Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell

A: Hi Silvana, thanks for reaching out about Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell. Installation is easy, especially wire-free. You don't need an existing chime. You can use the app without a subscription for basic features like live view and notifications. A subscription or a Sync Module 2 with local storage is highly recommended for video recording and other advanced features. If you're looking for basic alerts and live view, you're good to go without a subscription. If you want to review recorded events, you'll either need a Sync Module 2 with a USB drive or a subscription plan. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi Silvana, thank you for your question. Here are the basic steps to install a Blink video doorbell: Download the Blink app and create an account. Insert two AA lithium batteries into the doorbell. Add the doorbell to your Blink app by scanning the QR code. Mount the bracket and attach doorbell to mounting bracket and secure with security screw. It does not require an existing doorbell chime to setup and it is optional. Everything is provided in the box for easy setup. You do not need to pay for a subscription unless you want to save motion event recordings. You can also add a sync module 2 (sold separately) to save recordings. I hope this helps, have a great day!

A: Hi LClay, Thanks for reaching out about the Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell. You are correct, as long as it is connected to a Wi-Fi network you will be able to use the- two-way talk feature as well as get motion alerts. The doorbell also comes in a bundle with a sync module that will allow you to access the live mode feature at anytime without a motion alert. I hope this helps. Have a great day!

A: The Blink Video Doorbell (similar to the other Blink device models) just needs to remain connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and you will be able to access it remotely on the Blink app. The Doorbell is unique in that it has something called "Event Response Mode", it automatically enters this mode when it is installed standalone- meaning it is neither hardwired to a compatible transformer, nor connected to a system that has a Blink Sync Module. If it is in Event Response Mode, it limits the ability to perform "cold" live views, which just means you cannot initiate a live view whenever you want. You would have to wait for an "event" or motion, and then have sixty seconds to interact with the notification to open a live view. If you already have a Blink system and have a Sync Module installed and simply add the Doorbell to that system on your app, or hardwire it to a transformer (16-24VAC) the Doorbell will not be in Event Response Mode, and you will be able to perform live views at anytime even if there is no motion detected at that time.

A: Hi Vizo, thanks for reaching out about Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell To better understand your individual needs, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi Vizo! The Blink Video Doorbell is designed to be mounted to a door or wall, not installed in place of a peephole. If you're unable to permanently mount your Blink Video Doorbell, for example if you're renting and don't want to damage the door, there are door mounts available online that will let you keep it in place without screws or adhesive. I just looked up "blink doorbell door mount" and a bunch popped up available online. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
