Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am very much invested into the Blink ecosystem of security cameras, both indoor and outdoor, including our doorbell as well. I have found that for the most part, overall, they are a relatively good system, with clear pictures, videos/recordings, sound, and movement detection. We have a setup of some indoor ones inside our house, and Outdoor 4 ones in the front of our house and in our backyard. When I am away from home and access the app to look at the indoor cameras, it is pretty instantaneous when I tap on each of the cameras to when the live feed comes up on the screen. However, when I do this to access the outdoor cameras there is a bit of a lull and wait until the live feed finally pops up. This is why I decided to try out this system hub to extended the range of our home WiFi. The end result—it really does work, and it works well. Now when I tap on the outdoor cameras it is on par with the indoor cameras in that the live feed comes up almost instantaneously with no waiting. Setup is very easy within the Blink app; it is exactly like setting up the original (non-extended range) sync module. It took me only a couple of minutes from start to finish. I did not try out the local storage (which can be achieved with a MicroSD card purchased separately) because I subscribe to the yearly Blink Plus plan, mainly for the unlimited supported devices and unlimited cloud storage. If you have the Blink Outdoor 4 cameras (which are the only cameras that this sync module is compatible with), this blink sync module XR is well worth it.

XR model keeps going offline and did not have this issue with old module. The only option is to reboot, not very useful when away from home.
