Weather proof: This camera is amazing! it has been through a lot of tests. When I first got it, I taped it to a Crape Myrtle in my backyard. It was fine through the rain, so I started putting it in different locations. A pond that I made, attracted different wildlife and I wanted to capture images. I can't tell you how many times I found that camera face down in the water! 🤣 I pulled it, out saw hilarious footage of a camera falling into the water, and put it somewhere else. This camera is still going strong.Battery life: I have changed the batteries once. It is several years old! I don't like to review something until I've had it for a while. I recently bought three more of these outdoor cameras.Connectivity/range: I put one inside of a shelter box that I put outside to help a cat that has been coming around every night. I spotted him on another blink camera mounted to the eave of my garage. I set the motion sensor on, so if a different critter had gone into the box I could have scared it away making noise on the microphone. I have the hub plugged in to an outlet, near a window, inside my laundry room. It is a good 30 ft away from this cat shelter box. The camera is inside the box which is inside another box with a layer of insulation in between.Video Clarity: It recorded the cat up close, and not blurry. It is pitch black inside that box. It is so clear, I'm hoping to be able to find the owner now! The eave camera that caught him in the first place, provided a little bit too blurry of a video to identify him. That is not a complaint! It's very far away and very dark! We live on an island, and there is very little ambient light here when the sun goes down!Camera Noise: The camera must also be quiet! The cat did not flinch when that camera came on. I believe there's a little infrared dot light that comes on when recording, although I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I think you can turn that off in the settings. But, cats cannot see infrared light, I'm pretty sure. At least that's what I read on the internet so it must be true!I highly recommend this camera, for any application. I also use one inside as a monitor for a different cat that I rescued. That's a story for a different day.Mounts: There are various mounts that work to achieve bigger viewing angles, I have some of both. In all, I have 6 Blink cameras. 3 indoor and 3 outdoor. I would recommend any one of them!

5.0 out of 5 stars No camera system is perfect
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2022
Invested in the Blink Outdoor camera system over the holiday and here are my thoughts after 45 days of usage.
PROS:
1. Super easy to set up and install. It pretty much installs itself.
2. User friendly cell phone application. My only complaint is the inability to share access to the app with other household members. I'm not the only one who needs to access footage or receive alerts. You should have an admin user + other standard household users.
3. Image quality is decent as long as there is sufficient lighting.
4. Two way radio. Speaker is not great but microphone picks up even faint sounds. I could clearly hear someone talking on his phone while sitting in a car in front of my house.
5. From the app,. you can turn on/off the blue/red LEDs on the cameras to make them more or less noticeable depending on your needs.
6. App will show you battery life. Each camera can have it's onw settings including sensitivity, clip length, privacy zones, etc.

CONS
1. Night vision is not impressive at all, especially when the subject is 10+ fit away. I work around the issue by keeping my outdoor lighting on. Image #1 is at night with outdoor lighting.
2. Motion sensor feature is finicky. It detects motion BEFORE the subject enters the field of view. Motion sensor works best when subject travels across field of vision (left to right, right to left), especially if subject originates from outside of the camera's field of view. To get the best results, camera should be positioned in such a way that potential subjects travel L or R or R to L (not walking toward/away from camera)
3. Activity zones do not work as they should. I don't want my camera triggered by movement in my neighbors' yard but even when graying out that area, camera still picks up movement there.

Overall, I am satisfied with this system. I now have 4 cameras installed on my townhouse and I feel like the system met all my needs.
