Doc installs his 4th Blink camera system and this time he upgrades to the new Outdoors version. It is a much improved system over the old XT2.
Blink Outdoor is a wireless battery-powered HD security camera that helps you monitor your home day or night with infrared night vision. With long-lasting battery life, Outdoor runs for up to two years on two AA lithium batteries (included). Outdoor is built to withstand the elements to help you protect your home inside or out, come rain or shine. Get motion detection alerts on your phone with the option to customize motion zones in the Blink Home Monitor app so you’re only alerted when you need to be. See, hear, and speak to visitors with live view in real time and two-way audio features on your Blink app. Designed so you can set up yourself in minutes. No wiring, no professional installation required. Works with Alexa - use your voice to monitor your home through supported Alexa-enabled devices. Store video clips and photos in the cloud with the Blink Subscription Plan and save events locally to the Blink Sync Module 2 via a USB flash drive (sold separately). - Навчання та стиль
My father-in-law was able to get in my car and move it and put his van in its place and it didn't start recording until he started working on his van... Totally amazing camera system
A great no nonsense video straight to the point. I wish all reviews were this helpful and beneficial to my needs. Thanks
I caught 2 guys stealing my daughters scooter shes 4 ! Raced back from the store and caught them down the street. Kicked the shit out of them !
Thank you so much. I am a single mom with small children. I have been researching security systems for quite a while and this is by far the bes, most informative and easily understood video I have come across! Many Blessings to you and your family. You are truly helping other families!!!🙂🙂🙂
Great video Doc. I really appreciate the information about the silicone covers and the swivel mounts. I think that adds a lot to the system. As you discussed, it’s amazingly easy to set up. When you do the grid feature, it even has an advanced feature you can go into and be even more selective with how you set zones. And it has privacy zones and activity zones. Just really good stuff all the way around. Another little tip: I use a Google voice free phone number, where you can link different cell phones to it. So I was able to link my wife’s cell
and my cell phone to our Google voice number, and I used that number for the system. So now we actually both get the alerts if something happens. I’m not sure how many phones that would work with, but it definitely works with two!!
Thanks again for this video. Great stuff.
Thank you for the full step by step review and guide!
Thank you for taking the time, you did a T'riff job
I've heard alot of good things about that system it's worth looking into thanks for sharing this man!!!
By the way, the little plastic flathead thing for undoing the back also works as a joint to make the cameras capable of a 90 degree turn. It took me a minute to figure it out. I was like, "Why the hell do I need 5 of these things?"
What a truly in depth and complete review. Will definitely link this video upon leaving a review.
Hey Doc! No unboxing? Thats why we loves ya man!
OMG.. your grass is beautiful.
Just bought the system, thanks for the tips!
Superb review and explanation! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
WOW - you are great at this! Thank you!
Great video!!!! I had trouble with the mounting brackets that came with the blink cameras, but your link to the Frienda brackets saved the day!!!
Thanks so much Doc, this was a big help!
Best video about this system that I have seen. Thank you for the great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for an actual review....by review I mean we are not viewing you opening a box! Great examples of different scenarios as well!
Thank you for your help. I was debating about buying or not this type of camera. Now I am more clear about how this works.
I love my Blink system. I have the XT2. Just letting you know that I can gray out the areas I don’t want in motion as well. It’s really cool. If you click on advanced it zooms in and you can gray out in a tighter area.
Great review! Thanks for all the info 😊
Great video with a clear explanation...
Thanks for this video… I’m debating between ring or blink! Your explanation is awesome
thankyou really enjoyed your video, I have just bought one of these cameras and I am delighted with it.
Great review!
THANK you for explaining !!!
I had a notification whilst away at work, looking on liveview I saw a stressed paramedic banging on the windows and doors of my house, I rang the emergency line to tell them they had the wrong house as nobody was home, luckily the controller was able to call the paramedic, and stop him calling the police to break entry into my house, I like to think they made it to the correct address of the emergency caller to help them in time.
You hooked me and subscribed Thank you I found it very helpful.
The grid that you discuss for motion alerts is on my XT2 system, not exclusive to Outdoor. It is hugely beneficial.
Very good job of explaining.
Thank you. Very informative.
An excellent and informative review thanks.
Preciate that doc! I was really thinking about getting one of these and your vid just helped me make my decision.. 👍
which is?
Excellent video, well explained
Thanks for sharing, I just bought a set of 5.
