- Does the Blink Outdoor 2K need a subscription?
- No. With a Sync Module you can record to a USB drive and skip the subscription. Cloud plans add features but are optional.
- Do I need the Sync Module to use it?
- Yes for local storage and for managing multiple cameras. The camera can run on its own for live view and alerts, but you lose local recording.
- How long do the batteries last?
- Blink rates them at up to two years. Heavy live viewing and frequent motion clips shorten that considerably.
- Is it better than the original Blink Outdoor?
- It doubles the resolution to 2K and keeps the same battery life and app. If you already own the older model, the sharper video is the main reason to upgrade.
- Does it work with Alexa and Google Home?
- It works well with Alexa, including live view on Echo Show screens. Google Home support is limited compared with Ring or Arlo.
- Can it tell a person from a passing car?
- No. It has basic motion detection only, so you will get alerts for animals, cars and moving foliage.
