Customer Ratings & Reviews

Terrible system. It's mostly offline. Purchased in 7/25 and had to replace the batteries in one of the cameras already. Live view doesn't work. Wish I returned them right away.

Camera goes offline daily, I have to constantly take the batteries out and restart

They will not stay connected . I will be returning

never got delivered!! they sent a picture thats nowhere on the delivery address, and according to best buy since their tiny timeframe has past there is nothing they can do. (as outrages as that sounds thats exactly what happened)

I was not a fan of these cameras. At first, I thought they would be a good addition to my system. However, the back of the camera fell off, and that is the main part that ensures that the camera is mounted correctly.

You have to pay a subscription and only records 5 seconds

Battery lasted only 3 days,and one of the 3 bundle that I bought before,it’s not working anymore,all of them battery didn’t lasted a year.

I told your sales associate what I needed for, she had no clue to tell me if it's gonna work or not, she just made the sales, that's all she cared

The camera came with no instructions except to download the Blink app. When i downloaded the app my computer got a virus and it had to be brought in for service.

Would never recommend this product. First of all the sales girl knew nothing about it but pretended she did so I got wrong information. These cameras are ok at times but they are fixed and the battery runs out much much faster than they say.

One camera is Miss from the package and I did request for replacement but couldn’t get any response

not valuable. for the price i paid for it,better buy something else.

My collection of blink devices keeps growing. This is the first Outdoor 4 wireless camera I am adding. In order to use a wireless camera, you must have a sync module. They can not be used on wifi alone like Blink wired cameras. Therefore, it is nice that this comes with one, because it allows you to add it to your system if you don’t already have one. However, there is something important about the sync module that is provided here, It has no local storage. I already had a Sync Module 2 that came with my Blink doorbell. Prior to getting the Sync Module 2, I had a Blink subscription which allows video clips and such to be stored on the cloud. After getting the Sync Module 2 though, I found I was able to store video clips to the module, and I didn’t really need the other features the subscription offered, so I cancelled it. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the subscription, and I thought it was worth the monthly cost, but my situation changed to where I didn’t really need all it had to offer, and the Sync Module 2, with local storage, met my needs. I first took this Outdoor 4 camera, and connected it to my existing Sync Module 2. It took almost no time at all. You just scan the barcode on the camera with the Blink app on your phone, install the included batteries, and confirm which network you want to add it to. Then, I decided to add the included sync module to my network. This was easy as well, but in doing so, it removed my Sync Module 2. You can apparently have only one sync module on your network at a time. I didn’t figure this was a problem and I had other plans for my Sync Module 2. I wanted to make sure the local storage option was working, because I did have trouble getting it to work at first with the Sync Module 2, but couldn’t find the option. That was when I finally realized this Sync module has no local storage option. It is called the Sync Module Core. So, all it does is allow you to add wireless cameras like the Outdoor 4 to your network, but it has no local storage. In order to have that, in order to allow the storage of camera clips, you have to pay for a subscription. I think this means the core is really only included for people who are getting a wireless blink camera, which won’t work with their wifi, and they don’t already have a sync module. Since it doesn't have local storage, I wouldn’t actually recommend this package for anyone unless you know you really plan on having the monthly subscription, or are fine with only being able to connect to the camera and view it in real time. If neither of those are your use case, you would be better off to buy the camera separately and then buy a Sync Model 2, which uses USB flash drives, or a Sync Module XR, which uses SD cards. If you do indeed know that you plan to always have a subscription, then this should work fine for you, but if you ever change your mind, just be aware, you will need to buy a different Sync module. All of my other cameras are either in my house, or attached to my house facing away, because they need power. This wireless option just opens a whole new world of possibilities. I got this to keep an eye on my back fenceline on a 1 acre lot, where someone keeps throwing yard waste over my fence and into my yard. I don’t usually know when it happens and may not notice it until long after it has. Now, I will get a notification in real time when it happens, and I will have a recording of it. The camera is subtle too. Barely noticeable where I placed it in my back yard. There are so many other things you could use it for and I see myself getting more. You could put it on the back of your mailbox post facing your house to have a view of your driveway and the exterior of your house. You could put it on your mailbox post facing the other way, or even inside your mailbox to get a notification when your mail is delivered. You could point it at a birdhouse, a feeder, or a nest. Where I placed it is quite far from my house, and it seems to work fine. The picture is also nice and clear. If you do go with the subscription, they also have filters you can use to prevent false alarms. For example, you can set it to only activate when it detects a person, or a car. This doesn’t work without the monthly subscription though. If you do have need for such features, a subscription is well worth it, but even then, having a sync module with storage is still good to have, because cloud based clips are subject to deletion, and your clips can be backed up to your sync module with local storage so they won’t get deleted. I am a fan of the entire Blink ecosystem. I am very satisfied with this camera. My only reservation would be to caution that this package offering is really intended for people who plan on having the Blink subscription. What is here is still 5 stars for what it does. It would have been better, in my opinion, with a sync module that supported local storage, like the one that came with my doorbell. As I think it could be better, and I can't really think of why you would need a sync module without local storage, I would dock this half a star. As I don't have that option, I am going to cut one star, because it could be better with a different sync module.

