever is near the cameras and they can answer back, even while I’m away from home. I recommend to friends and family and have even purchased one for a family member. We feel we have up to the minute protection at our home, I get notifications when I am away and can keep a watchful eye on deliveries and my elderly parent. I am planning on purchasing a few more for our property in the near future.

Easy to set up and install. I would definitely give it 5 stars if it had some type of optical zoom. Pinch to zoom works ok but not great. That being said, the camera system is what Blink and Best Buy said it was. So far so good!

I’m happy to have An affordable wireless security system that is simple to use. The cameras are synced to my iPhone and iPad and have fairly clear images and good viewing angles. Works great for our needs and meets our expectations.

Good camera and recording device for price. Night time vision quality is okay, need some kind of light on to see though, but might be the positioning I have mine in but overall good camera devices

Easy to set-up and easy to install. I installed this 5 camera system for my cousin and now he has a view of his property. He is impressed with the clarity of the cameras.

Clear picture and very durable with weather very satisfied with purchase only downside is that it takes the app forever to load up even with perfect connection

I've been using Blink outdoor wireless secure system for over a month now. All I got to say is, I'm amazed with the image quality. Perfect view in day light & at night. As well as in every weather condition.

Easy set up! Clear pictures! Highly recommend. The picture is clear and video is perfect

Excellent picture quality and using batteries is a perfect combination

I setup a two-cam system in my house. The cameras and app work well once you get everything configured properly. I had trouble getting the motion sensing to work. I wanted to use these as nanny cams, with just leaving the camera lens portion exposed. However, you cannot get night vision or motion sensing to work by doing that because the IR sensors are in the lower half of the camera body. So, if you are trying to use these cameras in a covert manner, you won't be able to get anything other than Live view out of them. Unfortunately for me, this was a deal breaker so I had to return them.

We've had our "blinkies" at our home for years. This purchasae was a second set for my daughter's apartment while she's away at Medical School. Had the cameras (one main blinky and one mini) set up in under a half-hour. We can now see both our cams and hers. There is very little that can give us the sense of security we get with blink cams. We will never again have a place without them. And Best Buy had a fantastic price on a 2-cam set that was impossible to resist - much better than Amazon. Thanks, Best Buy and Blink Cameras, for helping us all sleep better at night!

This cameras are amazing easy-to-use and set up battery life last long just like they say and they have real clear image.
