Hi there! You can use local storage by plugging a USB drive into a Sync Module 2 or a micro SD card into a Sync Module XR, however this model doesn't come with either. This particular listing is for adding a doorbell to an existing Blink system that already features a Sync Module. If you'd like the Blink Video Doorbell you see here, I'd suggest picking up a separate Sync Module 2 to use the USB storage. If you run into any issues setting things up, you can always reach out via the app for some help. Personally I had to eject the USB drive in the app and re-insert it once or twice before things started working properly. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can use local storage with the Blink Video Doorbell, but not directly via an SD card—it requires a compatible Sync Module. To enable local storage for your Blink Video Doorbell, you'll need to use one of Blink's Sync Modules, which act as a hub for managing storage and connectivity: Sync Module 2: Supports USB flash drives (not SD cards). You can plug in a USB drive (1–256 GB, formatted in ExFAT, FAT32, or FAT) to store video clips locally. Sync Module XR (newer model): Supports microSD cards for local video storage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The sync module has an SD card slot. However, from my experience you need a service plan to record to it locally and save video clips. I could see a service plan to save to a cloud, but locally on an SD card you would think it would save short clips or thumbnail images.
