Will I need to get a subscription with Amazon to be able to use my wireless blink system null

Question

Hello, Whodat2007! No, a subscription is NOT required to use the Blink Outdoor 4 wireless system. However, what you can do without a subscription is more limited. Here's the breakdown:
What You Get WITHOUT a Subscription (Free)

-Live view — check in on your camera anytime through the Blink app
    -Motion alerts — get notifications on your phone when motion is detected
    -Two-way audio — talk to visitors through the camera
    -Infrared night vision
   - Local storage — save motion clips to a USB drive (with Sync Module 2) or MicroSD card (with Sync Module XR) at no ongoing cost

What You Get WITH a Subscription (Blink Subscription Plan)

-Cloud video storage — save, view, and share recorded motion clips
    -Smart detection — person detection, vehicle detection, pet detection
    -Video descriptions — AI-generated summaries of what happened
    -Clip sharing — easily share clips with others.
------ The system works without a subscription for live view and motion alerts. But if the customer wants to save and review recorded clips, they'll either need:

**A subscription for cloud storage, OR
    **A Sync Module 2 or XR (with USB drive or MicroSD card) for free local storage

If their Blink Outdoor 4 bundle comes with the Sync Module Core (which is most common now), they won't be able to save clips without a subscription unless they purchase a Sync Module 2 or XR separately. I hope this helps!

Answer

I do not have a subscription. I chose to use local storage (flash drive).  Works great for me.
