Blink Outdoor Accessories To Make It BETTER...

Today, we are going to talk about 2 issues I have with my Blink Outdoor camera and also check out accessories that will help make it better.
So, the Blink outdoor and indoor cameras are the only camera system that were made recently that still disposable batteries to power up the camera. First versions of Arlo and also the Reolink Argus started with disposable CR123A batteries but later models were changed with removable and replaceable ones and they now getting into the built in rechargeable batteries.

Blink still continued with their AA lithium powered cameras which they do advertise to last up to 2 years...in reality though and if the camera monitors an area where there is decent amount of traffic, then you will be lucky to get 1 year out of the batteries.

To ease the worry about battery life, one thing you can do is to hardwire the Blink outdoor camera. There are a lot of vendors at Amazon that sells extended micro USB cables designed to be used outdoors and specifically for Blink cameras.

Another thing that you can look at is solar panels... now these solar panels also needs to be designed for Blink because a regular solar panel will not work. It needs to have a built in rechargeable battery that the panel will charge and in turn this battery will power up the camera.

Lastly, we are going to take a look at Wasserstein Floodlight designed for Blink cameras which aside from providing unlimited power to the Blink outdoor cam, it also will help in recording color footage at night instead of the crappy night vision that the Blink cameras have.
