A:AnswerYou need to have wifi. You connect the sync module to your router. The cameras run on lithium batteries which are included. You need to download the Blink app to your phone.
A:AnswerYou should be fine. You monitor the system from the App on your cell phone. Cloud storage is across the internet but only when you trigger a recording.
The system works off of the wifi for but I see no conflict with sending / receiving phone calls.
A:AnswerYou could check if the audio is working by using the app while you're near the room with the camera. Simply open the app and press talk, if you can hear yourself, then the parrots are probably ignoring you.
A:AnswerYou can move the mount that comes with the BlinkXT2 to the left and right and up and down. Much easier to position than the original Blink mount.
A:AnswerThey are not hack-proof and small enough to be easily stolen if left too low (for access).
Remember, they have no wires what-so-ever. Power is via batteries. Source is via Wi-Fi.
Just posted my 3 day use assessment in a online review here on Best Buy.
