Easy to install. Right angle adapter fits too loose to be useful. Night vision could be better. Had to turn sensitivity up so we’ll see how battery life is affected.

When I purchased these cameras I thought for the price it was a good deal. I had read the reviews and I didn't see anyone having the problems I've been having. The cameras were easy to set up and all worked immediately. I installed then in the locations I wanted and was able to view all the cameras with no problems. After 2 days, the closest camera to the Sync Module and the WIFI quit working. The WIFI signa strength is at maximum for all cameras. I discovered I could make it work setting it up with Extended Range (XR). The next day, it quit working again and then all the cameras quit working. I deleted the cameras and re-installed and they all worked with the one XR. All cameras have been working for 3 days now. I get many recordings of no activity. I discovered the video starts recording about 5 seconds after the activity or motion is detected. Some motion is not detected at all. I have had 3 vehicles drive by and only the last vehicle is recorded as it is passing out of view. The delay to start recording a video is the biggest and most negative problem I haven't been able to resolve and there is no setting to make it quicker.

Good Morning RonH,
Thank you for your detailed feedback about the Blink Outdoor 4 XR cameras. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and understand your frustration with the connectivity issues and recording delays you've encountered.
The issues you've described, particularly the recording delay and missed motion events, are certainly not in line with our product's intended performance. While the XR system is designed to provide extended range coverage up to 400 feet, it should maintain stable connectivity once properly set up.
To address your specific concerns:
Regarding the connectivity issues: While the XR setup seems to have provided a temporary solution, we'd like to ensure this remains stable. The 5-second delay in recording and missed motion events are not typical and may indicate a need for adjustment or possible warranty service.
We would like to help resolve these issues. Please contact our technical support team at 1-800-280-4331. They can:
Run diagnostic tests on your system Help optimize your camera placement and settings Address any potential firmware updates that might help
Your feedback helps us improve our products, and we want to ensure you get the security coverage you expected when making this purchase.

Affordable option that still has value even without a subscription.
I like them so far, but app is pretty basic, Would love to see them self arm and allow for more control over notifications.

Very easy to set up with the app. Picture quality is good even at night. Not sure about battery life yet because i just set them up. Worth the wait for them to go on sale.

It came quickly and well packaged. Other blink cameras have worked well. The instructions and you-tube seem Ok. I have yet to install it, but this review request seemed to be pressing on Best Buy.

I bought the 2 pack, loved them so much and now I have a total of 10 blink cameras set up around my home. I love knowing exactly what’s going on outside of my home when I’m not home.

Good item. I have had a previous version, but the improvements are very nice. Looking for Blink to expand into other modules like some of the other security companies' items. Maybe water, temperature, or a contact sensor of that nature.

I was looking to upgrade my old system and my friend told me about the Blink system. I read through the detailed specifications and started with this purchase. It went well so i have since added 3 additional components.

These cameras work great and are a cost effective way to keep track of pets, house, property, etc. The app is easy to use and you can easily change camera settings remotely.
