- Do I need a subscription to use it?
- No. You can record motion clips to a Sync Module 2 with a USB drive and view live video without a plan. Person detection and cloud storage require a subscription.
- How long do the batteries really last?
- Blink rates them at up to two years. Real-world use with frequent motion clips usually brings that down to several months to a year.
- Does it work with Alexa?
- Yes. You can view the live feed on an Echo Show or Fire TV and use Alexa to arm or disarm the camera.
- Can it record continuously?
- No. It records motion-triggered clips only, so it is not a substitute for a wired NVR system.
- Is it better than the original Blink Outdoor?
- Yes for image detail: the 2K sensor is sharper than the original 1080p model. Battery life and app experience are similar.
- What's in the box?
- One camera, a mounting kit, and AA lithium batteries. The Sync Module is sold separately unless bundled.
