What Users Are Saying
Many reviewers have highlighted key areas of satisfaction and disappointment:
“Overall, I’m very happy with the Blink camera system. One of the reasons I decided to buy into this system was because I didn’t need a subscription for the live view option via the app.”
“The Blink Outdoor 4 is an excellent camera that’s perfect for homeowners looking for a reliable and affordable way to monitor their property.”
“…I’ll see a blurry face unless I’m right next to the camera because it struggles with detail beyond 10 feet…”
