Q: QuestionCan my wife and I both access our Blink system to view cameras using our iPhones and the Blink App at the same time? If so, do we both receive notifications and alerts in real time?

Asked 4 months ago by DMC49.

• A:Answer Hi DMC49, Yes, you and your wife can both access your Blink system (including the Blink Outdoor 4 XR cameras) simultaneously using the Blink app on your respective iPhones. Blink allows multiple devices to log in to the same account using the shared email and password. You can install the app on as many phones as needed (up to a high limit like 100 devices), and both of you can view camera feeds, recordings, and manage settings at the same time. Both devices will receive push notifications and alerts simultaneously for motion events, doorbell presses (if applicable), or other triggers. Notifications are sent to every device signed into the account, so you both get them in real time without one overriding the other. You can each enable/disable notifications independently in the app settings on your own phone if needed, but by default, they go to all logged-in devices. Note that while general app access and viewing thumbnails/recordings work simultaneously on multiple devices, live view from a single camera supports multi-client access (up to 5 devices at once sharing the same account). This includes the Outdoor 4 series, so you can both watch the same live feed simultaneously if desired. Older info sometimes mentioned live view limitations, but Blink added Multi-Client Live View support for models like the Outdoor 4. Hope you have a great day.

Q: QuestionWill a Blink Outdoor 3 camera work with this system (not for extended range) ?

Asked 11 months ago by JB.

• A:Answer Hi JB! From the FAQ on Blink's website: "Yes, Sync Module XR is compatible with all Blink cameras. However, Extended Range is available exclusively for up to two Outdoor 4 cameras per Sync Module XR." So the XR Module will work just fine with your Blink Outdoor 3 (at the regular range, like you noted). I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
