Top 5 Best Blink Camera Accessories by Wasserstein

Wasserstein Solar Panel for Blink Outdoor & Outdoor 4

Battery management is one of the biggest challenges Blink users face. If your Blink Outdoor or Outdoor 4 camera is mounted high on a post, wall, or fence, frequent battery changes quickly become inconvenient.

The Wasserstein Solar Panel solves this problem by providing continuous power using sunlight. Designed specifically for Blink Outdoor 4, Blink Outdoor 3, XT2, and XT cameras, it includes an internal battery that stores energy for cloudy days.

Why it improves your setup:

  • Keeps your camera powered without constant battery swaps

  • Ensures uninterrupted access through the Blink app

  • Includes a 360-degree mount to position the panel for maximum light exposure

  • Comes with a long, weatherproof cable for flexible installation

For outdoor users who want a truly set-it-and-forget-it experience, this accessory dramatically improves reliability and peace of mind.

Wasserstein Adjustable Metal Wall Mount

Camera placement has a direct impact on motion detection, night vision effectiveness, and how much useful movement your camera captures. A poor angle can mean missed alerts or false notifications.

The Wasserstein Adjustable Metal Wall Mount offers secure attachment and precise control. Made from rust-resistant aluminum, it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Key benefits:

  • 360-degree swivel and 90-degree tilt for optimal view

  • Allows mounting on walls, ceilings, posts, or soffits

  • Helps position cameras so movement travels across the field of view (where Blink motion detection works best)

  • Much sturdier than adhesive-only options

This mount is essential if you want to improve accuracy and get the most useful footage possible.

Wasserstein 3-in-1 Wired Smart Floodlight, Charger & Mount

If you want to dramatically improve night vision and security presence, lighting matters. The Wasserstein 3-in-1 Wired Smart Floodlight combines three essential functions: light, power, and mounting.

This accessory delivers up to 2000 lumens of motion-triggered light, continuously powers your Blink camera, and allows you to fine-tune camera angles after installation.

Why it stands out:

  • Eliminates battery changes entirely

  • Improves night vision clarity and color visibility

  • Acts as a visible deterrent to unwanted activity

  • Adjustable motion detection range (up to 33 ft)

  • App-controlled brightness and schedules

For homeowners who want stronger security at night, this is one of the most impactful Blink accessories available.

Wasserstein AA Lithium Battery Extension Pack for Blink Outdoor 4

Not every camera location has access to sunlight or an outlet. In these cases, battery efficiency becomes critical.

The Wasserstein Blink Rechargeable Battery Pack doubles battery capacity by allowing four AA batteries instead of two. That means longer runtime, fewer interruptions, and more reliable coverage.

Why users love it:

  • Extends battery life by up to 100%

  • Reduces how often you need to access the camera physically

  • Weatherproof and built for outdoor use

  • Maintains full placement flexibility

It’s a simple accessory that makes a big difference, especially for cameras mounted high or far from easy access.

Wasserstein Bird Feeder Camera Case (Blink-Compatible)

Not every Blink camera is used purely for security. Some users want to monitor wildlife, backyards, or unique outdoor activity.

The Wasserstein Ring Camera Bird Feeder Case transforms your Blink Outdoor camera into a smart bird feeder, offering a close-up view of nature while keeping your camera protected.

What makes it unique:

  • Holds up to 26.4 oz of bird feed

  • Protects your camera from rain, wind, and debris

  • Can be mounted with straps or a metal mount

  • Compatible with solar panels for extended outdoor use

It’s a fun, creative way to expand how you use your Blink camera without sacrificing protection or performance.

How to Mount and Position Blink Cameras for Best Results

Accessories are only effective if your camera is placed correctly. Proper mounting improves motion detection, video clarity, and reliability.

Best Practices for Placement

Blink cameras detect movement best when motion travels across the camera’s field of view rather than straight toward it. Camera placement also helps your settings work more effectively, reducing false alerts.

Step-by-Step Placement Process

  1. Hold the camera by hand in the desired location

  2. Use the Blink app to refresh the camera thumbnail and check the view

  3. Adjust until you’re satisfied with coverage

  4. Mark the location with a pencil or masking tape

  5. Secure the mount using the provided screws

Mounting Orientation Matters

  • Vertical surfaces (wall or post): camera connects directly to the volcano mount

  • Horizontal surfaces (ceiling or shelf): use a right-angle adapter

  • Specialty mounts like adjustable wall mounts, corner mounts, and gutter mounts help fine-tune angles

Once mounted, gently tilt and rotate the camera by hand, then return to the app to confirm coverage and make final adjustments.

Sync Modules, Range, and Storage Explained

The sync module is the backbone of many Blink systems. It connects your cameras to Wi-Fi, extends range, and enables additional features.

Why Sync Modules Matter

  • Sync Module 2 allows you to add more cameras without replacing your main hub

  • Enables local storage using a USB flash drive (no monthly fees)

  • Improves system reliability and response time

Extending Range with Sync Module XR

For large homes or outdoor areas, the Blink Sync Module XR extends the range of Blink Outdoor 4 cameras up to 400 feet, ensuring stable access even when cameras are far from your router.

Improving Night Vision, Power, and Reliability

Accessories also help address common challenges like poor lighting, limited power, and weather exposure.

  • Floodlights improve night vision and act as deterrents

  • Solar panels and wired power solutions reduce maintenance

  • Silicone covers and weatherproof mounts protect cameras

  • Magnetic mounts and no-drill options make installation easy

Together, these accessories improve the overall experience and reliability of your Blink system.
