How to add your Sync Module 2 to the Blink app

Make sure that you download the most recent version of the Blink mobile app and have an account set up. This video quickly walks you through the in-app setup of your Sync Module 2. For detailed instructions, see the step-by-step process below.

Add a Sync Module and create a system

1. From the home screen, tap the + icon to add a device.

2. The Add Device screen displays all of your device options and tap Sync Module.

3. Next, enter your Sync Module's serial number. Within the Blink app you can scan the QR code printed on the bottom of your device, or in the Quick Start Guide. You can also manually enter the serial number. 

Note: The Blink app may require permission to access the camera on your mobile device in order to scan the QR code.

To learn where the QR code and serial number are located, tap Help me find my QR code and serial number at the bottom of the Scan QR Code screen.

4. Once the serial number is recognized, you are asked to create a new system by tapping the text entry box and providing a unique name. This name must be different from other system names you may have in your Blink account. Tap Continue after your new system name is entered.

5. The Add Sync Module screen will instruct you to plug in your Sync Module and then wait for the light pattern of blinking blue and steady green.
Tap Discover Device when you see this pattern on your Sync Module.

Note: If you don't see the blinking blue light pattern, then you may need to reset the Sync Module. Learn more about how to reset the Sync Module.

6. Next, the Blink app needs to connect to the Sync Module's Wi-Fi network. It's named “BLINK-" followed by four digits from the Sync Module serial number. Tap Join and then you are asked to join your local Wi-Fi network.

7. The Add Sync Module screen displays 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks within range. If you do not see your local Wi-Fi network, tap Refresh List at the bottom of the screen. The Sync Module stores network information for devices that are added to its system. Learn more about how to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connections.

8. After you tap your Wi-Fi network name, you will see a password entry field. It is important to ensure your password is correct before entering it. Then tap Join to continue.

9. You are then notified when your Sync Module has been added to your new system. Tap Done to complete the process and view the Welcome screen where you can add a new camera.

The new system name displays at the top of your Home screen and you will also see the Sync Module is added. A cloud icon shows a green connection line showing the Sync Module is communicating with the Blink servers. You can now tap the plus symbol +  to add a device.

Once you decide on proper placement‍, clean the surface well. The back plate needs to form a weather tight seal, so mounting on a flat sturdy surface is important.

To adjust the view 5º up-down, or 25º side-side, click to learn about installing a wedge or corner mount‍.

A paper template is included with your doorbell to show how far apart you drill the mounting holes. The template is shipped with the doorbell opening key attached. Save the key for future use. The same template also works for Wedge and Corner Mounts.

How do I mount on vinyl siding?

We recommend only using the included mounting kit. However, there are "screw-free" kits available to fit standard vinyl siding. Some good search terms are "surface block" and "vinyl siding wall plate".

To maintain a weather seal, both mounting holes must be covered if they are not being used. Waterproof tape is a recommended option. By design, the included mounting screws fill the space, keeping your doorbell weather resistant.

Should I install a Wedge or Corner Mount?

The wedge and corner mounts (included in some packages, or sold separately) can correct the doorbell view when the only available surface is angled, or you want to adjust the view. 

• Wedge changes the view 5º up-down 
• Corner Mount changes the view 25º side-side.

The camera in the doorbell has a field of view pointing straight out from the mounting surface. If the image does not capture the view you want, a Wedge offers 5° vertical tilt (up and down), and a Corner Mount offers 25° horizontal tilt (side to side). These accessories come in black or white to match your doorbell.

How to Install the Wedge or Corner Mount

Check the doorbell view and placement by pressing the doorbell button, and then in the Blink app, tap the notification you receive to enter Live View.

While in Live View, you are looking out of the doorbell camera. You can adjust the position and location to get the view you want, before drilling into your wall.

The included drill template works for the mounts and the doorbell.

1. Drill mounting holes.

Tape the template in place approximately 40 - 48 inches (102 -122cm) above the ground. If you want to use the wiring from a doorbell you already have, place the template so that the wires will reach through the central open area of the wedge.

2. Mount accessory then attach back plate.

The Wedge and Corner Mount accessories ship with a pair of shortened all-purpose screws. These screws are used to secure the back plate to the accessory ( ② in the image below). Use the pointed, regular-length screws to secure the accessory to your wall or surface ( ① in the image below). See image below for more details.

Note that the doorbell comes with two replacement terminal screws that are shorter and have very fine threads as compared to the accessory mounting screws.

1. Regular length multi-purpose screws attach the Wedge or Corner Mount to your location through slots in the accessory.	2. Shortened screws secure the back plate to attachment points molded into the Wedge and Corner Mount.	Doorbell shown attached to Wedge and back plate.

How do I use wall anchors?

The wall anchors are made of white plastic and are to be used when the threads of the screw cannot dig into the material, such as with brick. You drill a hole large enough for the wall anchor to fit tightly into, then when you use the mounting screw, it's threads can hold securely.

1. Drill a 7/32-inch (5.41 mm) hole, 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep.
2. Insert the wall anchor until it is flush with the mounting surface.
3. Continue with the installation.

