The camera won’t connect to my hotspot device. You have a be up close for the camera to send a motion notification. I wouldn’t purchase this specific camera again.

The Blink Outdoor 4 security camera system is a great choice if you're looking for an affordable, wireless solution to monitor your home. With a generous five-camera pack and the included Sync Module Core, it provides extensive coverage right out of the box. The biggest highlight is the convenience. Installation is a breeze, and the cameras' claim of a two-year battery life means you won't be constantly recharging them. The 1080p HD video quality is clear and sharp enough to capture important details, while the infrared night vision ensures you can see what's happening even in the dark. The cameras also feature two-way audio, so you can speak to visitors or ward off unwanted guests. While the system is easy to set up, it's worth noting that the best performance depends on the placement of the Sync Module Core, as this hub manages the camera's connection to your Wi-Fi. Many of the premium features, like person detection and cloud storage, do require an optional Blink Subscription Plan, which is a common practice for many smart home devices. Overall, the Blink Outdoor 4 offers great value for a complete, easy-to-use security system, especially if you prioritize long battery life and a simple installation process. It's a reliable and straightforward option for anyone looking for peace of mind.

I recently purchased the Blink camera and it has exceeded my expectations. The setup was quick and easy, and the app makes it very simple to monitor everything in real time. The picture quality is clear both during the day and at night, and the motion detection is very reliable without being overly sensitive. I also like that the battery life is strong, so I don’t have to worry about constant charging. For the price, it’s a solid security option that gives me peace of mind and is easy to use.

The Blink Outdoor 4 set is easy to install, delivers clear video quality, and has great battery life. Motion detection works well, and the app is intuitive. It’s a reliable and affordable way to keep an eye on your home, day or night

The Outdoor 4 is Blink’s latest iteration in their outdoor system of cameras that offers many of those features you’d find in your typical outdoor camera, including weather resistance, night vision detection and recording, two-way radio, and battery life. But what makes the Blink Outdoor 4 stand out from the rest of the pack? Having owned almost every outdoor smart security ecosystem, there is definitely one thing that stands out about the Blink Outdoor: its square shape. Right off the bat, you may start imagining the ways this camera can be mounted around the exterior of your home and the ways it can blend in and be out of sight. Its off-center camera lens is both unorthodox but kind of refreshing as it really doesn’t scream surveillance camera. To get the technicality out of the way, this is a 1080p HD camera offering a 143 degree diagonal view. It is wireless, utilizing two AA lithium batteries; Blink is advertising 2 years of battery life from this camera WITH regular use. To take advantage of cloud storage as well as other enhanced motion detection features, there is a monthly subscription of $3 for a single camera, and $10 for unlimited cameras, with the latter offering things like 10% off Blink devices and extended warranty coverage. Setup is very easy. The kit comes with the Outdoor 4, a Sync Module, 2 AA Lithium batteries, and mounting hardware. The back of the camera has a panel that must be unscrewed, but you won’t need a screwdriver, but more like a quarter to loosen the large slotted screw. Blink includes a plastic tool that easily does that job. Once you unscrew the backing, you will find two slots for the AA batteries, a QR code to aide in setup, and a reset button in the event that you need to start fresh. All hardware setup is done through the Blink App and provides a guided step-by-step how to. Connectivity to your home network is done through the Sync Module (included with this kit). The beauty of having a module, especially one that can fit into your hands, is the ability to extend your range of the Outdoor relative to the Sync Module and not your WiFi router. All it requires is a quick setup using the Blink app and ensuring that the module has a good signal to your network. All you need is an available power outlet to provide power to the module; a power adapter and USB cable are included. If you choose to add more cameras to your ecosystem, the Sync Module can handle up to 10 cameras. So what did I have to change to make this camera a little bit more functional for my taste? I noticed that the recordings were very, very short. I learned that the default was 5 seconds. I switched it over to 30 seconds, and this doesn’t necessarily mean it will run the full 30 as the recording will stop when movement is no longer detected. The next thing I changed was the Motion Zones under motion settings. This may go a long way for many in terms of battery life as you can target the specific areas of the view that you care about the most. In my case, I only care about what’s on my driveway and can ignore the cars passing through my street. Camera detection has been great with the updates I made above. It’s great to see the clips generated, and they are quite clear for a 1080p image. With Blink Plus, a cool feature called Blink Moments takes various related captures and bundles it into a single packaged video. It’s kind of like a summary of things happening. I was able to see a video of a car pulling up to the driveway followed by another video of people exiting the car, then finally yet another video closing out the movement of someone walking away from the car from the far side. Super cool. One complaint? I had some trouble mounting the camera to the mount. It’s a snap-on snap-off situation, and if you don’t line it up quite right, it just doesn’t want to fully latch securely. A few attempts at it and I was finally able to get it to securely snap into place. I felt like I was pushing with a ton of force to get it to snap into place and it was actually a bit unnerving. I docked a star off for that. So what’s potentially not cool?? The pay-to-play paradigm of attaining features like Blink Moments as well as access to a cloud in general. Nothing is free anymore and cloud storage does come at a premium in any aspect, so penalizing Blink for doing this is a natural feeling, but kind of unfair to Blink. As a matter of fact, I feel like their pricing is more than reasonable with respect to other manufacturers. It is for those who want a fast and easy DIY way to set up home monitoring. This is probably one the easiest I’ve worked with thus far and if you’re okay with a monthly service, I would recommend this system. If you’re already into the Amazon ecosystem with Alexa and Echo Shows, then it’s only natural to go this route due to the integration between Blink and Amazon devices.

