Q: QuestionIf I buy the Blink video doorbell with the Sync Module 2 then it will record video without a subscription, correct? Will the Sync 2 also capture video from another Blink outdoor camera?

Asked 4 years ago by Donnie.

• A:Answer Hi there, The sync module itself does not provide storage, but if you plug a USB flash drive into it then clips will get stored there. That will also work for the outdoor cameras. If you don't use a Subscription for cloud storage or a USB for local storage you won't be able to record videos with either device.
