Each 1080p Full HD camera works day or night, connects with the included sync module wirelessly, and is simple to set up. Pro Tip: Blink cameras work great for basic but reliable video monitoring, but if you want more advanced features — like Video Verification — you should read our SimpliSafe review.

On the side of the small box that makes up the Sync Module 2 is a full-sized USB port, just like what you’d see on the side of a laptop. All deliveries take between 3-10 working days from date of payment as long as we have all your details including your phone number.When I view recorded clips in the app and filter by those with a person detected, I see nothing but clip after clip after clip of a hammock blowing in the wind or a towel moving on a chair, each one labeled as a person being detected (both in the recording and in the original alert), but there was no person to be seen. Solid video performance: We appreciated the Blink Outdoor’s clear, 1080p HD video, although its field of view was a little more narrow than we needed at only 110 degrees diagonally; while we could see our stoop, we couldn’t see what was happening on our entire sidewalk. Stay connected to what’s happening inside and outside your home with the wire-free and weather-resistant Blink Outdoor security system. It’s part of the reason Blink products are able to squeeze up to two years of battery life out of two AA batteries in the camera itself. That means it’s protected from all directions from water (like rain) and is dust-tight, which is a good thing since we have a bad habit of forgetting to watch where we point the garden hose sometimes when watering the plants.

Narrow field of view: With no pan or tilt feature once it’s set in place, the Blink Outdoor’s 110 degree field of view isn’t great; normally we like our cameras to have fields of view of at least 120 degrees. Like all other Blink devices, the camera works with the Blink Home Monitor app (available for Android and iOS). com is a leading authority on technology, delivering lab-based, independent reviews of the latest products and services. E-manuals: Manufacturers often only include e-manuals with this type of appliance to reduce waste and minimise their carbon footprint.The idea of someone looking out our front window along with our outdoor cameras truly creeps us out, but Blink has addressed this issue with the new outdoor camera in the form of privacy zones. Other upgrades include dual motion zones to reduce false alerts and a design that’s similar to the Blink 3 but sleeker and more modern-looking. We got a lot more more motion alert notifications than expected from the Blink Outdoor 4 — too many to really be useful. Continue button: The Blink Outdoor camera can only live stream for five minutes at a time before starting a new stream, not to mention that we had to tap a “continue” button every 30 seconds even within that short, five minute timeframe.
