- Do I need a subscription to use the Blink Outdoor 4?
- No. You can record motion clips to a USB drive in the Sync Module and watch live view without a plan. Person detection and cloud storage need a Blink Subscription Plan.
- How long do the batteries really last?
- Blink rates them up to two years on two AA lithium batteries. Heavy live viewing and frequent alerts shorten that considerably; most owners see several months to over a year.
- Does it work with 5 GHz Wi-Fi?
- No. The cameras connect on 2.4 GHz only, so your router needs a 2.4 GHz band in range of the cameras.
- What is the Sync Module for?
- It connects the cameras to your Wi-Fi and holds a USB drive for local clip storage. One module supports multiple Blink cameras.
- Can it tell people from animals?
- Person detection is available but requires a subscription. Without it, the camera alerts on any motion in its zones.
- Is it weatherproof enough for rain and snow?
- It carries an IP65 rating and is rated from -4 to 113°F, so it handles rain and cold. It is not designed for submersion.
- Where is the Blink Outdoor 4 (4th Gen) 2 Camera System with Sync Module cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $89.99, as of our latest check.
