If you’re in the market for a new wireless security camera system, check out the Blink Outdoor 4 XR six-camera system which is now available for $219.99 for a limited time. This deal is at a massive 48% discount, down from the $419.99 list price. Customers also have the option to trade-in a range of devices for up to 20% savings.
This product is fairly popular as it has sold over 500 units in the past month, it’s also the newest model of the product. To solidify its place as a good product, it’s marked as an Amazon’s Choice which means the price is good and so are the ratings.
The Blink Outdoor 4 XR system uses the Sync Module XR to extend the wireless range of the cameras. With Sync Module XR, you get four times the coverage for cameras installed up to 1000 feet away in open air, or 400 feet with typical use. The technology is also 20% quicker at allowing you to access live view and has a 70% more reliable connection compared to using Wi-Fi alone.
The system includes six cameras, a Sync Module XR, and 12 AA lithium batteries with a two-year battery life. It’s all controlled via the Blink app and is compatible with Alexa-enabled devices.
There are some limitations to this system that are worth pointing out. First of all, the extended range functionality is exclusively supported by the Blink Outdoor 4 and Outdoor 4 Floodlight cameras. Secondly, the XR mode supports a maximum video resolution of 720p and the XR+ mode supports only 360p video and disables two-way audio. Finally, the customer review summary states that while some customers get good range, others mention that the extended range doesn’t work as advertised and experience connectivity issues.
The purchase includes a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan, which allows for cloud storage of video clips. For local storage, the Sync Module XR requires a MicroSD card, which is sold separately.
