Our take on the Blink Solaris 2K+ Solar-powered wireless smart security camera

The Blink Solaris 2K+ is a wireless outdoor security camera that runs on a small solar panel, so it needs as little as 45 minutes of direct sunlight a day to keep going. It records 2K+ video, has night vision and an IP-65 weather rating, and works with Amazon Alexa. It ships with a Sync Module Core, which is required for operation and plugs into power indoors. No current price was provided for this page, so check the latest store prices and the recent price history before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the Blink Solaris 2K+ worth it?
It is a good fit if your mount gets direct sun and you use Alexa. If the spot is shaded, a wired camera or one with a larger battery will be less hassle.
Do I need the Sync Module Core?
Yes. The camera pairs with the included Sync Module Core, which must be plugged into power indoors. Without it the camera will not work.
How much sunlight does it need?
Blink rates it at as little as 45 minutes of direct sunlight per day. In practice, more sun means fewer charging worries, and heavy motion alerts drain the battery faster.
Does it work with Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit?
No. It supports Amazon Alexa only, so live view and voice control work through Echo devices.
Can it store video without a subscription?
Yes, with a USB flash drive in the Sync Module Core, which is not included. A Blink subscription adds cloud storage and extra features.
When is it cheapest?
Blink cameras usually drop around Prime Day, Black Friday and back-to-school sales. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.
