The Blink Sync Module XR working to our expections.

Easy to install, it would be nice to handle more than two cameras for extended range,

Very reliable product, would purchase again from best buy

Does really help with that longer range for the blink devices.

I was very pleased with the simplicity of programming and getting the set of 5 cameras on line so quickly and seamlessly. Did have to add an extender module due to the wall thickness in some areas.

Syncs accordingly with microsd card. A little bit slow when loading clips to phone.

Good deal. Upgraded. Definitely better for distance. Thx.

This works great! Had no issues with it. It works well

Really like the extended range for the latest Blink cameras.

Wanted to be able to control all cameras with 1 unit rather than 2. This achieved that, but with some issues. On the XR (extended range) mode, I've had some connectivity issues with some cameras, even though the camera is in line of sight within 50 feet of the module. Restarting/cycling power seems to work, but a hassle to do.

Good from back porch to behind 20x30 metal building, probably reach a lot further.

Works well with our Blink Outdoor 4 Security Cameras.

Worked great so far. You do have to make sure that nothing is in the way or it will lag the connection. Overall it’s doing what is supposed to.

Not real sure of this one the distance doesn’t seem to be as good as I thought it would still working with it

Not much to review just plug it in and that’s it..

It didn't work for me and I had to re-install doorbell system again and was not connecting and had to do it multiple times to uninstall the module and go back to my original settings.

This upgraded blink module seems to add some range and predicted connect-ability after all. I like that you can store your videos directly to the module now having an SD slot is pretty great. It’s only slightly bigger than the last version, but this version has a very welcome USB-C Connection. It will, however no longer fit in my aftermarket all in one plug in the wall solution, but I’ll give them a few weeks to come up with a new design set up was very easy and is exactly the same as setting up the previous version you do have to forget all your cameras and reinstall them each one by one, but for the dependable connection and included range in this next-gen base station, I found the inconvenience to be very much worth it. Build quality also seems a lot sturdier and harder than the last generation and I’ve always appreciated how you don’t need to connect it directly to your router like so many cameras out there. This allows for multiple use cases like even setting one up in your car or boat if you wanted to provided you have the hotspot or router and that is what sets Blink apart.

This new Blink sync module allows the 4th generation of the Blink XT outdoor cameras to be placed further away from it than the previous versions of the sync module. My older cameras are also compatible, but the Blink app knows which cameras can opt into the XR range and which can't--but they all can connect to this new one anyway, just at normal range. There is only a small instruction booklet that comes in the box, the setup just takes a few minutes and was very easy. Provided is an AC adapter and USB-C cable like comes with many devices, I am using it since I have no idea whether the wattage/amperage is unique to it or not. There are two tiny lights on the module to indicate a current wifi connection and the power on. Very simple. I have a grandfathered free Blink account but adding this module starts a free trial of all the perks offered with the Blink Plus Plan. The push notifications indicate whether what the camera sees is a person or vehicle etc. which I think is a feature of the Plus plan. The phone app has new features, not sure if it is due to the trial of the Plus plan or not. In any case this module works great and is very easy to set up and connect cameras to.

I have had the Blink ecosystem for years, so I familiar with the overall product line. I previously have had a couple Blink indoor cams, a couple Blink outdoor cams, and a couple Blink doorbells, and a Blink Sync (not th-s new XR) module. I recently added two Blink Outdoor 4 cameras. I placed one in our pool area and one n the far corner of my yard. I [referr to keep as much of my tech as I can in my "server room" (AKA, my office), but with the new Blink Outdoor4 cams, I placed them on the far oppisite end of where my "server room" was. They were too far away to communicate with my legacy Sync module, so I had to move that module into my wifes office, as it was much closer to the Blink Outdoor 4. I know, not the end of the world, but not having all of my tech in my server room was not optimal for me. When the offer came through to get the Sync XR Module, I jumped on it. After getting the XR module, setup was simple. I set ti up in my techie server room/office and it had no problem reaching the Outdoor 4 camera's. Thanks to the Sync XR, my ADHD has been tempered! I am specifically NOT getting into noting any of the tech spec's, because you can get them from Best Buy or Blinks sites, and also from many of the other great reviewers on here, but I will point out that this odes offer the option for up to a 256 GB MicroSD card. This affords you the option to store and view your video locally, saving you a monthly or annual subscription to the cloud. I personally prefer that option. End of the day, if you have the need, this is an excellent choice.

I already had a small Blink security system for my backyard consisting of an earlier Sync Module and the battery powered Outdoor-4 Floodlight with a battery powered camera attached. This system was installed via the Blink app on my Android phone. I wanted to add a second Sync module with the Blink wired-power floodlight/camera into my existing system to be positioned on the front of my garage. It turned out that the installation of the second Sync module which was the more powerful XR model into my existing system was as simple as my first installation; just use the Blink app and follow the steps. I wanted the second system to be separated from the first so that the first backyard system could use the onboard Sync module storage and my new system could monitor the front of the house and utilize Blink’s ‘Cloud Storage’ option; the app permitted me to keep the two systems separate although under the same app. I could have used the SD card slot to maintain local storage, however I wanted a more independent record of deliveries and other motion detected in front of the house. Blink does offer additional cameras to be purchased separately that I expect to add to my front yard system; which can be configured to my second Sync Module. My newer Sync XR module has many enhancements including a longer range than the prior module and the new module can control up to 10 devices. The Sync XR also has an SD card slot instead of the previous version's USB port; which is a nice upgrade if you opt for local storage so you have no monthly cost. I did like that the Sync XR was packaged very well and the power adapter to plug in, plus the USB power cable were included – nice job Blink people. My experience is that the Blink products connect very easily to your home WiFi. Also let’s say if you have a power outage, when power is restored the Blink devices all come up ‘automagically’ and reconnect on their own. This is a situation I tested, and Blink products worked great. I would highly recommend this well-made and very functional Blink Sync XR Module.
