Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Blink outdoor 4 system is a great starter kit for you when you are ready to give video monitoring at home a try. This is your jump start to explore wireless camera systems that are battery operated at 1080p HD and has a fairly good range of 250ft to 400ft due to the Sync Module XR. You'll receive a trial period for the enhanced security features of the system which is supported by Amazon. Off the bat I do love the Sync Module XR for its slim and cute design. It is nearly the size of a tin of mints or a card wallet and uses a USB-C cord for power which is included with the device as well as the power block. The design is pleasing because it is has a white matte finish which will blend with your home easily. On the other hand although the cameras are slim and aesthetically pleasing I can't get passed the video quality and the hardware to mount the cameras. The video quality is exactly 1080p and a little more grainy than I thought I would see. I have a current system where the video is 2K so I am having trouble fully letting it go. There is a disadvantage to being battery powered when it is not rechargeable. Lastly, the mounts are easy to remove. Meaning, someone could just simply reach up and pull the camera off the mount and render my system useless. I don't anticipate that happening but I do also have birds that perch on my patios and have historically chosen my cameras to sit on. I have this feeling that the Blink camera would fall off. I am working on finding the right spot to mount them. In summary, the Blink Outdoor 4 system is great for your first time venturing into security systems, a college apartment, townhome or small property. Do not expect state of the art features but know you'll have a system that works to detect movement, with advance subscription services you will have access to more enhancements, it is easy to set up, no hardwiring or altering your homes electrical system and it's a great compact system. The compact and smaller system is what drew me to the Blink Outdoor 4 and I know you'll be just as pleased.

Very compact and easy to set-up...the view from the cameras are decent. Get kicked out often and have to keep clicking on tab to get picture back up. That doesn't happen much on my Ring cameras.

Upon unboxing the cameras, I put in the included double-A batteries and charged both with USB-C. On the box is a QR code that takes you to a website guide. Although it's like setting up any other smart device. Download the app. Scan the QR code of the product to pair with the app. Connect it to your WiFi. Pretty standard stuff. The included hardware is great too. The camera has a wide FOV, so even if it's not pointed at the coverage area, it will still be able to capture it. There is a pretty thick plug to protect the USB port from the elements. I will still most likely opt for a 90-degree mount and a waterproof case, regardless. My biggest issue is the live feed from the devices. For some backstory, I have a 1 gig internet plan. In the areas where I put the cameras, my phone shows a WiFi signal of 2 bars. Never had Wifi issues with my phone where the cameras are. One camera has to try connecting to my network through two walls, and the other has to connect through three. I also have a lot of smart devices. I'm using a lot of devices on the 2.4GHz connection (bulbs, vacuums, other cameras, TVs, etc.). I was excited about the included Sync Module. It seemed you could choose either Wifi connection or connect to the module. You can. Unfortunately, the connection on the sync module is always poor. It always shows one bar for me. It was fine when the cameras were in the same room as it. But once you put one wall between it, the signal is terrible. If you try loading the live feed of the camera, good luck. It will show that it is trying to load and will eventually time out. The cameras might have luck in an environment with a long line of sight and less noise. I opted for the Wifi mode, but sometimes it will also fail to connect. To note, neither of the cameras is more than 50 feet from the device. I still get notifications that motion has been detected, but I worry now if there are minutes or hours where it struggles to connect, will it still notify me of motion? My second biggest issue is the exposure on the cameras. I will attach photos in this review. I am going to cut out my license plate and the street view from the screenshots for privacy. So they won't be full screenshots. In one screenshot, there is a cat that walks along the sidewalk. The camera never detected it. Another brand of camera motion detected the cat, so I pulled up how it looks on my Blink. It makes sense that it could not see the black cat. It over-exposes the image, and most of my sidewalk is pitch-black. In the second screenshot, I am stepping out of my car. The bottom half is pitch black. I have a toolbox there. In some screenshots, you can see the toolbox, but in most instances, like this one, you cannot due to the exposure. So again, I worry, because of these dark areas, how many moments will it not notify me of motion? I recommend that you do your research. These cameras are not for someone like me. You will need to be away from the city. You need long lines of sight with minimal obstacles. You will need to have lights on in areas where it can get dark.

We purchased what has been the best home video monitoring system we’ve ever had. We had Arlo previously, but those needed charging frequently. These have easily attainable lithium batteries that last up to 2 years, have quick instant monitoring, long range, and fantastic resolution/clarity. Highly recommend these!

I must say Blink did it right with these cameras. Video quality is great, connecting the cameras was easy, they even included the mounting brackets for inside the home or outside. I will be adding additional cameras in the near future.

