- Does it need a subscription?
- No for live view and motion alerts. Cloud clip storage needs a Blink Subscription Plan; without it you can save clips to a USB drive in a Sync Module 2.
- How long do the batteries last?
- Blink rates them up to two years with normal use. Heavy motion and live viewing drain them faster, so expect less in busy areas.
- Is it better than the Outdoor 3?
- Yes on paper: the Outdoor 4 adds person detection, a wider field of view and better low-light video. The case and battery setup are similar.
- Does it work with Alexa?
- Yes. You can view the feed on Echo Show screens and Fire TV, and Alexa can announce motion. It does not work with Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
- What's in the box?
- One camera, a mounting kit and four AA lithium batteries. A Sync Module 2 is sold separately unless bundled.
- Can it record without Wi-Fi?
- No. It needs a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection to stream and record.
