QuestionDoes it require a subscription? Where are video files stored?
Asked 4 years ago by Buzz.
- Answer Hi there, A subscription is not required for the Blink video doorbell. A subscription is only required if you wish to use cloud storage for the video files. The other storage option would be to use a Sync Module 2 along with your doorbell, and plug a USB flash drive into the Sync Module 2. This method will allow you to save clips locally to that USB and view them from your phone.

QuestionDo you have to have the sync module2 for your doorbell to work on Wi-Fi or wire-free
Asked 4 years ago by Boss.
- Answer No but it puts itself into "event response" meaning that it only records motion or records when the button is pressed. This is because the doorbell at idle when just on battery isnt constantly connected to the internet for battery saving puropses. Features like live view is disabled untill you get a sync module and or wire it in.

QuestionCan the doorbell be answered by more than one smart phone, example there are two people in our family with smart phones that might need to answer the doorbell
Asked 4 years ago by Redneck.
- Answer Hi there, When the doorbell is answered by one user, then no other users will be able to view it from their phone at the same time. Since it is a live view, only one user can live view a single camera at once.

QuestionIs the Blink doorbell like the ring, im considering in one are they same or different?
Asked 4 years ago by Yanni.
- Answer I've had the ring doorbell first generation and 3rd generation they work great but the thing I didn't like about Ring doorbell is the time it took to retrigger another motion alert I purchase the blink doorbell and loved it much better than ring doorbell the retrigger time for a motion is only like 10 seconds for the blink doorbell I would definitely recommend blink doorbell over the ring doorbell before you purchase the blink doorbell you may need to buy they're sync modular for the blink camera system I've already had one so I'm not for sure if the doorbell works without one also if you have any blink security cameras they also have an accessory flood light that works great with the outdoor cameras

QuestionBlink video door bell does it detect you even if you don't press the door bell button? Or how it works to notify you? Would you receive alert notification if some one is at door just standing?
Asked 4 years ago by SIDEBYSIDE.
- Answer Yes, you can choose to have motion detection on and or just doorbell. They both work great. Motion detection is so good on it that it captured a video of my neighbors cat running by chasing a squirrel lol

QuestionDoes this doorbell have 24 hour recording or only records when someone presses the button.
Asked 4 years ago by hiqueen.
- Answer It only records for me when movement activates it and the more you record and use it or the more sensitive the motion detection the faster you’ll burn thru batteries. Also, when you try to set it to ignore an area, it still picks it up and as a results goes off constantly! It literally picks up cars 1/2 a block away faster than it does someone actually up on my porch!!

QuestionWhat about the chimes what sound does it make if you do not have alexia, and you have a wireless door bell ?
Asked 4 years ago by Crtsr.
- Answer Hello, The Blink Video Doorbell can be connected to powered wiring from a mechanical or digital chime with a transformer rated from 16-24 volts AC, at 50-60Hz (the North American standard). If you choose to use the Doorbell wire-free, the default chime sound will play on the Doorbell whenever the button is pressed. The same sound will notify you on your mobile device.

When launching the app on additional devices, please use the sign in option to access the account you created on your first Blink connected mobile device. You will not have to go through the setup process again. Please note you will not be able to use Live View from multiple devices at the same time. https://support.blinkforhome.com/using-the-blink-app/how-do-i-setup-a-second-or-new-phone"

QuestionWhat is the difference between this model and the sync 2 model? What features don’t I get with model compared to the sync 2 model?
Asked 4 years ago by difference.
- Answer Hi there, The doorbell can function on its own with no sync module. The sync module will help it communicate with the Blink servers and keep it up to date. However, if you set it up without a sync module with just batteries it will end up in Event Response mode.
