Blink Outdoor 4 and Arlo Pro 5S: A Comparative Review of Outdoor Security Cameras
The market for outdoor security cameras is bustling, and two popular choices are the Blink Outdoor 4 and the Arlo Pro 5S. Let's delve into the features and benefits of each.
The Blink Outdoor 4, produced by Blink—a subsidiary of Amazon—is a versatile and affordable option. With a suggested retail price of just $100, it offers 1080p HD video with a 143-degree diagonal field of view. The camera can withstand temperatures ranging from -4 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for various climates.
The Blink Outdoor 4's main battery, powered by 2 AA 1.5V lithium non-rechargeable batteries, promises a battery life of up to 2 years with default settings. The camera features 2-way audio and lights, including a blue LED and a red LED for night vision. The mount for the Blink Outdoor 4 is a screw-in type, allowing it to be installed on a fence post.
During events like Black Friday and Prime Day, the Blink Outdoor 4 often goes on sale for up to 50% off. In addition, during Labor Day sales, you can buy two Blink Outdoor 4 cameras for less than the usual price of a single camera.
On the other hand, the Arlo Pro 5S boasts advanced AI customization options, making it an appealing choice for those seeking more sophisticated features. However, it requires more frequent battery recharging and a subscription for full functionality.
The Arlo Pro 5S's size is similar to the Blink Outdoor 4, with dimensions of 70 mm W x 70 mm L x 41 mm D and a weight of 141 g. It's compatible with the Sync Module 2, which has a USB slot for video clip storage, making Arlo's subscription services optional.
For outdoor cameras with more advanced features and smart capabilities, the Arlo Pro 5S is a solid choice. However, its price point is typically higher than the Blink Outdoor 4.
Both the Blink Outdoor 4 and the Arlo Pro 5S are compatible with mobile apps that offer quick camera live views, two-way audio chats, and motion and human detection alerts. The Blink app, in particular, does not provide real-time battery life updates; it only shows when the battery is "OK" or running low until it dies completely.
