Setting up your Outdoor 2K+

Setting up a Sync Module
If you are replacing a Sync Module with a new one, refer to replacing your existing Sync Module.
If setting up multiple cameras and Sync Modules, place each Sync Module in a separate room with at least one wall between them.
- Plug in your Sync Module.
- From the Blink app Home Screen, tap the plus + icon in the upper-right corner.
- Tap Sync Module.
- Scan the QR code on the back of the device or tap Enter Serial Manually.
- Choose an existing system or create a new one with a unique name, then tap Continue.
