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

Asked 3 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!

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

Asked 2 months ago by RonTheTech.

• 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. However, you will not have access to the extended range capabilities, unless you setup the provided XR sync module. I hope that helps, have a great day!