It is almost impossible to install on my cell phone. I called and they didn't solve anything for me. The best thing I did was return them and buy another brand.

Awful picture quality compared to others by the same company. The others are great!

Still waiting… ordered early august and still nothing.

Safety and home security go hand in hand. I like to keep an eye on my home and am like to try the latest in home video security cameras. This isn't the first time I try Blink security cameras, so I am somewhat familiar with the Blink camera concept. To start, the Blink - Outdoor 4 – Wireless smart security camera is really small. So, it is discreet and easy to hide from intruders. This is an added bonus. Another new update for the Blink system is the new much smaller and more ellegant looking sync module. It's no longer the bulky square block that took up a large portion of your electrical outlet. The only downside to this is that there is no way to mount it to a wall. A bit double-faced tape solved that issue though. But, this is my only issue with the Blink - Outdoor 4 – Wireless smart security camera. Aside from that, the Blink - Outdoor 4 – Wireless smart security camera is battery powered. It comes with two lithium AA batteries. So, this means that you will have to configure your camera settings accordingly if you expect to get good battery life. So far, it has been holding up since I mounted it about one week ago. The mounting process is relatively straight forward. Just about anyone can do it. Two screws, pop the camera into the mount, and you are pretty much done. As for the wifi connection process, anybody can do that. Overall, the Blink - Outdoor 4 – Wireless smart security camera is a great way to keep those smaller outside areas of the house secure.

Battery keeps saying they are dead even when I put new ones in!

I have been using a Blink system at my house for years now and this camera is a great addition. Similar to other Blink devices, this camera is powered by lithium batteries that last a good year or two. (Blink states they last for two years, but the frequency with which the camera is used, in addition to the temperature of the environment can have an impact. Regardless, the app does notify when the batteries are running low and there is plenty of time to replace them before they finally die out.) I have been replacing older generation cameras with these updated outdoor 4 cameras and have been happy with the results. This camera has enhanced motion detection, the ability to detect people (although that requires a Blink subscription plan), and allows for two-way communication through the smartphone app. I was originally concerned that the included mount for the camera would not stay in place (or work very well), but I stand corrected on that concern. The mount is simple and allows for a full range of motion when setting up the camera. Lastly, I have this camera outside and it handles the elements without any problems. The camera itself supports up to 1080p resolution, which I obviously not 4K. Then again, the bandwidth and, I suspect, battery power required to capture at such a high resolution would probably undermine some of the benefits of the camera (namely, its battery life). Ultimately, if purchasing a new Blink system or looking to upgrade older generation cameras, this Blink Outdoor 4 camera is worth the cost.

Great camera! I’ve been using the Blink Outdoor 4 for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really pleased with how easy and reliable it’s been. Right out of the box, setup was a breeze—the Sync Module Core got things up and running quickly, and pairing it with the app was smooth. The 1080p video quality is solid during the day, and surprisingly clear at night, which gives me peace of mind when I’m checking in on the house after dark. I love how compact and low-profile the camera is—it blends in without looking bulky or drawing attention. The motion detection is responsive but not overly sensitive, so I’m not bombarded with alerts every time a squirrel passes by. The real cherry on top is the two-year battery life, which means one less thing to constantly worry about. For a simple, no-nonsense outdoor security option that still packs useful features, this camera is a win in my book. It’s just nice knowing it’s there, quietly doing its job. Overall, a great camera at the right price point. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
