About this deal

If you already have a Blink setup and subscription plan then it makes sense to expand your setup with the Blink Outdoor, so that you can take advantage of the handy cloud storage options.

I replaced the battery cover and waited a minute for the camera to connect and go through a firmware update before taking it outside and mounting it on my backyard deck. Here you can also create motion zones, configure motion sensitivity settings, determine video clip length, configure video quality settings, enable/disable the microphone, edit Wi-Fi settings, and enable the Photo Capture feature. 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.Blink is a basic, affordable camera system with no ongoing running costs beyond the batteries, which makes it an attractive option for anyone looking to dip a toe into home security cameras. Once connected, the Blink Outdoor 4 appears on the app’s home screen in a panel that displays the camera's last captured still image. In my latest review of Reolink’s cameras, integrations were a bit easier thanks to a smart home tab in their mobile app. Use the Video and Photo Settings to configure the length of each video clip (between 5 and 60 seconds), select a video quality setting, enable night vision, and select an IR intensity level that adjusts the brightness of the infrared LED (High, Medium, Low) to control glare and supply more IR light when needed. We can’t confirm how quickly ‘typical use’ drains the battery because we’ve put the camera through heavy testing in a short period of time for this review.

That said, if you’re looking for slick features like activity zones, person detection, and facial recognition, Google Nest Cam review is another great place to look. The Blink Outdoor uses infrared night vision and is built to withstand the elements so you can feel confident that it’ll monitor and protect your home even during heavy rain and storms. Both Blink and Arlo have a number of handy features that can reduce the number of false-positive motion alerts you receive; such as assigning activity zones so you’re not notified unless motion is detected in these areas, and scheduling when the camera should be monitoring for motion and when it shouldn’t. Blink is far from the cheapest camera brand you’ll find out there, as the industry is brimming with low-cost cameras these days. Our extensive tests of a camera's video quality cover how it performs in daylight, in outdoor conditions (indoor cameras also go through this as some are placed on windowsills inside looking outwards), in low light such as dusk and then in full night vision mode.If you’re thinking of installing security cameras to monitor and protect your property, you’re not alone, almost 20% of US homes have a home security camera or video doorbell installed, according toa survey by YouGov. The HD video quality and motion detection were top-notch; night vision, however, isn’t as strong in Blink cameras as those in an Arlo camera system with full color night vision.