Great info and no baloney!
Awesome awesome video buddy, I’m using your link😃
Motion zones is and has always been available on the XT2's and original camera. XT2's have a smaller grid you can use though.
Doc i have the X2 cameras like you inside and out setup on schedules just as you report. I use the more secure install products too. I did not know that I can add a thumb drive to the server and download video tp it. i like your video because it has given me ideas to try here where i screen out trees. Thank you
Hi You Did a Nice Job . Nice Review. Ronnie From Toronto 🇨🇦. 🙏🍀😋
Thank for an informative video on these inexpensive security cams 👍
No link to those covers or extenders. 😉
I have had my old system for about three years. Just bought 4 of the solar powered cameras from Costco @ 2 for $150. No need any longer for those energizer lithiums as the mount has its own lithium ion battery that charges from solar. Nice compact setup but does need to be mounted in a sunny area. Although the panel is detachable and can be mounted a short distance away for sun.
That motion area block on the app didn’t perform well on the older cams and still triggered recordings so I’m hoping they fixed that issue. Also the new version allows an even finer grid blocking to prevent triggering.
Mounting on a tree as you found out will cause multiple triggers if there is wind. Okay for simple viewing but not for motion detection.
I got approximately 6-9 months life on the older cams batteries with normal use. Now with the solar setup I did not install the supplied batteries. They would be needed if there was no sun for a long extended time for backup power thou.
The 18650 lithium ion battery in the solar case is pretty powerful (I have several tact lights that use the same battery) and also easily replaceable in the future.
I have grandfathered free cloud storage as a legacy member. I would be invaluable if you hadn’t had a chance to down load video and had cams and module storage stolen in a break in.
Bandits are sometime pretty savvy on simple systems. So hiding the inside blink module or “brain” out of sight may be helpful.
Good one, thanks.
Great Video !
Thanks for this video. I was wondering if we could use the platform for multiple homes as we have a cabin. Thanks for the info!
Great video
What I was told by the tech at Blink was that you can’t mass delete local storage and as someone using it for a remote AirBnb this is very inconvenient and pushes you to use cloud storage. Vs the xt2 that is auto re-recording for you and you can easily safe a clip to your photo album on your phone.
The internal chip set and camera tech is exactly the same.
where is the video for the golf green in the back yard !!! Super cool !! Need one!!
Any issues with connecting with network extenders, as opposed to the main router? Very helpful video, as usual. Thank you.
Can me and my wife download the cameras on both of our phones? So if I’m at work and she’s at work we both can see you the same thing?
You can definitely adjust zones with the xt2 system as well
Great great job
great job! I'm sold... have arlo and am extremely disappointed with them and their customer service!
Awesome video. Thank you so much. The area you grayed out it doesn't show in the videos anymore or it shows the same but won't pick up that motion that is grayed out?
The difference now is they now charge a monthly fee per camera unless you have an account already.
Really well explained ordered the silicone cover love the screw back. Tell me do you put signs at front door telling guests they are being recorded?
Love your video. Just got a system. Have no
Thanks for the informative video. A couple of questions: what is the name of the silicon mount for the new outdoor cameras? How or can you change the wifi for each camera? Thanks
Hi sr, you can watch all 4 or two live cameras at the same time
Excellent
Do you need a sync module for the beach house or their all on one?
Great video. Thank you. Which USB SD reader would you recommend?
Hello, thank you for posting this video, I found it helpful and interesting. I have purchased the Blink outdoor cameras and I am curious to know if you are still happy with yours, have they proved useful to you in the long term? Many thanks.
i just installed the new outdoor camera and timing was perfect. i had a UPS delivery coming later that day. i received an alert from the app that the camera had detected motion. a few seconds later i looked at the clip and to my amazement, i watched 10 seconds of absolutely nothing. the response time between the motion alert and the camera starting to record was so long that the UPS driver had dropped off the package and left. i looked for the package, it wasn't there went and did other things and got the alert. went to the front door and my package was there. any ideas on how to fix this?
I've got a bunch of the XT2's and I just can't get behind these new cameras. I get why they had to drop off free cloud storage, but they need to make the way you view footage better with these new ones. My understanding is that after 24 hours they load to the SD card and you can only view them on your computer by removing the card. Just silly.
my brother came out from Alabama and i live in Colorado and he showed me his and was talking to the yard keep wow
With the weather proof case on the camera, can you still plug in the optional electrical cord to the camera if you don't want to use batteries?
