What and when do I use the sync module?

The Sync Module 2 for the Blink Video Doorbell connects up to 10 Blink devices and allows local storage of motion-triggered recordings on a USB flash drive. It is not required for basic functionality, as the doorbell can operate independently over Wi-Fi, sending notifications and recording motion events. However, the Sync Module 2 is useful if you want local storage instead of relying on cloud storage, access to On-Demand Live View and two-way audio at any time, and improved connectivity for multiple Blink devices.

What are the requirements for the doorbell transformer? Can you link to a transformer on amazon that would work with this product.

The Blink Video Doorbell requires a transformer with a minimum specification of 16 VAC and 10 VA to ensure proper operation and battery life extension.

You can hear the sound of the Blink Video Doorbell inside using the following methods:

1. In-Home Chime: If your doorbell is connected to compatible chime wiring (16 - 24 VAC at 50 - 60Hz, 40VA max), your existing in-home chime will sound when the doorbell is pressed.

2. Mini Camera: If your Blink Mini Camera and Video Doorbell are on the same system, the Mini Camera can play a chime sound when the doorbell is pressed.

3. Blink App: The Blink app can generate a chime sound on your mobile device when the doorbell is pressed.

4. Alexa Devices: If compatible Alexa devices are connected and notifications are enabled in Alexa settings, they can announce when the doorbell is pressed.

You can also customize the doorbell sound in the settings of the Blink app.

My Blink video doorbell seems to be working fine EXCEPT that without any reason the connected wired house doorbell chimes. I check the outside view and see nothing.

Your Blink Video Doorbell may cause the wired house doorbell to chime without reason due to incorrect wiring or a short in the system. If the wires are crossed or touching at the mounting bracket or inside the chime box, it can trigger the chime unexpectedly. Check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and not shorting. Also, verify that the door chime settings in the Blink app are configured correctly.

No, if you want to use Live View and two-way audio at any time on demand, you need a Sync Module. Without it, these features are only available within 60 seconds of a motion or doorbell notification.

No, using a subscription with the Blink Video Doorbell does not require disconnecting the Sync Module.
