Definitely not dumb questions. I did some research on Blink and I'd suggest a different route. From what I've seen, the capture is very slow and you don't get much of a clip.
I currently use BI with a number of Amcrest cams like these and these.
My opinion is you absolutely don't need 4k. Unless you have 4k monitors, you won't see a difference
How will it lower the value?
I purchased 8 Amrest wifi HD cams and put them around my house in various places. The only thing needed is an outlet to plug them into.

They are not GREAT, but they are good enough. I would prefer a 1080 camera, but their 1080 offerings are not that good.
I also purchased Blue Iris software and have it running on a PC in the house. It's pretty cool, although takes a little time to setup.
The only "gotcha" I ran into was that having all 8 cameras on wifi made my entire wifi run really slow. I happened to have an old wifi router, so I just plugged it in and setup a second network and ran all the cameras through that, and then into my regular network via CAT-5, and all my other wifi devices on the original router, and everything is smooth as can be.
Simply put, it comes down to megapixels and number of scan lines. A 3mp camera will outperform a 1mp every time. And a camera that outputs 1080p will provide a larger clearer picture than a system that is limited to 720p.
The down side is that these cameras create large video files. So you need a good home network to move the data, and storage for all those feeds. A 3 TB drive should handle most homeowners needs.
Here is a capable camera for the homeowner. There are hundreds more to choose from, of course:
