Q: QuestionCan it be used with the XT 2 system?

Asked 5 years ago by Ronn.

• A:Answer Yes. 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.

Q: QuestionAre there any guidelines or instructions for installation. And do I need anything other than the cameras for installation?

Asked 5 years ago by R0se.

• A:Answer The 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.

Q: QuestionCan the camaras record 24 7 or only records when there i movenent? Can I conect the wireles camaras to the powerr outlet?

Asked 5 years ago by Carlos.

• A:Answer When 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.
