The batteries with the item last about a year actively running for person every night. I like the quality and settings you get. I have a farily large home i would say 2 cameras are 50 feet separate and still good connection.

I love the quality when it’s night time as I can still see everything really clear. I live on a Main Street and love that the camara does not go off for every single car passing by the but as soon anything enters the drive way it automatically alerts us. Great cameras.

easy setup and comprehensive instructions. Needed something quick and this satisfy. Night vision is great depending on the camera location. I have one camera that you can’t see at night but I recently found out that they also have an add on flood light so I will purchase one and see if that’s fix the problem. Otherwise no complaints and user friendly app

Very responsive & easy to set up. It helped detect a burglar who broke in the 2nd time & the video was very clear. Handed it to the police for further action.

Best camera I have found in this price range. Battery is excellent at over a year time before replacement.

Great quality camera for the price. Very user friendly. Have this set up iny driveway. Takes some trial and error for it to be perfect. Can be too sensitive in default settings.

The Blink system is great. I love that it works so well for motion capture, both inside and outside. The app is fantastic and user friendly, and the subscription service is a good price. I find that the advertised battery life isn't true, but that's most likely because of my settings and how much it picks up, so in my book, it's still a good product. I love how easy the system is to maintain.

The cameras are easy to setup and easy to use. Good video quality during the day and night. The battery life is amazingly long. My only criticism is that the system works much better with the paid subscription and the local storage option is a bit sluggish.

Blink Camera Outdoor 4 Detailed Review
|

Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased the Blink Outdoor 4 cameras with the intention of using them within my home. I know that they are outdoor cameras, but the wireless feature and small form factor was what sold me on these.
_The Good_
Video Quality: The video quality depends on several factors. These include the settings within the app, and the speed of your home network and internet connection. If you are looking for great video quality, make sure that you have good internet service for download AND upload. Both are important here.
Night Vision: The night vision infrared is capable of seeing people in very low light conditions. However, if it is pitch black at night, the video quality is poor. These are not high end cameras for infrared night vision use. Will get the job done, but if you are looking out for details for that random person in your backyard, then try another product.
Sounds Quality: This goes back to what quality settings you choose in the app, and the network performance in your home. Much like the video quality mentioned above.
Phone App: The app is very simplistic to use for anyone who are familiar with smart home applications on their mobile devices. Keep in mind, THERE IS NO COMPUTER PROGRAM OR WEBSITE that you can use to work with your system in any way. This is exclusively through an app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store. The trade off is that the app does include several detailed features on how to customize you camera system. Although, it would be nice to have the option to control the system via program or app on a computer.
_The Bad_
Battery Life: If you prefer to have your cameras at a high resolution/quality, this will drastically reduce the battery life from the talked about "2 years" to down to just a month depending on the cameras activity level. This could be as little as a couple of weeks. They do offer an expansion that increases the battery capacity from 2 to 4. However, this does not do anything but double the battery life of what was already short. The camera does have the option to be powered (not charged) via USB C connection that solves this issue. However, this defeats the purpose of being wireless, and removed the water resistance of the device. Essentially, making the device a wired, indoor camera.
Subscription vs. Local Storage: Like any home automation/monitoring system, there will be a subscription fee. However, if you choose to opt out of the paid subscription, you will have no ability to record and store your videos in the cloud for ease of access. There is the option to record them locally, but the system is buggy. This includes corrupt video files, and not recording when it needs to. Further, you will lose much of the cameras functionality. Please see the blink website for details on the subscription versus free.
_The Ugly_
Poor Connection:
ISP Connection Speed: 500mb Download / 30mb Upload
Router: High End $300 plus router.
Apartment Size: 900 Square Feet
The connection to the home network and to the Sync Module is poor to practically non-existent at times. While using these devices in my home, the connection was good for about 2 weeks. Then one of the cameras began to show offline. Trying to access the camera gave me "could not connect" and/or "Camera is busy". Note: I had these connected via my 2.4Ghz network as instructed by Blink and within 25 to 30 feet of my router.
I had to power cycle the camera by removing the batteries. This did not work. Removed the camera from the system and performed a reset. This worked for a time. A few days later, both devices went offline and I had to perform the same steps. The system worked a few more days, and then happened again. I am a Computer Hardware and Network Technician. I took it upon myself to look at the network via my router's user interface and ran several tests, as well as testing all other devices both wired/wireless, and stationary/mobile. All other devices worked fine. No errors pulled from the logs for the network connectivity or for an individual device. I checked with my ISP, and they detected nothing wrong with my modem or connection outside of the home. Looking at the logs on my router, I did see that 2 MAC addresses were showing incorrect credentials. Confirmed that these MAC addresses belonged to the cameras. So it seemed that, for some reason, the cameras would "lose the networks credentials". Confirmed that the routers network security was in line with Blink requirements.
Customer Service:
I then had to call Technical Support after the above. The entire time that spoke with customer service, they had me perform the basic network troubleshoot of rebooting my router, granting them permission to my Blink Account, power cycling the cameras, et cetera. The entire time I explained that it is not my network that is the issue. Everything else on the network is working fine. The rep continued saying that "I see multiple network connectivity errors. It has to be your network." I mentioned that nothing on my network, router, modem, and ISP is testing in the negative. The representative, in my opinion, ignored any information that I provided and kept blaming my home network. I had tested this same system with another router/location with the same results.
The result was that they would send me a replacement for ONE of the cameras. I did not request a replacement. I simply wanted to speak with someone about the information that I found out, and see if there was some way to get the cameras that I already owned back online.
It seems that this network connectivity issue is also affecting several others. Please see other reviews for this product here, and on Amazon.
Luckily for me, I only wanted these cameras to watch my new dog when I was away from home. If you are in need of serious home protection, please look elsewhere for the sake of protection of you and your loved ones. They deserve the best, and this is not it.

The Blink Outdoor 4 is a solid security camera. It comes with a Sync Module to manage the camera (and it can manage several0 and it can store video with a USB Drive. The Sync module needs a solid internet connection as does the camera and the camera needs to be able to connect to the Sync Module. Placement needs to be thought out. So far, it works as expected. Good video and audio on the camera. It does not have rechargeable batteries with up to 2-year battery life. To me, that's a plus - even a year of battery life is better than dealing with recharging batteries or connecting solar panels. to cameras.
