- ManlyShopperGreat for the priceOverall, I am very happy with this product, especially considering what you get for the price. I was going to give it 4 stars because I had issues trying to add a module, which is the component that controls the cameras. I can only add a module immediately after restarting my phone. But the issue might be with my Samsung S22+ phone. Once the module is added, I had no issues adding cameras. The cameras look great and have no problems connecting to the module. I have 5 cameras downstairs and outside and the module is on the second floor. The cameras are easy to install. One gripe about the Blink app is that if I connect a 2nd module (i.e. the Sync Module 2), I cannot simply move cameras over to the 2nd module without deleting them from the first module, then re-connecting the manually to the 2nd module. I am currently playing around with the Sync Module 2 which allows you to record onto a flash drive. The picture quality is very good and the motion detection is accurate. The Blink app has a lot of customization options.
- JordanGreat little security camerasThis is a really nice outdoor camera. I put it up as a little security camera and to see the wildlife that cones into my yard. It was very easy to set up,bthe instructions were very easy to follow, and it connected right away to my wifi. I bought 4 cameras and they all connected and synced together perfectly. I am not the most tech savy person and I didn't have any trouble setting it up. The cameras capture very good videos and photos, the quality is very crisp and bright. It allowed me to see what happens outside my home night and day. The night ph9tos and video are just as clear as the day time photos. The night videos and photos are done in black and white. I have 2 cameras that I hung from my porch and they were easy to assemble and hang up, the other 2 u bought a pole and stuck them in the ground because I didn't have anything to hang them from, and they fit well on that too. I defiantly feel safer having them around my house.
- Mark Lee WebbExcellent ProductI am now using these outdoor wireless battery-operated cameras in addition to several Blink wired cameras and large floodlight cameras. Easy set up. Work flawlessly, as do all of our other Blink cameras. Highly recommended. Only downside - and specific to these wireless cameras - are the bases are EXTREMELY hard to fasten to the cameras. Nearly impossible. Take a lot of force. On one of them it absolutely would not push onto base after I screwed base to wall. So I had to remove base from wall, push base on camera by putting base on floor and pushing camera down as hard as I could, then pointing camera awkwardly from one side to other to re-screw into wall. For another one I bought an aftermarket housing for camera and I'll try that to see if it's easier. It's a slight Blink design flaw they should correct.
- T RobertsUpgraded to newer versionThe newer version of the blink outdoor cameras work really well. I had the older blink outdoor cams and decided to upgrade. I purchased the bundle of three cameras with the newer version of the blink doorbell. One of the cameras just stopped working about two weeks after I installed them. Did all the troubleshooting steps but it still doesn’t work or even turn on. Will contact blink support for assistance but think I may need a replacement for it. All other cams and the doorbell work great. The video is clearer and motion detection is better with the blink outdoor 4 cams. The blink doorbell now features full body view of people at door. Nice cameras and doorbell, very pleased either my purchase.
- pepChanged my mind and returned the Blink Outdoor 4I have 3 Blink systems at 3 houses utilizing 10 cameras. Two houses are just Mini 2 camera systems (doesn't need a sync module) and one house utilizes a sync module.
From my experience, it was very easy to install. The iPhone app is well thought out and fairly intuitive. The video quality is amazing compared to other systems I have seen. The range of the Outdoor 4 is amazing. It detects approaching vehicles over 200ft away - people over 100ft away.
The Blink system seems to be well thought out. I wish other companies did as well at making their products and apps work as well as Blink's.
HOWEVER, there is one major problem. Not a deal killer for me by any means, but a PIA when it happens. And you should be aware of this before you buy.
If you have a very quick power "blip" (1/2 second or so blink), it can crash the entire system. And it doesn't usually recover without intervention. If you have a Sync module, the problem can be severe from a time perspective.
For the Mini camera system without a Sync module, the fix usually involves unplugging the camera for about 5 seconds and then plugging it back in. It will usually restore and function just fine. While inconvenient, it doesn't eat up too much time.
But if a Sync module is in your setup, the fix is a lot more work. It won't recover by just unplugging. It acts as though the whole system got its brain scrambled.
The fix for a setup with a Sync module is to delete that entire system within the app and reinstall everything, starting with the Sync module. Fortunately Blink does make installing their components fairly pain free. But you will have to make adjustments to all your settings for all the components. That can eat up a bit of time.
For my system with 4 cameras and a Sync module (5 components), the whole process takes about an hour to get it back up and running, including changing all the settings to my preferences. Fairly straight forward, just time consuming.
Despite what technical support will tell you, that is the only way I have ever gotten a system with a Sync module back up and working after a power blip. I have used 2 systems with a Sync module and both required this intervention after a power blip.
A way to avoid this kind of problem is to have the cameras and Sync module plugged into a UPS. Two of my systems utilize a UPS to power the system. They seldom have issues.
The one system I cannot utilize a UPS needs regular attention from power blips and/or spikes, which are rather frequent. Previously that system only had Mini 2 cameras without a Sync module. When a problem occurred, didn't take very long to fix.
But when I added the Sync module to that setup to be able to use an Outdoor 4 camera, the fix became much more of a problem.
I did move the Sync module to a UPS and that has helped.
To eliminate the need for a Sync module to record events when using only Mini cameras, I switched to using Blink's online recording service. It is well worth the cost with the number of time consuming problems that eliminated and the ease with which it records and plays back events. I have all three houses recording online. Works really well.
But with the Outdoor 4, you have to have a Sync module (which came with the camera) even with online recording.
In my opinion, the Sync module is the weak link in the chain for what is otherwise a tremendous value for what the Outdoor 4 offers.
Would I recommend Blink? Absolutely!
Just probably not for a remote house that would be difficult to get to in the event of a power blip. You'd be off-line until you could intervene.
I have talked with folks with competing systems and their problems are much worse. And they usually paid much more than I did for my Blink systems.
Blink could make their product more bullet-proof if they could just get the system components where they could gracefully handle a power blip. It would be better to have the system go completely off-line when there's a power blip and reboot in 5 or 10 seconds than to have the entire system get locked up and off-line until there's manual intervention.
I just think it only fair that you know what you're getting in to. For the price, the quality of the video and how well it detects intrusion, I can accept a bit of aggravation. All my properties are local and easy to get to. For me, Blink is a good value.
UPDATE:
I finally had enough. The Outdoor 4 was too problematic.
In a nutshell, the camera worked fine until Blink pushed an update out to the sync module. Twice.
The last one was pushed out on 10/30 at 7:08pm. At 7:10pm, the entire property setup went down. No amount of trying to reboot the system worked. I thought everything was "bricked". And the sync module was plugged into a ups and was 4 ft. from the router.
All the other devices connected to wifi had any issue. So it wasn't my router, despite where Blink's technical support wanted to start with diagnosing the problem. They wanted me to disconnect everything connected to the router to see it that's where the problem lay! My telling them the problem was with their pushed update fell on deaf ears.
My other two systems that don't use a sync module kept working just fine and never had any issues.
So my recommendation now is to consider the Blink Mini cameras by themselves. They don't require a sync module and in my experience they work very well.
Don't use anything with a sync module.
