About this deal

The Blink Video Doorbell uses the same mobile app (available for Android and iOS) as the Blink Indoor and Blink Outdoor cameras. It appears on the home screen in a dedicated panel with a still image of the last captured event alongside video and snapshot buttons. Tap the video button to launch a live stream with Save, Discard, and Tap to Talk buttons. The XT, XT2 and 1st Gen Indoor cameras are considered Legacy devices and automatically receive 7,200 seconds (120 minutes) of free cloud storage in lieu of having local storage access. While the Blink Sync Module 1 is compatible with all devices as a hub, it does not offer local storage for any of the cameras. Can A Blink Camera Work Without A Sync Module? If your module is showing a flashing green light, it means that you are not correctly connected to the internet. We have a complete article on what to do when it is blinking green. Other Blink Sync Module Lights Meanings

The Blink Mini is the only camera I use inside. I don’t want it to record clips and I’m just using it for live view, however, I do want to record my outdoor cameras. Not only can I achieve this by keeping it on a separate “system” in the Blink App, but I can also keep my outdoor cameras on a different schedule. Without the Sync Module 2, the doorbell connects directly to your Wi-Fi network and allows a live view immediately after it’s triggered by motion or a button press. With the Sync Module, you can initiate a connection from the app and watch live video at any time. In case a smartphone alert isn’t enough, the Blink Doorbell can be connected to an in-house chime box. When the button is pushed, a chime will sound. More than that, the Blink app provides constant access to the camera’s live feed. This tends to be plenty for most houses, but you may need to get creative with outdoor cameras on large properties. For instance, possibly adding a WiFi extender coupled with a second Sync Module in an outbuilding. Which Blink Cameras Are Compatible With Which Sync ModuleThe Blink Mini, Blink Wired Floodlight and the Blink Video Doorbell can both operate independently without a Sync Module. You will have slightly limited functionality, though – especially without a Blink Subscription Plan. If none of these options work, you might want to give support a call. They’re like IT wizards and will help you out in no time. But before you do, ensure you’ve tried all these steps, so you don’t look like a total tech novice. Keeps Going Offline Both, the Blink Sync Module 1 and the Blink Sync Module 2 are compatible as a hub with any Blink camera. Your only limitation is that older generation Blink cams (XT, XT2 and the 1st Gen Indoor camera) aren’t able to make use of local storage.

The Sync Module connects automatically to your Blink Doorbell when added to the same system in the Blink app. This module makes it easy to set up as many as ten Blink devices together.

Easy Installation, Strong Video

The Sync Module allows the doorbell to manage its network details and commands, and it can also store recordings on a USB drive without the need for a Blink subscription. With the Sync Module, Blink video doorbell users can experience better battery life as well.

So, while some Blink devices technically don’t need a Sync Module, it is beneficial to have one. Personally, I have a Blink Mini I use as a stand-alone on a separate Blink System and my other cameras are attached to the Sync Module 2. Unlike some other doorbells, the Blink Doorbell can function independently. When properly set up, your Blink Doorbell will alert you on your smartphone via your Wi-Fi network whenever someone pushes the button. When motion is detected in the camera’s area of view, an alert will be sent to you if you have motion detection alerts activated.

If this does not resolve any issues, you can try using the reset button. The hard factory reset button can be found next to the flash drive’s USB port. You will need a paper clip to press the button. Hold it down for 5 seconds, and you should see a red flashing light, then blue flashing lights, and then a solid green light. Blink Sync Module Red Light If this does work, the next step is to ensure that the wifi connection is actually dropping and not something else causing the disconnect issue. To do this, I recommend that you first disconnect from wifi on the module itself and reconnect to it. Setting those up isn’t as straightforward as it should be, either and – oddly – smart speakers with a display won’t show the live feed automatically when someone calls. You can display the feed by asking your smart display to “Show my … camera”, but by the time you’ve done that, you might have missed your caller anyway. The Video Doorbell’s battery life can also be extended for up to 2-years with a Sync Module or wired connection (using your existing doorbell wiring).
