This a great addition to my Blink home system. I have a wired floodlight which is great. This new Blink Outdoor 4 gives me all the great features, and night vision that I expect from a wired camera but with the versatility of a battery operated camera.

Installing the battery was easy with the included tool to take the back off. You can see the a great weather tight seal when you put back on again. Adding it to my existing Blink system was just as easy as I've come to expect from blink products.

I set this up in my backyard to see what animals I could catch on tape. Being battery operated it was really easy to move around to different locations as long as I stayed in my wifi area. The motion detection worked great and with its default settings was just sensitive enough to pick up motion, but not trigger every time a blade of grass moved. The night video quality was also very good, I could see everything clearly in the frame. Overall this is a great product that I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Update: waited 24 hours and tried again and things are working much better. Configuration worked and not I'm testing. Much better.

Just unboxed and spent 3 hours trying to get the sync module to connect as required before adding the camera. Went through all of the troubleshooting steps. It seems like something half worked but other than blinking lights the device seems bricked. Ticket in to the help desk. It shouldn't be this hard. If I can't get it working tomorrow I'll return as faulty and try again although I'm not impressed with the user experience with multiple apps and logins so far. Amazon app plus blink app then linking to Alexa app and Amazon account. Seems like a half competed M&a and a bit of baling wire.

First I should clarify "pretty good but..." I gave it 4 stars because for me and my needs it isn't a five star. We purchased the 3 Camera system. Wanted to cover Garage/Driveway, Front Door/Porch & Rear Deck/Door. Like others have said the set-up & installation are not terribly difficult although anyone not tech savvy may have some issues. For me the negative points are the Motion Detection range and the camera mounting stems. With the motion detection setting at 9 (max) the distance for detecting motion is in the range of 8 feet. At the max setting you'll be warned about negative impact to battery. That range is a bit disappointing for me. The other negative is the mounting stem. If you mount the stem to a vertical wall you will not get 90 degrees of adjustment. Don't misunderstand. The wide angle lens will cover that area but the mounting stem is limited. I think 2 ball/sockets on the stem would give improved mounting flexibilities. So...the summary, 4 stars not 5 for me.

Edit: GEN 4 DID NOT CANCEL MY GRANFATHERED PLAN. These cams are a bit bigger, but not too bad. I am leaving my previous review below, but I was contacted and assured my plan is still good to go!

ORIGINAL 1 STAR REVIEW WITH WRONG INFO: I have had Blink cameras since they were just a kickstarter and waaaay before Amazon bought them. These are the first cameras I would highly recommend skipping. I was grandfathered into the cloud storage plan since I had an account and cameras before a plan was needed. I have added new cameras every generation and they were always included. Not Gen 4 apparently. Now they give me a free trial and I can pay for a plan if I want... I am not sure if this impacts all my other cams (19 and counting) but can say I was enraged and disgusted when I installed my first Gen 4. They are also bigger and thicker than the old ones. Not impressed... I can't beleive Amazon is doing this. Pure suck

Other than my Blink doorbell, this is my first home security camera product. Given that I already had a Blink system with a Sync Module 2 up and running, installing and setting up the video camera was easy. The build quality of the unit itself is very good, and although the plastic mount accessories aren't industrial-strength, they're adequate. I mounted the video camera outdoors under the eaves using three large 3M command strips, which holds the unit well.

The wide angle lens gives me a decent view of the front walkway and driveway, with reasonable resolution in both daylight and with night vision. I'd estimate motion sensing distance is around 20 feet or so, and this can be adjusted to some extent in the app. Note that the video camera does not trigger due to motion in the distance, e.g. a car moving on the street. The unit also features a built-in thermometer which can be set up to trigger an alert in the Blink app if this temperature is above or below a user-defined range.

I can't comment on battery life of the video camera because I haven't been using it long enough. In summary, this is a decent wireless video security camera at a reasonable price.
