- Does it need a subscription?
- Live view and alerts work without one, but saved clips need a Blink subscription. Without it you cannot review past footage.
- How long do the batteries last?
- Blink claims up to two years on AA batteries. Heavy motion traffic and frequent live viewing shorten that considerably.
- Does it work with Alexa?
- Yes. You can view the feed on Echo Show screens and use voice commands. It does not work with Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
- Can it store video locally?
- No. The Outdoor 4 records to the cloud only, so there is no microSD or local drive option.
- What is in the box?
- Five cameras, five mounts, mounting hardware and AA batteries. A Sync Module is not included and is needed for the full system.
- Is it better than the Outdoor 3?
- The Outdoor 4 adds a wider field of view, better person detection and improved low-light video. It is a modest upgrade, not a leap.
