Blink Video Doorbell with Head-to-toe HD view, Two-year Battery Life, and Simple Setup, Required Sync Module not included - Black

A: Hi Jenn, thanks for reaching out about Blink Video Doorbell Add-On. f you are buying the Blink Video Doorbell "Add-On", you will need to either already own a Blink Sync Module (Sync Module 2 is recommended for the best features, especially local storage), or you will need to purchase one separately to get the most out of your doorbell. There are bundles available (often advertised as "Blink Video Doorbell + Sync Module 2") that include both for new users, but the "Add-On" SKU specifically leaves the Sync Module out. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi Jenn, thank you for your question. The Blink Video Doorbell Add-On does not include the sync module. The sync module helps extend the battery life for up to two years and it is sold separately in regards to this Add-On model. There is also availability of the Blink Video Doorbell bundled with the sync module through Target.com. I hope this helps, have a great day!

A: Hello Tracy, the Blink Video Doorbell comes with a mounting plate that you can screw into any flat surface. Brick, Block, Stucco and some siding may require you to drill holes and install anchors for the screws to hold. Have a great day!

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about the Blink Video Doorbell with Head-to-toe HD view, Two-year Battery Life, and Simple Setup, Required Sync Module not Included On the flat surface next to your front door (wood, siding, brick, stucco, or masonry) It does not need to replace an existing wired doorbell unless you want to use your indoor chime. Works best when pointed straight out toward the walkway, not angled sharply If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day between 7 am and 11 pm CST.

A: Hi K, Great questions — let's tackle all three! Is it easy to install? Yes! The Blink Video Doorbell is designed for DIY installation and is one of the more beginner-friendly smart doorbells on the market. It works in two ways : Wireless (battery-powered): Mount the included bracket, attach the doorbell, and you're done — no wiring needed Wired: If you have existing doorbell wiring, you can connect it for continuous power (no battery changes needed) The Blink app walks you through setup step by step, and most users have it up and running in under 15 minutes. Is it waterproof? The Blink Video Doorbell is weather resistant — it has a seal that protects against water and is designed for outdoor use. It's built to handle rain and typical outdoor conditions, so you're covered for standard weather exposure. Will it work right out of the box without additional accessories? Here's the important catch for this specific listing — the product title notes that the Sync Module is NOT included, and this version does require one to enable local video storage and certain features. However, the doorbell can function for live view and motion alerts connected directly to Wi-Fi without a Sync Module. For full functionality (including clip saving), you'd need to either add a Sync Module or subscribe to Blink's cloud storage plan. So in short: it'll work for basic use right out of the box, but for the complete experience, a Sync Module (sold separately) or a cloud subscription would be needed. Hope that clears things up, K!

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Blink Video Doorbell with Head-to-toe HD view, Two-year Battery Life, and Simple Setup, Required Sync Module not Included. The Blink Video Doorbell offers a simple, wire-free, or wired installation with a durable, weather-resistant design, but it will not work fully "out of the box" without additional accessories. While it comes with the camera, a separate Blink Sync Module is required for full functionality (Live View, cloud storage).

A: Hi Sue! Great question! Yes, there are visual notification options available for the Blink Video Doorbell that can work well for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. The Blink doorbell integrates with Amazon's smart home ecosystem, allowing you to set up visual alerts through Echo Show devices or smart lights throughout your home. One solution is using an Amazon Echo Show device (such as the Echo Show 5, 8, 11, 15 or 21). To set this up, download the Alexa app on your smartphone and navigate to "More" then "Skills & Games." Search for "Blink SmartHome" and enable the skill, then sign in with your Blink account credentials. Tap "Discover Devices" to link your Blink doorbell to Alexa. Once connected, your Echo Show will automatically display live video when someone rings the doorbell or motion is detected, providing a clear visual alert without any additional configuration needed. Alternatively, you can set up smart lights throughout your home to flash when someone rings your doorbell. You'll need smart bulbs compatible with Alexa (such as Philips Hue, LIFX, or Sengled) installed in key locations like your living room, bedroom, and kitchen. After connecting these bulbs to Alexa through their respective apps and enabling the Blink SmartHome skill, you'll create an Alexa Routine. In the Alexa app, go to "More" then "Routines" and tap the "+" button to create a new routine. Name it something like "Doorbell Flash Alert," then set the trigger as "Smart Home" and select your Blink doorbell with either "Detects motion" or "Button pressed." For the action, choose "Smart Home" then "Lights," select your smart bulbs, and set them to flash or blink on and off multiple times. You can even change the color to bright red or white for maximum visibility. Once saved, test the routine by ringing your doorbell to confirm the lights flash as expected. Both options work great—the Echo Show provides a video view of who's at the door, while smart lights give you visual alerts throughout your entire home. Many customers use both together for maximum awareness, ensuring they never miss a visitor no matter where they are in their house. Hope this helps and have a great day!
