A:AnswerHello Di, thank you for your question. No, you do not need to own an Amazon Alexa device to use the Blink Outdoor 4; it functions independently with the Blink mobile app for basic features like live view and motion alerts. While Alexa integration offers voice control and other smart features, the camera can be fully set up and used with a compatible smartphone or tablet without requiring any Alexa-enabled devices. I hope that helps, have a great day!
A:AnswerOnly records the clips for past views. You can watch live at any time. Please be aware that after free trial you need a subscription to see any clips
A:AnswerYes they say you can do that however, I am not tech savvy enough to know if you can immediately see clips
Unfortunately, I will need subscription because the account is being shared to keep an eye on elderly parent
A:AnswerHello Jeff,
The Outdoor 4 Camera's will not connect directly to a Monitor. They are only able to be viewed through a smart device such as a Smartphone, Tablet, or Smart TV. You would be able to view the live feed via a monitor that had an HDMI Port that you could plug an Amazon Fire Stick in to. Using the Amazon Fire Stick, or any Smart TV which is Alexa enabled, you would be able to pull up the feed and view it on a monitor or TV.
I hope this answers your question!
A:AnswerBlink currently integrates with both IFTTT and Alexa Smart Home. Certain devices have Person Detection available (only with a subscription plan): https://support.blinkforhome.com/en_US/using-your-camera/person-detection
A:AnswerHello Dawsotr and thank you for your question! The Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless starts recording approximately 5-10 seconds when it senses motion and you can change the sensitivity of the motion alerts/recording. The clips are generally 5-60 seconds in length with a retrigger period between 10-60 seconds (as dictated by the user). In order to view recorded events, subscribe to Blink Subscription Plan. Hope this helps! Have a great day!
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!
