Dear squarebomb, Thank you for your question about the Blink Sync Module XR. If you're not using Outdoor 4 cameras, the Sync Module XR may not be worth the extra cost over the Sync Module 2. Here's why: The main advantage of the Sync Module XR is its Extended Range feature, which works exclusively with Outdoor 4 cameras (up to 2 cameras at a time, providing up to 400ft range). Since you mentioned you're not using Outdoor 4 cameras, you wouldn't benefit from this key feature. Both modules offer similar core functionality: Compatible with all Blink cameras (Mini, Indoor, Outdoor 3rd Gen, Video Doorbell, etc.) Support up to 10 Blink cameras Enable local storage without a subscription Allow scheduling and group arming of devices Key differences: Sync Module XR: Uses microSD card slot for storage, USB-C power port, Extended Range for Outdoor 4 only Sync Module 2: Uses USB 2.0 Type-A for storage (sold separately), USB-A power port Bottom line: Since you have Blink Mini 2 and Mini Pan-Tilt cameras (based on your setup), the Sync Module 2 would provide all the functionality you need at a lower price point. The XR's premium feature (Extended Range) only works with Outdoor 4 cameras, so you'd be paying extra for a feature you can't use. I hope this information helps. Have a great day!
