A:AnswerThe 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. Simply open the battery compartment, take out the old batteries, and insert the new set. 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:AnswerThe Blink Outdoor camera is compatible with local storage functionality, which allows you to back up videos in your home to the Sync Module 2 when you insert a USB flash drive. Additionally, you can use the Battery Expansion Pack-coming soon- with Outdoor, to allow your camera to run on four batteries instead of two, extending battery life by up to two extra years.
A:AnswerYes. I have the XT sync module and I bought this camera and it connects easily just like the original cameras that came with the XT system. The newer camera does have a couple additional features which is kinda cool.
A:AnswerFor the interior of a garage, I think it could be either of the 2 options, if it is an indoor camera, as long as it is protected from water is enough. On occasion, with Blink cameras, I also struggle to connect. It seems to me that sometimes it can be poor WiFi range.
