Winnowl Verdict

The Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Security Camera just cleared our audit with a MEDIOCRE (54) Winnowl Index—a score that unfortunately reflects more "brand" than "benefit." This is a Mediocre Performance and Mediocre Value product from a brand with Strong Brand Strength. With the Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Security Camera System with Two-Year Battery and Two-Way Talk, the specs show that you should find the 1080p image clear enough for standard monitoring without causing a massive drain on your battery life due to Resolution of 2 MP, which sits 54% below the average. We recommend a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product; the 14% higher price tag results in 23% less hardware for your dollar than the class average.

Performance Rating

Strengths

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.
