Blink’s newest hub takes its security cameras beyond Wi-Fi
Blink’s outdoor camera can now use its new long-range protocol.
The third generation of its system hub, the XR can extend the range of its battery-powered Blink Outdoor 4 cameras up to 400 feet, thanks to a new proprietary long-range radio embedded in its custom-built silicon. Based on Blink’s tests, the XR protocol can penetrate one exterior wall to cover up to 400 feet, but video quality suffers the further you go. This, combined with the new long-range capability, makes them handy for placement at the extreme corners of your property to monitor a shed, driveway, chicken coop, or any place Wi-Fi doesn't reach.
