Blink Outdoor 4 review
Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Security Camera
By Tom Calder
The cheapest wire-free camera in this comparison, and the AA-battery power system is a genuine convenience — no fiddly recharging, just a battery swap roughly once every couple of years per Blink's own claim. Resolution is capped at 1080p, and free local storage is only free if you also buy the optional Sync Module 2 and a USB drive.
- Best for
- Budget-conscious buyers who want the cheapest wire-free entry point and don't mind 1080p resolution.
- Skip it if
- 1080p feels dated to you

What we like
- Cheapest wire-free camera in this comparison
- Runs on two AA lithium batteries with a manufacturer-claimed two-year life — no rechargeable pack to manage
- Genuine free local storage option via an optional Sync Module 2 and USB drive, avoiding a subscription entirely
Worth knowing
- 1080p resolution, the lowest tier in this comparison alongside Ring
- The free local-storage route needs an extra purchase — the bundled Sync Module Core alone doesn't provide it

Who shouldn't buy this
Skip this if 1080p feels dated to you — Reolink's RLC-810A costs less and gives 4K, if you're able to run a cable to it.
