Editors' Note: There is a new version of the Blink Outdoor camera available. See our review of the Blink Outdoor 4 . Zombie movies are one of the most iconic staples of the horror genre, there are plenty of good ones but a whole host that should've stayed dead. The Blink Outdoor provides Full HD colour video which serves up a crisp, clear picture, with more than enough detail to clearly identify individuals. Things automatically switch to infrared vision in low light, which obviously provides a monochrome picture that’s less clear than that found in daylight. However once again Arlo just pips Blink to the post here thanks to its smart features. As well as being able to identify whether the motion has been created by a persona, animal, vehicle or another source such as wind rustling in the trees, Arlo cameras also offer rich notifications to your phone, providing you with a snapshot of the motion - so you can easily decide if you should launch the app and investigate, or ignore the alert. The Blink Indoor is exactly the same as the Blink Outdoor except it’s designed for the inside of the home. It has an impressive battery life, monitoring features and can either be mounted to the wall or sit on your furniture for optimal viewing and recording. The Blink Indoor also works with Alexa so you can use your voice to monitor your home through supported Alexa-enabled devices (this is also available with the Outdoor and Mini devices).

Sometimes power cycling does not solve your problem. In that case, you will want to reset your Blink system by resetting the Sync Module.See, hear and speak to visitors in real time with 1080p HD live view and two-way audio from the app. Light up the night with 700 lumens of motion-triggered high-quality LED lights. The Blink Indoor, Outdoor, XT, and XT2 cameras require a Sync Module. The Sync Module connects all your cameras to the internet. Works with Alexa: use your voice to monitor your home with live view and motion alerts, you can also activate lights with selected Alexa devices. Another option if you prefer a wireless configuration is the Blink Outdoor floodlight mount. This one uses the Blink Outdoor for the camera part, while the mount itself provides two bright battery-powered floodlights. Smart Home Limitations

However, when resetting Blink Cameras, if they are connected to a Sync Module, it is recommended to perform the factory reset. But first, here’s a brief look at Blink’s stats, including how we review them: Blink Camera Features Days Tested

Simple to install with great video quality. Could not believe how simple it was to set up. Also, how simple it is to arm and disarm. This is worth the money people! I am buying 3 more cameras soon.” The camera itself feels sturdy and well-made, while its weatherproof design promises to fend off downpours (though it’s not rated for underwater submersion). During our few weeks’ worth of testing, the Blink Outdoor comfortably shrugged off some of the biggest British summer downpours we’ve ever seen, filling us with confidence in its outdoor durability. The one thing we will add though is that the plastic can get scratched quite easily, not that you’ll need to worry about that once it’s mounted. Even with these changes, it’s nice to see that in 2023, Blink is still putting out solid battery-operated cameras that provide up to two years of continuous use and affordable video storage, keeping both up-front and monthly costs low. That said, if a wide-angle lens camera sounds appealing to you, take a peek at my Amcrest camera review, where you’ll learn about a pair of solid devices with wider viewing angles, and better night vision, too. Managing Recordings With Blink Indoor Alternatively save motion clips & photos from up to 10 Blink cameras connected to the Blink Sync Module 2 locally in your home & view them through the Blink app or the computer by plugging in a USB flash drive (sold separately) for no additional fee.
