For the UK (model BCM01500U), Blink names only Alexa for the Outdoor 4, through the Blink SmartHome skill. Its pages don't mention Apple Home, Google Home or Matter. It runs on two AA lithium batteries, joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi through a Sync Module, and stores clips locally only with a Sync Module 2.

• Radio: 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n. Per the FAQ the camera reaches your Wi-Fi through a Sync Module. Blink's English (UK) spec page lists only the US and Australian model numbers; its German spec page names BCM01500U for the UK.
• Hub: Blink says the Outdoor 4 needs a Sync Module to connect to your home Wi-Fi. It works with any Blink Sync Module and is sold separately or in camera bundles.
• Local control: Blink does not state what works without its cloud.
• Type: The FAQ says IP65 weather resistant. Removing the port cover removes that protection unless powered over USB-C with a weather-resistant adapter. The tech specs page lists no IP rating.
• Power: Two AA 1.5 V non-rechargeable lithium batteries, up to 2 years at default settings. A weather-resistant power adapter is sold separately. The Battery Extension Pack is US and Canada only.
• Local recording: Only with a Sync Module 2 (USB drive); Sync Module XR (microSD) is US and Canada only. Blink says the Sync Module Core, which comes in some Outdoor 4 bundles, does not support local storage.
• Paid plan needed for: Includes a 30-day Blink Plus trial, then a Basic or Plus plan.

Before you buy
