What owners say
Owners of the Blink Outdoor 4 repeat two things: installation is effortless and the price is excellent, especially on sale. Many confirm the two-year battery rating for normal use, and they like the wide 143 degree view and the person detection that cuts false alerts, though that detection and the video history need a Blink subscription. Owners who use a plan praise how well it filters out wind and shadows to save battery. The complaints are that the bundled Sync Module Core removes local storage, that the camera is 1080p only with no color night vision, and that the system can lock up and go offline after a power blip or a firmware update, sometimes needing a full reinstall.
