Q: What is the maximum number of Blink devices that this Sync Module can control?
A: The Blink Sync Module XR can control up to 10 Blink devices.
Q: Is it worth getting the XR vs the module 2 if i’m not using the outdoor 4 cameras?
A: Dear squarebomb, Thank you for your question about the Blink Sync Module XR. If you're not using Outdoor 4 cameras, the Sync Module XR may not be worth the extra cost over the Sync Module 2. Here's why: The main advantage of the Sync Module XR is its Extended Range feature, which works exclusively with Outdoor 4 cameras (up to 2 cameras at a time, providing up to 400ft range). Since you mentioned you're not using Outdoor 4 cameras, you wouldn't benefit from this key feature. Both modules offer similar core functionality: Compatible with all Blink cameras (Mini, Indoor, Outdoor 3rd Gen, Video Doorbell, etc.) Support up to 10 Blink cameras Enable local storage without a subscription Allow scheduling and group arming of devices Key differences: Sync Module XR: Uses microSD card slot for storage, USB-C power port, Extended Range for Outdoor 4 only Sync Module 2: Uses USB 2.0 Type-A for storage (sold separately), USB-A power port Bottom line: Since you have Blink Mini 2 and Mini Pan-Tilt cameras (based on your setup), the Sync Module 2 would provide all the functionality you need at a lower price point. The XR's premium feature (Extended Range) only works with Outdoor 4 cameras, so you'd be paying extra for a feature you can't use. I hope this information helps. Have a great day!
Q: Will it work fine with other blink cameras?
A: Hello and thank you for asking this question. The Blink Sync module XR is compatible with all Blink cameras and offers group control and local recording but has extra benefits like extended range only for the Blink outdoor 4 cameras. I hope this answers your question and that you have a great day.
A: The Blink Sync Module XR's new extended range feature is only compatible with the Blink Outdoor 4 camera, it will not apply to the Blink Video Doorbell. With all other cameras that are not the Blink Outdoor 4, the Sync Module XR will function as a normal Sync Module. Building materials such as stucco can interrupt or block a significant amount of signal and this would not change with your Doorbell even if you introduce a Sync Module XR. https://support.blinkforhome.com/en_US/using-sync-module-xr/extended-range