U don't have to use a penny, u use the mount that comes with it
What camera are you using to record yourself? It's Excellent
I been looking at blink myself since I actually got one of my atv stolen right out of my yard plus on top of that things been coming up missing it will be nice to have a piece of mind if I have this I heard the new cameras have two way and you can make still pics is that so? Anyways thanks for the video really helped me decide plus I know now what to get
Hi, we have the same system for our two homes. What I’m finding is the batteries only last about a month on each house. Am I doing something wrong? I do replace them with the correct batteries so it’s not that I’m using the wrong ones. Any tips would be appreciated regarding the battery life. Thanks in advance.
These are brilliant little cameras. I would highly recommend them.
according to your link, that silicone cover only fits the xt2, not the NEW Blink Outdoor?
I'm worried about the camera being easily taken out of the Silicone cover and mounting system and stolen. You mentioned that the bracket screws right into the back of the Silicone cover, but not as to whether the bracket screws into the silicone cover and through it and into the screw grooves on the camera that the back cover screw screws into, thus, the bracket screw taking the place of the camera's back cover screw.
The most dangerous equipment on a job site is a ladder. I hate climbing that ladder once per quarter to change out the AA battery's that power the thing.
Don't see any of the links you said you'd post about accessories. I'm most interested in the plug in gadget holder for the module and wifi and camera extenders. Don't see the need for the camera holder as the cameras are weatherized already. Maybe for the shield to keep raindrops off the lens? Also wondered if the hood shrunk the coverage area.
I was wondering would live feed drain the battery also
Doc, in your video about the Blink Outdoors cameras, you talk about your router. Could you tell me what router you use. Thanks
Doc thanks for the video. I'm trying to find the Silicone cover you have but only see a hard case on amazon ? Do you have a model number I can order and from where? Thanks again.
Where are the links to mounts and silicone covers??
Hi, An excellent presentation no doubt. I have one question-is there any way that I can get alerts including an image either a video or still image via email also in addition to getting a text..etc Any inputs will be very helpful.
where are the links to the new stuff? the covers with the thread in back
Hello.. so did you replace the back cover for the silicone cover or the two of them? And then the extender breaker?
Good info, but I wish he would address the very long latency in the video capture. The object discovered is often not shown in the video until well beyond the area when the device should have triggered. I have the 5-camera plus Echo Show system.
Increase the sensitivity on the camera. We don't have the issue.
Thnx for the clip doc,If i need 2 indoor and 2 out door cameras are they connecting each other in the same system and in the same app? can you share a link for buying?
If your wifi cuts out do you have to get the cameras down & rescan all of them again?
Hi, Great Video, I'm ready to go. I cannot find any links for the silicone housing. Could you let me know the name of the company and which site you purchased them from. Thank you so much.
What link do I go on to find out how to order the silicone covers for new blink outdoor cameras
Hey so, a little off-topic but, what exactly is that legal tree requirement / 1000 sq ft you mentioned at 6:30? I was really curious to know. Love the review btw!
If your internet goes out but your WiFi stays on will you still be able to record to the USB back up drive?
I liked the cameras, picked up a 3 pack. The only thing is my IR is black, nothing where it is mounted out side, dark no lights. Placed the same cam in a closet the IR works fine, I'm thinking settings? Any suggestions.
Doc - good stuff. I want to see blink cams on a single screen and played with Echo Show but not real pleased.....any ideas?
Can you tell me who made the silicon brackets where you got them and what was the cost ?
My phone view of my system does not show the cameras live like it looked like yours does Doc. How do you get the cameras to have a camera shot when you pull up the Home Screen of all five cameras?
Where do you get those Extender's and Silicon Covers???
is the blink system better than the ring system?
Curious about the silicone cover with the extended top protruding out. I don't see that or maybe you could post a link if they still make it (is this just for the XT models) and is it good for the latest Blink camera outdoor kits? Thanks..Great videos!!
Speaking at night with night vision enabled do you have motion activated light? If so how do they work out for you? With the cameras being on night vision then the lights coming on at the same time or right after the cameras start recording? I have heard lots of issues with this?
5 camera system out of stock. Fantastic! Lol.
No it’s not
can you get text alerts without the monthly subscription
Hi How has the batteries held up for you?
How many smart phone can link into the system? Like my phone, wife’s phone and a teenager?