**OVERALL** The Blink Outdoor 4 is a compact, wireless outdoor, user-friendly security system offering high-quality video that's quick and easy to set up for an affordable price of $100. That being said, I'm typically not a fan of these systems, but for the purpose of this review, we'll scrap all that for an unbiased look at these. For those unaware, these systems are cloud first subscription serviced with limited functionality without a subscription. Separate modules can be purchased for local functionality but that'll be detailed below. On the surface, these units have a good build quality but a semi annoying mounting bracket that may fool you into believing you'll break the mounts during assembly. One of the key benefits of the Blink system is the scalability, allowing you to add multiple cameras and Modules to monitor multiple properties/locations with minimum effort. The system offers cloud storage through a Blink subscription which can cover up to 10 devices at a rate of $100/yr. For a single, that comes down to $30/yr. The Outdoor 4 is powered by a pair of AA batteries; more specifically Energizer Lithium with an estimated runtime of 2-years. **Pros:** * Quick and easy setup * Scalable system for monitoring multiple locations * Convenient cloud storage solution through Blink Subscription * 2-year battery life **Cons:** * finicky mount to attach that may feel fragile * Third-party mounts may be necessary for better performance/positioning * Limited functionality without subscription **FEATURES** To access most of the features of the Blink Outdoor 4 system, you'll need to purchase a subscription plan or opt for a one-time purchase of the Sync Module 2 with a USB port for local storage. The Plus subscription plan costs $100 per year for up to 10 devices or $30 per year for Basic and one device. If you choose to go with local storage, the Sync Module 2 costs $50. With a sub, the Outdoor 4 offers motion detection, person detection and vehicle detection. Without it you get motion detection notifications only. Blink moments gets bundled with the Plus sub only, which stitches multiple recordings to form a semi cohesive playback of events that triggered 1 or more cameras within 45 seconds of each other and within the same system. Motion detection seems accurate with the only mix-ups I've noticed is vehicle detection being triggered as motion detection. I mostly blame my setup for that. Night vision is acceptable but suffers with range. Adding the battery extension will give you an absurd operation time of 4 years on the camera. A USB port is optional to wire a permanent power solution or solar panel. **LOCAL STORAGE OPTION:** * Sync Module 2 with USB port: $50 * Local storage option for stored clips. **ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:** * Solar options available for outdoor cameras * Blink Outdoor 4 Battery Extension for up to 4 years runtime **ISSUES** On day 2 of ownership, before placing outdoors. I propped the camera up on a shelf until I had the chance to mount it somewhere outdoors. This left it between 10'-15' from the sync module. Upon checking up in the Blink app, I realized the camera was not responding. Checking the camera itself I could tell it was powered so I moved it closer to the sync module. With no improvement after a few minutes I tried disconnecting the sync module and forcing a restart. After a few minutes, both were back to the same state. The app reports that the sync module is back and connected to a strong WiFi but no improvement from the camera. I figured the last option was a reset from the camera side. After pulling out the batteries and waiting a few minutes to boot back up, the app began detecting the camera. A few days later, after placing the camera outdoors propped on the first ring I could find, the same issue occurred. The only difference, leaving it alone for a day resulted in the camera coming back. The sync module was already at about 15' from the camera outdoors and no change was made with it so I can't figure out what was the issue but this reliability issue would nerf the need of a camera in the first place. Certain weather situations, cold and high humidity, seems to fog up the lens without meant other environmental factors. So much that any light source distorts it's vision enough to make it unreliable. Overall, the Blink system is easy to use and convenient, making it a great option for those looking for a simple and effective home security solution. However, random disconnects and a housing that may generate more glare/haze than similar products gets it docked a bit.

