The Blink Outdoor 2K+ offers crisp 2K video, color night vision and the same fire-and-forget two-year battery life, all for not much money. The sting is that Blink has swapped the old Sync Module 2 for a new Sync Module Core that strips out local USB storage, nudging you firmly towards a subscription to do anything useful with the footage. The hardware is a step up, but the strings attached are a step back.
