Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell

A: Does it need to be connected to the wire to work correctly? How is it charged? Do I have to take it out and put it back in to charge it with the cable?

A: Hello! Wi-Fi Network Requirements 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Network 802.11b/g/n. A high-speed internet connection (DSL, Cable, Fiber) with a minimum upload speed of 2 Mbit/sec. IP Configuration: DHCP. Wi-Fi Security: WEP, WPA, WPA2 with TKIP SSID. Note: Blink does not support satellite internet due to high latency issues. I hope this information 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 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: Hi Mom, With the Blink Video Doorbell, you can get alerts when motion is detected or someone presses your video doorbell. You must connect to existing doorbell wiring or pair with a Sync Module (sold separately) to engage live view and two-way audio on demand. You can set it up yourself in minutes with the two included AA lithium batteries then connect to wifi in the app. The Blink Video Doorbell also works with Alexa and you can receive alerts and answer with two-way audio! When wired or paired with a Sync Module, just ask Alexa to answer the front door! Without a Blink Subscription you can see the live view from this doorbell for up to 5 minutes. With a Blink Subscription, you can see live view of the doorbell for up to 90 minutes continuously. Hope that helps!

A: Hi mom, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell. The Blink app shows a notification when the doorbell is pressed or motion is detected. You can tap notifications to enter a Live View session with two-way talk. When the doorbell is in Event Response, it stops listening for your tap after 60 seconds, to save batteries. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hello Bb! As the MyTGTtech associate mentioned, it does in fact have both options. It comes equipped with 2 AA Lithium-ion batteries that are replaceable that you can get up to 1 year of battery life from (up to years if paired with a Blink Sync Module 2). It does also work with existing doorbell wiring as well. It is also a very simple self install, especially if you are using it strictly wireless. Thank you so much for your question and I hope you have an amazing day!

A: Hi, Bb thanks for reaching out about the Amazon Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell. The Amazon Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell has both options. Yes, wire-free the power source is battery-operated, or install it to existing doorbell wiring.

A: Hi Jhildas, thanks for reaching out about Amazon Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell. Well, cold temperatures are known to cause batteries to drain more quickly. Since Blink cameras are battery-reliant, cold temperatures will cause them to run out of power. Bring your device inside: When it gets cold and your device's battery runs out, bring your entire device inside and charge the battery with a USB cord. This will allow your device to warm up while the battery charges. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: @Joe There is a problem with your answer. The specs state 1.5V AA non-rechargeable Lithium batteries only. How is recharging possible?

A: Blink Video Doorbell is weather resistant with a seal that protects against water. We recommend mounting it to your home with the included back plate

A: Hi Hillmon, The Blink Video Doorbell is weather resistant with a seal that protects against water. We recommend mounting it to your home with the included back plate. The Blink Doorbell is wireless and has an IP-54 weather resistance rating! Hope that helps!

A: Hi Peachgen1! The Blink Wi-Fi Video Doorbell is compatible with only 2.4GHz Wi-Fi at this time. Thanks for your question, have a great day!

A: Hello, Blink cameras require a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Internet connection.

A: Hello Lex and thank you for asking this question. The Blink video doorbell can operate off of two AA batteries or can be hardwired via the low voltage wires used to power a traditional doorbell. I hope this answers your question and that you have a wonderful day.
