- Does the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ need a subscription?
- No for live view and motion alerts. Person detection and cloud clip storage need a Blink subscription. You can store clips locally with a Sync Module 2 and a USB drive instead.
- How long do the batteries last?
- Blink rates them for up to two years with typical use. Heavy motion traffic and frequent live viewing shorten that considerably, so keep spare AA lithium batteries on hand.
- Is it better than the original Blink doorbell?
- Yes on image quality: 2K versus 1080p, with the same battery-powered, wire-free design. If you already own the original and are happy with it, the upgrade is mostly about sharper video.
- Does it work with Alexa?
- Yes. You can view the live feed on Echo Show screens and get announcements through Alexa. It does not work with Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
- What is in the box?
- The doorbell, mounting bracket and screws, and batteries. A chime and a Sync Module are not included and are sold separately.
- Can it be hardwired?
- No. It is battery-only, so it will not run off existing doorbell wiring or a transformer.
