Pan left and right and tilt up and down from the Blink app to see more of your home with HD day and infrared night view. On paper, the Blink Outdoor 4 camera doesn’t appear to have any major upgrades when it comes to video quality. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. But the Wyze Cam doesn’t offer two years of battery life; higher resolution would likely mean shorter battery life.

Plus, the new Sync Module 2 and its support of up to 10 cameras paired with the powerful control app made setting up an entire home security camera network easy. To view the video in full-screen mode, turn your phone sideways or tap the box in the upper right corner.

There’s a minimal look and feel to the camera’s refreshed design that leaves you with the impression that it’s a clear upgrade over older Blink Outdoor models. With up to two years of battery life*, day and night HD video, motion detection, two-way audio, and more, Outdoor 4 helps you be there from anywhere. On the side of the small box that makes up the Sync Module 2 is a full-sized USB port, just like what you’d see on the side of a laptop. We would love to see better night vision and a wider viewing angle from its battery-powered cameras, for example.

With 1080p resolution and at 30 frames-per-second, footage is crisp and clear, in a 110 degree field of view. This all depends on the size of the product (getting past obstructions / through doorways), and also on weight. The front of the enclosure holds the camera lens, two passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors, a microphone, and an infrared LED for black-and-white night vision.For the last few years, when people have asked me if they should get a Blink Outdoor camera, I’ve tried to steer them away from them due to low video and picture quality.
