Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Security Camera review

Budget-conscious buyers who want the cheapest wire-free entry point and don't mind 1080p resolution.

By Tom Calder · Updated 24 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker

Our verdict
4.0 / 5

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.

Current price
£69.99
at usual priceIn stock

£69.99 confirmed on Amazon.co.uk as of Jul 2026 for the 1-camera system with Sync Module Core. Note this differs from Blink's 2-camera bundle (around £134.99) and the camera-plus-Battery-Extension-pack bundle (around £89.99) — check you're buying the right SKU.

What we like
  • Cheapest wire-free camera in this comparison at £69.99
  • 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
