Amazon’s popular outdoor security camera, the Blink Outdoor 4, now boasts a battery life of up to four years without needing new batteries. This upgrade significantly improves its value compared to previous generations.
The Blink Outdoor has always been known for its disposable batteries, which have a much longer lifespan than traditional power cables and rechargeable batteries. However, some users may still prefer the convenience of solar-powered charging or cable runs for their outdoor security cameras.
The new Blink Outdoor 4th generation offers more processing power, enabling advanced features like onboard AI for motion detection with customizable dual zones and person detection (subscription required). This allows for more specific motion alerts, reducing unwanted notifications.
The camera’s battery life remains impressive at up to two years on a single set of AA batteries. The new Blink Sync Module Core facilitates cloud storage for recorded footage. Users can extend the battery life further by purchasing the Battery Extension Pack, which doubles it to four years.
The Blink Outdoor 4 is priced at $49.99 / £69.99 for a single-camera system, with a bundle including the camera and extension pack available for $64.99 / £89.99. The extension pack can be purchased separately for $29.99 / £24.99.
