Q: QuestionCan you use it at two different locations?

Asked 5 years ago by Darby.

• A:Answer You can certainly split the cameras up from a 5-camera system to use in different locations as long as you were to purchase an additional sync module and both locations had wifi.

Q: QuestionWould this camera be suitable for a boat? I am concerned about vandalism and reckless boaters at our marina.

Asked 5 years ago by Kim.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - XT2 1-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 1080p Surveillance System - Black

• A:Answer This may be possible since the Blink cameras are battery operated, however the Blink System would need access to internet/wifi and the the sync module needed to operate the Blink cameras would need to be plugged into a normal wall outlet and within 100ft of the cameras at all time. The sync module does come with a USB and correct power adapter. They are 110/220V compatible. It is also possible to plug the Sync Module into a USB but could be unreliable. Make sure your USB is at least 5W/1AMP or it will not power.

Q: QuestionI want to install outdoor cameras 800 feet from my office wi fi. Would I be able to amplify the camera's signal to travel that far?

Asked 5 years ago by Robert.

• A:Answer Assuming a fairly standard home (single building, no unusually dense construction materials), the Sync Module should be able to communicate with Blink camera units up to 100ft away in any direction. As far as how far away the system can be from your wireless router would depend on the strength of your internet/wifi, we recommend at least three bars of signal strength for optimal performance.

Q: QuestionCan the cameras be programmed to be activated on a schedule? Or only at night? Can they be deactivated from the App?

Asked 5 years ago by Sparky.

• A:Answer Yes. You can schedule the system to turn on and off at certain times by day. You can also turn it on or off from your phone. Generally, I turn it on at night automatically at my bedtime. Then I turn it off when I get up because I do have a camera inside, thinking that if I get an alarm from outside, then an alarm from inside, I will have time to be prepared.
