Q: Questionhow do they mount to wall

Asked 5 years ago by larry.

• A:Answer Should you wish to place your Blink Outdoor cameras anywhere other than a flat surface we do ship each camera with a mount and mounting hardware screws, noting the use of the included screws would create two holes in the surface.

Q: QuestionWhat is the range between camera to box

Asked 5 years ago by DavidE.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - 3 Outdoor (3rd Gen) Wireless 1080p Security System with up to two-year battery life - Black

• A:Answer Assuming a fairly standard home (single building, no unusually dense construction materials), the Sync Module should be able to communicate with Blink camera units up to 100ft away in any direction. As far as how far away the system can be from the wireless router that would depend on the strength of your internet/WIFI, we recommend at least three bars of signal strength for optimal performance.

Q: QuestionAre these battery powered only?

Asked 5 years ago by Ees.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - 3 Outdoor (3rd Gen) Wireless 1080p Security System with up to two-year battery life - Black

• A:Answer The Blink cameras themselves are battery powered however the sync module needed to operate the Blink Outdoor cameras would need to be plugged into a normal wall outlet at all times. 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). 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.

Q: QuestionIf free trial ends, no cloud subscription but using sync module 2 with USB, will the app video sharing and saving function disappear? What other app function will be lost compared with having cloud subscription?

Asked 5 years ago by Go604.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - 3 Outdoor (3rd Gen) Wireless 1080p Security System with up to two-year battery life - Black

• A:Answer Both local and cloud storage allow you to use your Blink app and cameras in the same way. The only difference is where your videos are saved. Note when using the local storage option only you will not be able to save any live view sessions.

Asked 5 years ago by Timg.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - 2 Outdoor (3rd Gen) Wireless 1080p Security System with up to two-year battery life - Black

• A:Answer You can only have one username/email address and password per account however, you can download our app to as many compatible iOS, Android and Amazon Fire devices as you’d like, so the entire household can receive alerts or check in at home. When launching the app on additional devices, please use the sign in option to access the account you created on your first Blink connected mobile device. You will not have to go through the setup process again. Please note you will not be able to use Live View from multiple devices at the same time.
