Is there a monthly fee for Blink outdoor camera?

With the Blink Outdoor, Indoor, and Mini, we chose from one of two subscription plans: the Basic plan for $3 per month, or the Plus plan for $10 per month. Both offer 60 days of cloud storage, which is quite generous in our view. [1]

The Blink XT2 is now officially discontinued, meaning you can’t buy one new from retail stores. [2]

Blink security cameras record in short intervals based on motion detection and are not designed to record continuously. Motion detection will remain active as long as your system is armed. Additionally, users can manually record footage using the Live View feature, depending on your Blink subscription plan. [3]

It features full HD video, IR night vision, customizable motion-based recording, two-way audio, and live view through the Blink app. You need a cloud subscription to view recorded footage or store video locally on a Sync Module 2 (not required for operation). [4]

Well, the answer is a Yes! According to Tenable Inc, one of the leading Cyber security firms, these cameras are vulnerable to hacking. The firm experimented with the latest Blink ST2 model. They found nearly seven unsafe pathways and vulnerabilities present in the wireless camera. [5]

Blink Plus costs more, but it’s the subscription plan for anyone that owns a few Blink security cameras. This plan will cover all your devices, and along with perks such as cloud storage and live view recording, you’ll get an extended warranty and a 10 percent discount to use on Blink devices. [6]

The main difference between Ring, Blink, and Arlo is their area of focus. Ring focuses on all-around security, with its video doorbells, indoor and outdoor security cameras, Ring Alarm, and smart light-equipped cameras. Blink’s focus is on offering affordable but good-quality cameras. [7]

Blink devices cannot work with Ring devices. However, you can use the Alexa application to connect these gadgets. All you need to do is create an Alexa routine on your app and link the devices. [8]

The difference between the Blink XT2 and Blink Outdoor Camera primarily lies in their features. The Blink Outdoor Camera offers privacy zones, local storage, and unlimited cloud storage with a subscription—all features that are not available with the XT2. [9]

The Blink XT2, Blink’s latest indoor/ outdoor camera, didn’t require us to pay any additional monthly fees after we bought the initial equipment. Rather, the camera itself gave us local storage as well as two hours of free cloud storage, making it an affordable option for those on a tight budget. [10]
