A: Hello KatyB and thank you for your question! Blinks devices are designed for longevity with most devices being backwards compatible with previous models. The only upgrad needed is changing the batteries when they expire. The Blink Outdoor 4 XR wireless security cameras are designed to work both inside and outside the home. The included Sync Module XR allows users to put the cameras up to 400 feet away from the module and still work. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

A: Hi Redford! All Blink systems require an active internet connection, in this case via the Sync Module XR, to function and be viewable. Some customers I've spoken to use a cellular hotspot, or something like Starlink, to get an internet connection in a remote location. The Sync Module XR also features a Micro SD Card slot so you can store your videos locally, and connects via WiFi so you don't need to worry about running an ethernet cord to it. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
