Expert Reviews80
Cheap, easy and reliable, with improved image quality and long battery life; a subscription is needed for storage and person detection, which is flaky.

What do critics say about the Blink Outdoor 4?
TechRadar80
An affordable, beginner-friendly wireless camera that does the job with a long battery life, though footage tops out at 1080p and it only works inside Blink's ecosystem.
Trusted Reviews80
Good value, easy-to-set-up wireless camera with adequate video in all lighting.
TechGearLab57
Mediocre video, weak monitoring performance and poor battery efficiency in testing, though the app is friendly and basic features work.