The extend range sync module allows me to but camera further out on my property, and is a better connection to WiFi. The new camera to me have a better picture quality and more options which was a no brainer to replace older cameras.

Good quality and so easy to set up. Six cameras is so nice. I can capture everything.

Good quality video. App works fairly well. I have not tried the extended range yet that can be used for two of the cameras. Included instructions only refer to their website to find a useage guide. A QR code sends you right to the website, but not to the exact user manual for the model. You have to figure out what type of components you have and then hopefully find the corresponding instruction pdf.

Love these cameras, you can put a battery in and it will last well over a year. Video quality is not bad but for what you’re paying you can’t expect more.

I picked up the 6 pack for my service club's hall, as we needed cameras for the property. This set was on sale so the club said "go for it." My first impression: product is attractive and nicely packaged. All of the instructions seem to be online, so have your handy dandy internet devices ready. You'll install an app on your phone or tablet, and then you can start setting up the sync device and cameras. Setting up the sync device / range extender took a few tries, but wasn't hard to do. Adding each camera was also pretty easy. I did find that only 2 of the cameras are allowed to connect to the range extender, and the rest need to be running directly off of the wifi. I did not expect this, so be aware. Our wifi isn't the strongest, which may explain the lag in the video feed. Not a deal breaker for us. The microphones on each camera picked up sound pretty well, and I'm still playing around with the settings. There is a subscription that goes with this set, and it looks like I'm on a free trial for now, so we'll see what the future brings. At the moment, the cameras are meeting our needs, so that's fine by me.

Great picture and color. Easy to install and set up.

We purchased the Blink System plus 2 extra Outdoor Cameras for our home. They were easy to install and connect. We can clearly see our outdoor and garage area even at night. We did not need the doorbell or any inside cameras at this time, but might consider an indoor camera in the future. We did hardwire the garage camera since it was easy to reach an outlet used by the garage door. This will allow us to save any battery replacements for a while. It has only been installed since mid August, so we are unclear how often we will need to replace the batteries, but it should be easy to do. The help from our Best Buy Rep was invaluable.

I recently installed the Blink - Outdoor 4 XR security cameras and am thoroughly impressed with their performance. These cameras have proven to be reliable and effective in enhancing the security of my property. The image quality is excellent, providing clear and detailed footage both during the day and at night. The motion detection feature works seamlessly, alerting me promptly whenever there’s activity in the monitored areas, giving me peace of mind. The setup process was straightforward, which I greatly appreciated. I was able to get everything up and running in no time. There were only one or two minor issues during the installation, but the FAQ page was incredibly helpful in resolving them quickly. Overall, I highly recommend the Blink - Outdoor 4 XR security cameras to anyone looking to enhance their home security. They are user-friendly, effective, and provide great value for the investment. If you're considering adding a layer of protection to your property, these cameras are definitely worth it!

So far I really like these cameras the picture is great and the ability to get them as far as they are is Awsome... I already have a wired system but wanted something wireless for the farther distant spots my other cameras can't see... also the deal at 164.99 was Awsome...only one major aggravation when trying to first get the XR module connected to the app it was a nightmare.... I tried over 20 times with resetting it but kept getting a bad data error I almost boxed the whole thing back up twice and almost took it back...... but after restarting my phone and deleting and reinstalling the app it finally connected to the app....

This is a good bundle. HD is the max quality that you get on these, so you are getting what you pay for, but they do the job and may be good for most. So keep that in mind before buying.

The Blink - Outdoor 4 XR — Wireless security camera is indeed a very good device. Can be configured to suit your needs. However the problem comes once your basic subscription ends. At that point you need a MicroSD card to save and view your recorded videos. That in itself is not a problem. But if you have an earlier version of Blink cameras you view playback of those cameras on “legacy storage“ and the new cameras are on local storage. I all appears to on the Micro SD card but just compartmented separately. I still think it is a great camera system!

Works as expected, The sync module XR is especially helpful with its increased range and Micro SD support making local storage easier than the previous model. Blink app is easy enough to use.

Sync module XR main reason for purchase everything works great haven't tested extended range yet camera quality good great value I would recommend bundle

I purchased these when they went on sale and wow. These cameras are amazing. The distance they can reach is shocking and the clarity is amazing, at night these things have such a good sensor that it nearly looks like day light outside! The battery life isn’t close to what they list it at if you are in a high traffic area like I am since I live in the city. BUT you can hard wire them as well, so with that said 5/5.. grab them while there's a sale/holiday

I needed a wireless camera for my gate which is fairly far from my router. The regular blink did not reach that far. I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent view.
