A:AnswerHello Cody and thank you for asking this question. The white device included in this bundle is the Blink Sync Module Core. The Sync module is required for the Blink Outdoor 4 cameras and helps up to ten Blink cameras connect to Wi-Fi, saving battery life and enhancing the application experience. I hope this answers your question and that you have a great day.
A:AnswerHello Otto, thank you for your question. No, a Blink Outdoor 4 does not require a subscription for basic functions like live view and motion alerts, but you do need a Blink Sync Module 2 to save recorded clips locally to a USB drive instead of using cloud storage. While you can use the camera without a subscription, you'll have limited access to advanced features such as cloud video recording, person detection, and extended cloud storage, which require a paid subscription. I hope that helps, have a great day!