I was looking for a small outdoor camera for my back door facing the garage. I did not have a big space to mount a large camera. The Blink 4 Outdoor Wireless camera is perfect! It is small, and it fits perfectly in a narrow area that I needed it. The Box includes – Outdoor 4 camera, 2 AA lithium batteries, Blink Sync Module Core, USB-C/USB-A charge cable (for the Sync module), Power adapter, mounting kit, and quick start guide. The 2 AA lithium batteries are supposed to last for approximately 2 years, depending on the camera settings. The Lithium batteries are replaceable. Just unscrew the back of the Blink Camera, insert the batteries and your good to go. The Blink 4 outdoor camera specs: - Full HD With 143-degree field of view - 1920x1080 resolution gives a noticeably clear picture anytime of the day or night. - WiFi 2.4ghz connected to the Sync Module Core (included) - Sync Module Core can be placed anywhere and plugged into an outlet to connect to the camera (should be placed as close as possible) The Sync Module is only about 3” long and easily connects to the camera using your home Wireless router (uses 2.4 band only). - The Audio Can both send and receive (2-way audio). It is not bad, depending on where you put the camera, makes the difference on what and how you can speak and hear. To set up the Blink 4 Outdoor camera you need to download the Blink App to your smartphone. The rest of the setup is done through the app. The instructions are extremely easy to follow as the app gives you step-by-step instructions. The Camera comes with a mounting kit that has the mount, screws, and instruction on how to mount the camera. The mount attaches easily to the house and camera just snaps into place. The Blink App on my android is easy to follow and has all the necessary functions needed to operate the camera. The Blink 4 outdoor camera comes with the Blink Plus Plan Trial for 30 days. After that you can either choose a basic plan for less than a cup of coffee a month, which covers only one camera, keep the Plus Plan and pay more for unlimited cameras, or no plan. - No Plan – Motion activated notifications.  Extended live view up to 5 minutes - Basic Plan - Included with this plan: Unlimited cloud storage for up to 60 days Motion-activated notifications AI-powered person and vehicle detection* extended live view** Motion event recording Live view recording Instant video access Effortless video sharing Photo capture - Blink Plus Plan: - includes all Basic plan Plus the following: Number of devices supported. Blink Moments Snooze notifications 10% off Blink devices Extended warranty coverage Choosing which plan or no plan is best for you is easy to do on the Blink website. If you do not have any cloud storage plans, you can always just download the videos to your smartphone and transfer the videos to your PC later. The Blink 4 Outdoor Camera can also be attached to a solar mount (sold separately). With the solar mount, the batteries are not necessary. SUMMARY PROS: The Blink 4 Camera is lightweight, fits in the palm of your hand and the videos are excellent. There is no need to be super tech savvy. The setup and operation guide instructions are easy to follow. The 2 AA Lithium batteries are easily replaced when needed. Just make sure that the batteries are AA Lithium, non-rechargeable. CONS: The Sync Module Core that’s included does not have any storage capabilities. It is only used to connect Blink 4 to WiFi. If you want to add Micro SD storage, you need to purchase the Sync Module XR sold separately. The Sync Module XR can store up to 256gb on a Micro SD card. The Blink 4 Outdoor camera videos can only be accessed on phone or tablet (with the Blink APP). There is no way to view videos online. Overall, the Blink 4 outdoor Camera with the Sync Module Core, is a nice little camera that records clear videos both day and night. I recommend the Blink 4 Outdoor Camera for its compact size, picture quality, and ease of use.

What got me excited Blink is a well known brand, I’ve been looking for an extra outdoor camera, and since this system doesn’t require a subscription of any kind, sign me up! What I’m expecting I’m expecting it to be a fairly easy setup and installation. What’s included in the packaging? In the box you get the sync module, the camera, USB A to USB C cable, a AC power brick, 2 types of mounts, screws, 2 AA batteries, and a quick start guide. Let’s try it out First off I had to download the app and create an account. I don’t have any blink items, so I created one from scratch. From there the sync module is plugged in and you set it up via the app. There’s a QR code on the back of the module, so it was an easy set up. Once you crate an account and a system, now you can add the camera. It comes with 2 AA batteries which apparently will last roughly 2 years. If that’s true, that’s not bad. Once it’s set up and you verify it by testing it, now it’s time to mount it. You have two options on mounting it. You want to screw in the mount first before combining the camera and the mount. And that is that. The camera quality has three settings, and the default one looks okay, but gets a little grainy sometimes. You can opt for the best one, but you will be sacrificing battery life, so the choice is yours. The camera also has a mic so you can hear what’s going on. The app is straight forward. You can check your battery life, see network strength, the camera’s temperature. (This one I understand but don’t. What’s the temp at which it will fail?) You can adjust motion detection and sensitivity, and a few other minor options. My first impressions The camera is bulkier than I thought it would be. The quick start guide is pretty useless. All it has is a QR code that takes you to a site where it has a guide for set up. I wish it also had a QR code for the app. There are so many fake apps out there, that I wish companies would just provide a QR code for the genuine app. What stood out that was positive The fact that you don’t have to pay a subscription fee of any kind is a win! The fact that it has motion detection is also a win. The thing that I was most surprised by was how good the night vision was. In my test, the night vision sometimes looked better than the daytime quality. What stood out that was negative The mounts feel cheap and I wish they attached better. Who is this targeted at? I would say that it’s targeted at anybody who needs an outdoor camera and doesn’t want to pay a subscription fee. All in all It’s a nice little bulky camera that offers pretty decent video quality, as well as audio. The build feels solid, except for the mounts. I wish the setup were simpler, but it is what it is. So far I haven’t had any issues with it.
