If you've been wanting to test the waters with outdoor security cameras but didn’t want to go all-in on subscriptions or complicated installs, this Blink deal strikes a nice middle ground. Right now, you can grab the Blink Outdoor 4 camera bundled with the new Sync Module Core for just $39.99 on Amazon. That’s half off the usual price—and the cheapest it’s ever been, according to price trackers.

The Outdoor 4 camera is completely wireless, weather-resistant (IP65-rated), and runs on the included AA batteries that can last up to two years, depending on usage. And with 1080p video and a 143-degree field of view, it’s designed to keep an eye on your front porch, driveway, or backyard without much fuss (though you’ll want to manage expectations around image quality in low light).

This version pairs with the new Sync Module Core, which is a little hub that keeps things connected and humming. It plugs into a wall outlet inside your home and links your camera to wifi, helping improve battery life and letting you manage settings or view footage in real time through the Blink app.

Unlike older modules, the Core doesn’t come with a USB port for local video storage, so if you want to save clips, you’ll need to subscribe to Blink’s cloud plan. A 30-day trial is included; after that, plans start at $3/month for one device or $10/month for unlimited devices per account. If you’d rather skip the cloud, you can upgrade to a separate Sync Module XR or Sync Module 2 and a MicroSD card (up to 256GB) for local backups, all sold separately.

Performance-wise, the Outdoor 4 gets solid marks for its price. PCMag's "Excellent" review notes improved motion detection over earlier models, thanks to the addition of person detection (though that’s also locked behind the subscription). Two-way audio is built in, and you can pair it with Alexa to view the feed, arm or disarm, or control other settings using your voice. Just know that it doesn’t work with Google Assistant or HomeKit. All said, this isn’t a full-on outdoor home security system, but if you’re looking for a low-commitment way to monitor a part of your home, it's a deal that’s hard to ignore.
