Product Information

When we first got our hands on the Blink Outdoor camera, we noticed it was definitely sleeker and nicer to look at than the Blink XT2, one of Blink’s old-generation products. The Blink XT2 was actually quite similar to the Blink Outdoor – it was battery-powered and it’s designed for outdoor use. Overall, the Blink Outdoor camera is a solid performer with the IR night vision being its biggest weakness. Electronic interference from appliances or physical obstruction, such as brick walls, metal frames and floors, can reduce the wireless range. The panel contains a photo button for taking snapshots and a video camera button that launches a live video stream.

Included in the box with the camera itself is Blink’s Sync Module 2 that facilitates a connection between your Wi-Fi and Blink’s servers. Person detection on a security camera is helpful to reduce unwanted alerts by providing the option to be notified only if someone is outside your property, not just something like a cat walking past or a tree blowing in the wind.On paper, the Blink Outdoor 4 camera doesn’t appear to have any major upgrades when it comes to video quality.

The wire-free nature of the Blink Outdoor contributes greatly in keeping the setup and installation process easy and straightforward. Behind the removable back panel is the battery compartment for the two included AA batteries, which are rated to last up to two years depending on use and video settings. The Motion Settings menu lets you adjust motion detection sensitivity, choose a recording type (all motion or person-only), create motion zones, and configure a retrigger time for how long after a motion event the camera will begin detecting motion again (between 10 and 60 seconds).Many of them were apparently false alerts, suggesting that motion and person detection need more refinement. It's as easy to install as ever, and continues to offer long battery life and reliable Alexa voice control support. Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera is wire-free and is also available as an accessory mount for your existing Outdoor 4 camera. I installed the two batteries, used my phone to scan the QR code on the inside of the battery compartment, and added the camera to the system.

The front of the enclosure holds the camera lens, two passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors, a microphone, and an infrared LED for black-and-white night vision. It’s always amazed me how you can own and use a product on a daily basis and never have a single complaint about how it looks or works, but the moment a new version is announced, it suddenly looks old and outdated and doesn’t do everything you want it to do. Next, we used the camera tool that came in the package to take the back off of the Blink Outdoor camera. Other settings let you adjust the audio volume and set up privacy zones to restrict recording coverage in certain areas of your yard. Like last generation, it provides up to two years of battery life, is a cinch to install, delivers reasonably sharp 1080p video, and works with Alexa voice commands.All goods paid for by credit card or debit card do not incur any additional charges, please feel free to contact our sales office to arrange preferred payment method.

For the last few years, when people have asked me if they should get a Blink Outdoor camera, I’ve tried to steer them away from them due to low video and picture quality.

Blink camera systems proide an in-home security network that operates wirelessly via Wi-Fi and includes a HD video feed. This is a byproduct of recording at a low frame rate and is common across most home security cameras.

But the Wyze Cam doesn’t offer two years of battery life; higher resolution would likely mean shorter battery life.
