Winnowl Index

Winnowl Verdict

We just finished the audit on the Blink Outdoor 4 XR Wireless Home Security Camera and it landed a MEDIOCRE (58) Winnowl Index, which is a score that unfortunately reflects more "brand" than "benefit" when you compare the high price to the average specs. This one hits the Average Performance and Mediocre Value marks, but because it's from a brand with Strong Brand Strength, you have to decide if the reputation is worth the extra cost. With the Blink Outdoor 4 XR Wireless Home Security Camera System 4-Camera 1000ft Range, you'll likely notice you should find the 1080p image clear enough for standard monitoring without causing a massive drain on your battery life since the Resolution is only 2 MP—that's actually 54% below what we usually see from the competition. You might want to do a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product because the 14% higher price tag results in 11% less hardware for your dollar than the class average—there are definitely better ways to spend your money.

While the Night Vision Range indicates you should effectively maintain visibility into the darker corners of your property where standard wireless cameras lose detail, the big catch is 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 is something you'll just have to deal with.
