Summary
- Blink Outdoor 4 boasts 1.5 years of battery life.
- New batteries cost $4-$5, totaling only 22 cents monthly.
- A two-camera bundle is currently $120, saving $180.
The Blink Outdoor 4 stands out with its exceptional battery performance, lasting up to a year and a half on a single set of AA lithium batteries. This longevity eliminates the frequent recharging hassle associated with other wireless security cameras, providing unparalleled convenience, especially for cameras in hard-to-access locations. Replacing the batteries costs only $4 to $5, averaging about 22 cents per month for sustained operation.
This "jack of all trades" camera is praised for its 1080p resolution, Alexa support, two-way audio, and motion detection, all within a compact, weather-resistant design. Its standout feature, however, remains the extended battery life, making it a top recommendation for an all-purpose, affordable wireless camera. The ease of replacing the two AA lithium batteries, taking just a minute, adds to its user-friendly appeal.
With a CNET Editors' Choice Award, the Blink Outdoor 4 offers significant value, especially during sales events. A two-camera bundle is currently available for $120, a substantial $180 reduction from its original price. The user-friendly Blink app further enhances the experience, providing easy access to camera features and battery status, making it a hassle-free home security solution.
