A Sync Module is a hub that plugs into an electrical outlet to relay commands and network details to devices in the system it manages. It connects to your Wi-Fi network to handle activity for up to ten Blink devices. Sync Module XR and Sync Module 2 enable you to save clips without a subscription, with eligible devices (Blink Outdoor 4, Wired Floodlight, Video Doorbell, Blink Indoor and Outdoor (3rd Gen) and Mini cameras). They also improve convenience for scheduling and arms a group of devices at once. For an optimal experience, it's recommended to use a Sync Module with Blink devices.

Sync Modules provide the following benefits:

• Connect up to ten cameras, including Outdoor 4, Wired Floodlight, Outdoor and Indoor (all models), Video Doorbell, Mini, Mini 2, XT2, and XT in a single system.
• Supports Local Storage for up to ten eligible cameras using:
  • A USB drive (up to 256 GB, sold separately) for Sync Module 2.
  • A MicroSD card (up to 256 GB, sold separately) for Sync Module XR.

Note: Sync Module Core is compatible with all Blink cameras. Not sold separately. Does not support Local Storage or Clip Backup.

The Blink Wired Floodlight, Video Doorbell, Mini, and Mini 2 do not require a Sync Module. These devices are capable of creating and managing their own systems, or can be added to existing systems that use a Sync Module.

Note: When a Video Doorbell is not on a Sync Module or connected to chime wiring, it will operate in Event Response mode.

The following table shows all Blink devices that must use a Sync Module vs. devices that don't require one.
