Key Features

• Compatibility: Built for the Blink Outdoor 4 camera so connectors and cable length are aimed at typical outdoor mounting scenarios.
• Built-in battery: The integrated battery smooths out charging and provides a stable power source even when sunlight is variable.
• High-efficiency cells: Monocrystalline silicon increases charging efficiency so the camera recharges faster, even in indirect light.
• Weatherproof design: IP65 rating and a rubber plug on the USB-C cable protect the connection from rain and snow for reliable outdoor use.
• Long cable and 360 bracket: The 13.12 ft cable and adjustable mount help position the panel for optimal sun exposure and flexible camera placement.
• Energy savings: Continuous solar conversion reduces reliance on disposable batteries and lowers ongoing power costs.

Who It's For

This product is ideal for Blink Outdoor 4 owners who want a low-effort, renewable power source for cameras mounted in yards, driveways, or other outdoor locations where frequent battery changes are inconvenient. It suits users who need durable hardware that can withstand rain and snow and those seeking a greener alternative to disposable batteries.

It is less suitable for people who need fully off-grid performance in heavily shaded locations where solar exposure is minimal, or for users who prefer a direct wired AC power solution instead of a solar setup. Also note the cameras internal battery should be removed before connecting the panel.
