Q: QuestionDo you have 24x7 monitoring

Asked 3 months ago by RaviR.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - Outdoor 4 XR — Wireless security camera with extended range, up to 400 feet. Sync Module XR included — 6 Cameras - Black

• A:Answer 24/7 notification of motion sensed. Only has capability to record for 5 seconds, so if it's captured a car break-in, it will only record 5 seconds of it before it stops recording even if activity is still taking place right in front of the camera. There is no way to modify that recording time. The camera also cannot record any closer than 10 seconds since the previous 5 that were recorded, resulting in a very choppy thread of video available.

Q: QuestionI already have Outdoor 4 sync module, is this compatible with my sync outdoor 4 system?

Asked 6 months ago by RonTheTech.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - Outdoor 4 XR — Wireless security camera with extended range, up to 400 feet. Sync Module XR included — 4 Cameras - Black

• A:Answer Hello RonTheTech, thank you for your question. Yes, the outdoor 4 sync module is compatible with the Blink Outdoor 4 XR camera, as Blink devices are backward-compatible. You can add the Outdoor 4 XR camera to your existing Outdoor 4 system, and it will work with your current sync module.

Q: QuestionWill the cameras record up to 400 feet, or does the WiFi have to have the range of 400 feet?

Asked 7 months ago by mckay.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - Outdoor 4 XR — Wireless security camera with extended range, up to 400 feet. Sync Module XR included — 2 Cameras - Black

• A:Answer Hi McKay! The range listing is for the distance from the Sync Module XR can be from the Outdoor 4 that's connected to it. For the range they'll detect motion, here's what Blink says on their website: "Blink cameras use either Passive Infrared (PIR) or Pixel Difference Analysis (PDA) to detect motion. Both technologies provide similar motion detection. Blink cameras detect motion best from about 7 to 19 feet (2m to 6m) away, and can respond to motion at 30 feet (10m)." I hope that clears things up, have a great rest of your day!
