Winnowl Index

Winnowl Verdict

We just finished the audit on the Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Security Camera and it landed a LAGGING (55) Winnowl Index, which is a score that unfortunately reflects more "brand" than "benefit" when you compare the high price to the average specs. This one hits the Mediocre Performance and Mediocre Value marks, but because it's from a brand with Strong Brand Strength, you have to decide if the reputation is worth the extra cost. With the Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Security Camera System with Two-Year Battery and Two-Way Talk, you'll likely notice you should find the 1080p image clear enough for standard monitoring without causing a massive drain on your battery life since the Resolution is only 2 MP—that's actually 54% below what we usually see from the competition. You might want to do a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product because the 14% higher price tag results in 23% less hardware for your dollar than the class average—there are definitely better ways to spend your money.

Performance Rating

Mediocre

Strengths

Neutrals

Weaknesses

In its class, this product's performance is 15% below the average and earns a Mediocre Performance rating. It’s a bit of a mixed bag: the Night Vision Range indicates you should effectively maintain visibility into the darker corners of your property where standard wireless cameras lose detail, but you may find that the 2 MP Resolution means that you should find the 1080p image clear enough for standard monitoring without causing a massive drain on your battery life—so just make sure that's a trade-off you're okay with.

Night Vision Range	50 ft	Average	21% better	Extended night reach. Indicates a more powerful IR array and battery system, allowing for better perimeter security without external lighting.