Delete

Tools
You will need tape to hold the template in place, a screwdriver, a drill, and the clear plastic pouch with screws and wall anchors. To drill mounting holes, select the bit size you need:

• Just the screws:  3/32-inch (2.375 mm)
• Wall anchor: 7/32-inch (5.41 mm)

Delete

Caution

Electrical Shock HAZARD. If you are drilling into a wall or replacing an existing chime anywhere near live electrical wires, it is important to turn off all power to the location from the circuit breaker. Please consult a qualified person with experience installing doorbell cameras.

Tape the paper template 40 - 48 inches (101.6 - 121.9 cm) above the floor.

Drill two guide-holes approximately one inch deep (2.5 cm). 

For mounting on brick, stucco, or drywall-type materials, you may want to use the included white plastic wall anchors. Wall anchors grip the threads and provide outward pressure against the walls of a drilled hole. Included wall anchors fit the hole from a 7/32-inch (5.41 mm) drill bit.

Remove the paper template.

Secure exposed wires if necessary.
If you are not using existing wires, but they are present, twist a grey terminal cap onto each exposed wire tip to prevent dangerous sparking or other issues. Find two terminal caps in the accessory bag with the mounting screws.

Attach the back plate to your surface with two screws (do not over tighten)
All-purpose screws are included with two wall anchors and wire terminal end caps in a clear plastic pouch. Use only two screws to mount the back plate.

Note: Mount the back plate on a firm, flat surface, to form a weather seal with the doorbell. We recommend only using the included mounting kit, but if you do not, the mounting holes must be covered with a watertight seal.

Three hole back plate for weather resistant doorbell

The back plate with three holes is not designed to provide a seal from weather, because the Video Doorbell it comes with is rated IP-54 weather resistant. For best installation, we recommend using the top and bottom mounting holes on a flat surface. 

For uneven or smaller surfaces, use the top and middle holes. Be careful not to over tighten the middle screw.  If a gap appears between the back plate and the doorbell, loosen the middle screw slightly.

What is Event Response mode?

If your Blink Video Doorbell is not connected to a Sync Module 2 or is not connected to compatible chime wiring, the doorbell enters into Event Response mode. 

When your Blink Video Doorbell is operating in Event Response mode, features such as Live View and two-way audio are only available for doorbell presses and when motion is detected. 

Once a Sync Module 2 is added to the doorbell's system, or the doorbell is connected to compatible chime wiring, the doorbell automatically exits Event Response mode.

Using the Blink Video Doorbell with batteries

Your Blink Video Doorbell is powered by two AA lithium batteries. Adding your doorbell to a Sync Module 2 and/or connecting it to your existing chime's wires can extend battery life. However, batteries are the main source of power for the doorbell and are required for your Blink Video Doorbell to function. Battery performance is directly related to the amount of use.

Using your Blink Video Doorbell in Event Response Mode

Wondering which features are available in Event Response mode? See the table or detailed descriptions below to view your options. More features are available when you sign up for a Blink Subscription Plan.

1. Live View and two-way audio (with or without a Blink Subscription Plan)

While your Blink Video Doorbell is in Event Response mode, you can't access Live View from your Blink App. However, Live View and two-way audio are available when: 

1. Your Blink Video Doorbell ringer is pressed. 
2. Your system is Armed for Motion Detection and your Blink Video Doorbell detects motion.

Your mobile device will send you a push notification when either of these two events happen. Tap the notification within 60 seconds to enter a Live View session with two-way audio. 

2. Viewing and saving clips

Note: An active Blink Subscription Plan is required to save motion clips (video). Saved motion clips from your doorbell appear in Clips with a bell icon  next to the clip thumbnail.

Without a subscription, Live View and motion clips are not saved.

• While in Event Response mode, your Blink Video Doorbell displays clips as a Non Media Event in the thumbnail area. This indicates an event happened, but nothing can be watched.

3. Photo Capture

Note: To use Photo Capture while in Event Response mode, you must have an active Blink Subscription Plan and your doorbell must be armed. The Photo Capture setting for your Blink Video Doorbell is off by default.

• Photo Capture stores a photo every hour. If there are no doorbell presses or motion events, the photos are compressed into a short video that you can view in the Clips section of the app.
• When a doorbell press or motion event happens, any previous Photo Captures are converted to your clip list, so the new event can be processed right away. Each time Photo Capture stops, you receive a video of the images taken up to that point.
• Learn more about Photo Capture in the Photo Capture FAQ.

4. Photo Thumbnail

Note: An active Blink Subscription Plan is required for Photo Thumbnails.

• Photo thumbnails can't be generated directly within the app while the doorbell is in Event Response mode.
• If you don't have a Blink Subscription Plan, your Event Response mode Blink Video Doorbell will be gray while on the home screen.
• The thumbnail is updated each time the doorbell ringer button is pressed.

Unavailable Features

These features are not available when your doorbell is in Event Response mode even if you have a Blink Subscription Plan. Once a Sync Module 2 is added to the doorbell's system, or the doorbell is connected to compatible chime wiring, the doorbell automatically exits Event Response mode. These features will then become available.

• Access Live View directly from the Blink app
• Scheduling
• Zones

Press your Blink Video Doorbell to save your settings

In Event Response mode, you must press the doorbell button to:

• Arm or Disarm the camera.

• Turn Motion Detection on or off.

• Update any new Settings changes.
