Like-New Blink Outdoor 4 (4th Gen) – Wire-free smart security camera, two-year battery life, two-way audio, HD live view, enhanced motion detection, Works with Alexa – 2 camera…

I bought these Blink cameras and a subscription plan to keep tabs on my construction projects (home renovation company). I've been happy so far with how easy they were to setup, the video quality, and the build quality of the camera. We've had some big storms this winter and they kept functioning throughout. They are also easy to hide in various locations so that you can watch your driveway, doorway, etc without people knowing they're on camera (so legally, they should only be placed on your own property). I also like the Blink app - it's easy to review recent activity at your home, set filters for various kinds of activity, and select and send clips via text or email. Finally, the connection between the wireless internet module and the cameras is strong and I haven't had any issues with it dropping, about 50' from the module to the cameras. I have internet at my project homes, and it connected quickly and easily to the wireless.

Love these cameras -easy to install -I’ve had this system for over 3 years and just changed out the batteries ( didn’t have to change them out just yet) so got over 3 plus years out of the 2yr old batteries -these I just bought to put in my parents house-simple system and you don’t need a subscription to work but you can purchase one if you want

Overview: I recently purchased the Certified Refurbished Blink Outdoor 4 (4th Gen) wire-free smart security camera, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. This camera has significantly enhanced my home security.

Setup: Setting up the Blink Outdoor 4 was straightforward. The instructions were easy to follow, and I had the camera up and running within minutes. The wire-free design is a huge plus, allowing for flexible placement without worrying about outlets.

Video Quality: The video quality is excellent, with crisp 1080p resolution and clear night vision. I can easily make out details, which gives me peace of mind when monitoring my property. The motion detection feature is highly sensitive and alerts me promptly whenever there’s activity.

App Functionality: The Blink app is user-friendly and intuitive. I can view live footage, receive notifications, and adjust settings all from my smartphone. The two-way audio feature is particularly handy for communicating with visitors or checking in on pets.

Battery Life: I’ve been impressed with the battery life so far. The camera uses AA batteries, and I’ve found that they last for several months even with frequent use. This is a significant advantage compared to other security cameras that require constant recharging.

Refurbished Quality: As a refurbished product, I was initially hesitant, but the camera arrived in excellent condition—almost like new. There were no signs of wear, and it functions perfectly. I appreciate the value I received without sacrificing quality.

Conclusion: Overall, the Certified Refurbished Blink Outdoor 4 is an outstanding choice for anyone looking to enhance their home security. It combines ease of use, high-quality video, and great battery life at an affordable price. I highly recommend this camera for anyone in need of a reliable outdoor security solution.

Quick background: 1700sq ft house with fiber optic internet with a wireless router and using a wireless repeater for better signal reach.
I installed the Blink 3 cameras when they first came out and safe to say I was like many others, I was totally not impressed at all. The videos would take forever to load if using in home cloud storage. I was debating on taking down all the cameras and changing brands but Amazon had these Blink 4 on sale during Black Friday.
I purchased 4 Blink 4 cameras along with aftermarket mounts and installed them and removed almost all of my blink 3 cameras.
Pros:
Much faster loading times (internet speed and signal strength plays a huge role in this)
Low light performance blows the 3 cameras out of the water for night viewing.
Better audio quality and less booming or feedback
Wider and higher quality video resolution
Better battery life
Faster on detecting people but still slower than Ring.
More adjustments to the cameras but still lacking in the program area like Ring has.
I would only purchase these when they are on sale. I will be buying more and replacing the remaining blink 3 cameras.
Cons or thoughts
I would also make sure you have a high speed micro SD card as that will play a huge part in video playback time. Aftermarket mounts make these camera more efficient and better positioned.
Value for the money when they are on sale I would buy them.
The app needs to be updated and revamped

I will keep buying this product the picture quality is great and I love the functionality of the camera the battery life isn’t bad.

These work great INSIDE. The minute they go outside, they do not work. All you get is the spinning circle of death. I can get internet on my computer in my back yard, so I know it is not a household Wi-Fi issue.

Was Leary at first to buy refurbished, I am very happy. Up over a month no issues at all. Very easy to connect
