Amazon’s Blink brand provides completely wireless home security without needing to break the bank. And the latest Blink product improves on an already winning formula.
Blink Outdoor Camera 4 Offers Person Detection and More
The Blink Outdoor Camera 4 still offers up to two years of use on a pair of AA batteries. But the 1,080p image quality has improved from the third-generation model. It also brings dual-zone motion detection that offers broader coverage of a scene. The camera’s field of view is now 143 degrees to help capture more of what’s happening.
With a subscription, a new person detection feature will allow you to receive an alert when a person is seen instead of something like an animal or tree branch caught up in a wind gust.
Just like previous generations, the camera is weather-resistant and doesn’t use any wires. Thanks to Alexa integration, you may use an Echo with a touchscreen to see a live view from the camera. You can also use two-way communication to talk to anyone in range of the camera.
Blink might not be as well known as Amazon’s other security camera option, Ring. But it offers a number of benefits. Make sure to see ourcomparison of Blink and Ringto help you make the best buying decision.
