A:AnswerYou are able to manually arm and disarm your Blink System or even individual cameras on your Blink System at anytime through the APP on your compatible mobile device.
A:AnswerWe do have add-on cameras available. The add-on camera would not ship with the sync module and can be added to any existing Blink System. You can have up to 10 Blink devices per sync module as long as they are all within the 100ft operating range of the sync module in any direction. The cameras on the sync module can be in any combination.

The battery-operated Blink cameras are shipped with two non-rechargeable AA 1.5v Lithium batteries and they’re easy to replace when the time comes. Blink camera batteries should be replaced by Energizer Ultimate 1.5v Lithium AA batteries or the equivalent. You can purchase any two AA lithium batteries to replace yours if needed and they can be purchased from nearly any grocery or convenience store for about $2 each.
A:AnswerWe’ve been having temps just below zero the last couple days and mine still work, but sometimes I get a message that it’s offline or something. But they’re still going with -4° temps and -29° wind chills.
A:AnswerThough the Blink system can work with a hotspot, we do not recommend this as hotspots are often variable speed connections and are heavily reliant on location and signal strength. Our system requirements list high speed internet only.
A:AnswerYou are able to adjust your camera settings, view video clips, receive notifications, and access live view through the App on your compatible mobile device from anywhere as long as you have a WIFI or cellular connection. This is important to note for your cellular data plan, watching a five second motion clip without WIFI connection will use about 750KB of your data plan.
A:AnswerThe Blink Outdoor cameras have an operating temperature range of -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C). They are IP-65 rated to ensure that the water-resistant unit delivers clear, HD quality video no matter the forecast.
By placing the camera outside of the operating temperature range you could suffer from poor performance, lag time issues, and quickly draining battery life as a result. This would also void our warranty as well.
A:AnswerThe new Blink Outdoor Kits/Systems are currently shipping with the sync module 2. This Blink Outdoor 5-Camera kit would ship with 5 Blink Outdoor cameras and the sync module 2.
