- Do I need a subscription to use the Blink Outdoor 4?
- No. You get motion alerts, live view and person detection without a plan. A subscription adds cloud clip history and longer storage.
- How long do the batteries last?
- Blink rates them at up to two years on two AA lithium batteries. Heavy live viewing and frequent alerts shorten that.
- Can I record locally without the cloud?
- Yes, with a USB flash drive plugged into the Sync Module Core. Clips save locally instead of to Blink's cloud.
- Does it work with Alexa?
- Yes. You can ask an Echo Show to show a camera, and Alexa can announce motion events. It does not work with Google Home or HomeKit.
- What is in the box?
- Five Outdoor 4 cameras, one Sync Module Core, mounting kits and batteries. You supply the USB drive if you want local storage.
- Is it worth it over the Outdoor 4 single camera?
- The five-pack is for covering several areas at once on one hub. A single camera makes more sense if you only need one viewpoint.
