Blink Outdoor 4 Camera Review: Cheap And Wireless With A Shocking Battery Boast - SlashGear

Blink's latest outdoor security camera makes installation easy, but it's the Amazon-owned company's big battery life boasts that set it apart from rivals.

Extremely versatile ; Two year battery life is impressive (if it's real) ; Solid build quality on the camera ; App is straightforward

Camera accessories have questionable durability ; MicroUSB in 2023 ; No continuous recording capability

Blink Outdoor 4 review: A strong home security value

With the introduction of the Blink Outdoor 4, Amazon-owned Blink continues its battle with Wyze Labs to offer the best budget-priced home security cameras. This all-new and incredibly compact camera comes close to besting the Wyze Cam v3 Pro by virtue...

Very long battery life Sync Module 2 can host a USB drive for local video storage Image processing is performed on the camera, not in the cloud

Resolution limited to 1080p No pet, package, or vehicle detection; person detection still in beta Subscription required to unlock many features, including person detection

The Blink Outdoor 4 is a solid budget-priced outdoor security camera with amazingly long battery and excellent privacy protection. It’s very easy to set up and use on a day-to-day basis, and its small size allows it to fit almost anywhere.

Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera review: Good but not great unless you pay

The camera and floodlight are a nice combo at a reasonable price, but unless you fork over monthly or buy a sync module, the experience is limited. A solid product itself, but it's held back by a subscription

Blink Outdoor 4 review: The best cheap outdoor security camera

Blink's newest outdoor security camera now comes with a wider field of view and person detection.

However, nighttime image quality isn’t as good as more expensive models from Nest and Arlo, which is to be expected. And, there are still some other limitations, such as the fact that videos are capped at 60 seconds, and you need to subscribe to Blink...

Blink Outdoor 4 security camera: Svelte design, better video, but too many alerts

Blink Outdoor 4 review: affordable, beginner-friendly home security that gets the job done

An easy to use UI and a jaw-dropping battery life make it perfect for a first-time home security camera user

No cables required ; Two-year battery life ; Easy user interface

Many features require subscription ; Resolution and breadth of features may be unsatisfying ; Limited customization

The Blink Outdoor 4 is a low-cost security camera capable of outdoor use. It offers a bunch of useful base features, including two-way audio, a 1080p resolution and a two year battery life. Though its price is quite attractive, it’s likely not a good...
