    An ok camera system, quality isn’t that great but if you need cameras will record and wireless then these will work for you.

      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

    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 guess I am comparing them to our ring system we had at our resort. Not pleased but they work-just sometimes you have to request them or keep armed

    I bought the 2-pack outdoor 4 camera and was considering buying more to put around my house. Twenty days into owning and testing with the 30-day free trial of Blink’s cloud access one of the cameras stopped recording to the cloud. It would notify me of motion detection but the clip is not there to watch. I’m 5 days past my return window so I’m stuck with an intermittent recording of one camera.

    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 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.

      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!

    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.
