A:AnswerThe Blink System/Kits do come with the cameras and the sync module. The add-on cameras are just the cameras to be added to any existing Blink System and would not ship with the sync module.
A:AnswerYes. Plus, if adding Blink Indoor and Outdoor cameras to an existing Blink system that has been activated on or before 4/15/20, you will be grandfathered into your current free cloud storage model in the Blink app. Systems activated after 4/15/20 will receive motion alerts and be able to enter Live View for free, with the option to access video recordings in the Blink app through a cloud storage subscription. Local Storage options are available with the Sync Module 2 and a removable USB storage drive.
A:AnswerThe Blink Outdoor cameras record audio as well as video on the motion clips and you can also access the two-way audio within the live view mode of the camera within the APP on your mobile device.
A:AnswerThe Blink cameras have a field of view of 110 degrees - in the daytime, they provide enough visibility to identify an individual’s facial features that is 20ft away, recognize a person that is 32ft away, and beyond that depends on exact lighting conditions. At night, they provide visibility up to 20ft away depending on exact conditions. The range of the motion sensor is up to 15-20ft depending on exact conditions.
A:AnswerYou get the sync module with the 5 cameras. It doesn't use a SD card. You can use a USB storage port to plug into the sync module to store the videos on. It will take up to the 258 size if you like.
A:AnswerThe cameras don't really come with any detailed instructions, As long as you can install the Blink app on your phone, and connect it to the Sync Module, you should be able to record and view the clips. You'll also need a screwdriver to get the cameras attached to wherever you're installing them. Hint: you won't be able to speak with anyone that the camera notices, unless you're in live view.
A:AnswerThe sync module 2 is currently shipping with all new Blink Indoor and Blink Outdoor kits/systems. So, yes the sync module 2 would ship with this Blink Outdoor 1-camera system.
A:AnswerWhen armed, the Blink cameras record clips based on motion detection only. The Blink cameras do not offer continuous recording though you can leave the system armed for motion detection for any interval of time.
The USB port on the back of the camera can be used with a Micro USB cable and power adapter (not included with your camera) to power your cameras rather than using batteries (for proper safety only use 5V/1A USB power adapters).
Do note: The Blink Outdoor cameras feature a rubberized cover over the USB port. Removing this cover makes the camera no longer weatherproof. Furthermore, we cannot warranty devices connected to unreliable, third party power sources, or when weather protection is removed; therefore, it is important to have all devices kept indoors when connected to a power source through the USB port.
