Q: QuestionWill this detect outdoor motion through a window?

Asked 6 years ago by Enchilados.

• A:Answer I do not recommend using any surveillance camera through a window because it disables the night vision from working due to the glass reflecting the Infared Light back at the camera basically blinding it. My advice is purchase the Blink XT2 outdoor units for that type of surveillance.

Q: QuestionWill this device work in Manila, Philippines where the power outlet is 220v? Will the online viewing work as well?

Asked 6 years ago by DadWatch.

• A:Answer The Blink system would theoretically work in the Philippines assuming you got the correct power adapter, however we do not currently offer a local server to support the system. This means that you could suffer from poor performance, lag time issues, and quickly draining battery life as a result. This would void our warranty as well.
