Q: QuestionWhy are you calling it wireless?

Asked 6 years ago by HPK.

• A:Answer Wireless in the title seems to be a mistaken use of terminology. The title should not really say wireless since it already says it's WiFi (which is what the wireless in this title means). This camera does require a power connection as it is not battery powered.

Q: QuestionWill free storage be grandfathered in with my 3 year old blink module?

Asked 3 years ago by Traveler.

• A:Answer All existing customers who have an account created on or before 4/15/2020 will continue to receive free cloud storage on all devices added to their account going forward – this includes Mini, and Blink Indoor, Outdoor and Doorbell. Separately, XT, XT2, and legacy Indoor cams will continue to have free storage. Accounts created after 4/15/2020 will receive free cloud storage on any legacy device (1st Gen Indoor, XT or XT2), but any Mini, new Blink Indoor, Outdoor cameras or Doorbell added to that same account will require either local storage via the Sync Module 2 or a subscription for cloud storage to save videos. If you do not subscribe to the Blink subscription plan, you can still enable motion alerts that notify you if your cameras detect movement, however, without a subscription this notification will not trigger a video clip recording but you can still live view. A subscription is not required for local storage. Local USB storage will still be available for no charge. You will still be able to record and do everything the same as with Cloud storage except live view record. No matter which storage system you use, your clips will be recorded & uploaded to the proper place. If you're using local storage they go to your USB stick, subscription cloud storage would send it to the cloud. The only time that a motion notification/motion event won't record a clip is when there is no storage system in place. Since there is nowhere to send the clips without storage, the clips don't get recorded.
