Blink Outdoor 4 – Wireless smart security camera, two-year battery life, 1080p HD day and infrared night live view, two-way talk. Sync Module Core included – 2 camera system

I purchased this on a good sale along with the sync module. I love that i can set it up almost anywhere on my property and have it work. I do really dislike Blinks subscription service, it feels so demanding and the unit becomes less functional without the subscription plan. Video, night vision, battery life, distance from sync module all good. You are punished if you try to view live video longer than 30 seconds with a huge reduction of battery life and a never ending nag screen. For constant video surveillance, this is not what you want. It is a lot cheaper on Amazons subsidiary store, I bought four more for a little more than what I paid for this one on sale.

I love these Blink camera and this was our 4th one. Setup is quick and easy for my husband and the picture quality is amazing, especially the night vision. You can see the quality in my posted pictures. In the night view picture you can see in the bottom left one of our nightly visitors, a raccoon. The motion alerts can be set to your desired sensitivity. I can check everything from my phone as soon as I’m alerted. I love that it’s wireless, so no drilling or having to deal with cords. We’ve never experienced a wireless connection issue. Your Blink app alerts you when you have high battery usage so you can adjust. It gives us peace of mind, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, reliable security system.

The Blink Outdoor 4 is a big upgrade from earlier models. Setup took just a few minutes, and the video quality is sharp and clear, both day and night. The two-way audio works great, and the motion detection is faster and more accurate than before. The battery life is amazing still going strong after months of use with the included lithium batteries. I also like the option to save clips locally or use cloud storage. Works perfectly with Alexa too! If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use, wireless security camera, the Outdoor 4 is absolutely worth it. Great picture, long battery life, and peace of mind.

I have 3 Blink systems at 3 houses utilizing 10 cameras. Two houses are just Mini 2 camera systems (doesn't need a sync module) and one house utilizes a sync module. From my experience, it was very easy to install. The iPhone app is well thought out and fairly intuitive. The video quality is amazing compared to other systems I have seen. The range of the Outdoor 4 is amazing. It detects approaching vehicles over 200ft away - people over 100ft away. The Blink system seems to be well thought out. I wish other companies did as well at making their products and apps work as well as Blink's. HOWEVER, there is one major problem. Not a deal killer for me by any means, but a PIA when it happens. And you should be aware of this before you buy. If you have a very quick power "blip" (1/2 second or so blink), it can crash the entire system. And it doesn't usually recover without intervention. If you have a Sync module, the problem can be severe from a time perspective. For the Mini camera system without a Sync module, the fix usually involves unplugging the camera for about 5 seconds and then plugging it back in. It will usually restore and function just fine. While inconvenient, it doesn't eat up too much time. But if a Sync module is in your setup, the fix is a lot more work. It won't recover by just unplugging. It acts as though the whole system got its brain scrambled. The fix for a setup with a Sync module is to delete that entire system within the app and reinstall everything, starting with the Sync module. Fortunately Blink does make installing their components fairly pain free. But you will have to make adjustments to all your settings for all the components. That can eat up a bit of time. For my system with 4 cameras and a Sync module (5 components), the whole process takes about an hour to get it back up and running, including changing all the settings to my preferences. Fairly straight forward, just time consuming. Despite what technical support will tell you, that is the only way I have ever gotten a system with a Sync module back up and working after a power blip. I have used 2 systems with a Sync module and both required this intervention after a power blip. A way to avoid this kind of problem is to have the cameras and Sync module plugged into a UPS. Two of my systems utilize a UPS to power the system. They seldom have issues. The one system I cannot utilize a UPS needs regular attention from power blips and/or spikes, which are rather frequent. Previously that system only had Mini 2 cameras without a Sync module. When a problem occurred, didn't take very long to fix. But when I added the Sync module to that setup to be able to use an Outdoor 4 camera, the fix became much more of a problem. I did move the Sync module to a UPS and that has helped. To eliminate the need for a Sync module to record events when using only Mini cameras, I switched to using Blink's online recording service. It is well worth the cost with the number of time consuming problems that eliminated and the ease with which it records and plays back events. I have all three houses recording online. Works really well. But with the Outdoor 4, you have to have a Sync module (which came with the camera) even with online recording. In my opinion, the Sync module is the weak link in the chain for what is otherwise a tremendous value for what the Outdoor 4 offers. Would I recommend Blink? Absolutely! Just probably not for a remote house that would be difficult to get to in the event of a power blip. You'd be off-line until you could intervene. I have talked with folks with competing systems and their problems are much worse. And they usually paid much more than I did for my Blink systems. Blink could make their product more bullet-proof if they could just get the system components where they could gracefully handle a power blip. It would be better to have the system go completely off-line when there's a power blip and reboot in 5 or 10 seconds than to have the entire system get locked up and off-line until there's manual intervention. I just think it only fair that you know what you're getting in to. For the price, the quality of the video and how well it detects intrusion, I can accept a bit of aggravation. All my properties are local and easy to get to. For me, Blink is a good value.

It’s great. The 1st one I got was working really great lvd it “ON TIME” notification and live on time no buffering. But I wanted to use my gift card so I got another one but this one was total 💩 the notification was delayed Called the blink ppl which was no help. So I got another one which I’m getting today hopefully it’s like the 1st one and it works. Bro the 2nd batch was total💩💩💩 motion detection is 💩 delayed but it was just that one other than that this is lit. With my sync module 2 it’s fireeeeeee yassssss. Easy setup & great sound as well nice n loud. But I’m crossing my finger plz the new one be like my 1st plzzzzzz UPDATE: I knewwwww it. The new one I just got them I hooked it up, Bro it’s so alert like my 1st one. I knew the 2nd one had problems. The Blink tech ppl be not that bright seriously ppl u don’t know ur own system. Well anyway this 💩 is fireeeeee. I can go live without waiting 4evr like before. So ppl if ur blink is not fast it’s either the net but if ur system says all bars r good than it’s the camera itself so just exchange it right away. B/c it’s supposed to work as fast as the wire ones should have no difference. Yayyyyyy🎊🎉 Update : Had issues with the return but was finally resolved today got a great representative to resolve them. Well check the advise above n ur good. For USB/ Sync module 2 info! 2025/Sept. I want to wait until the trial ends and see how the system works. Heard mixed reviews will update when it’s done and see how the live video and clips shows r seen. 2025/Oct. New Update: Since I did not want to pay subscription I got the usb Blink for storage. See the pics for info on how to make it work. Hope it helps I also got it from some else. Also sadly all USB clips will not SHOW pic PREVIEW.
