Ok, we had soooooooo much trouble trying to get bell part to click with the mounting. But I think I may have an idea.... When we took the "seal" off the mounting, the two pieces came together like a charm!! So, my husband and I are thinking the "seal" is actually just packaging and not necessarily supposed to be part of the mounting process.... I'm no blink expert, so take what I say with grain of salt. But, it WORKED ! Wish y'all the best!
As for as "Wired or Wireless", the doorbell is only powered by the batteries. If you connect it to the existing doorbell wiring, you can get it to activate your existing house doorbell.otherwise, you only get a chime on your phone when the doorbell button is pushed.
Thank you so much for your help. I found no manual of any kind in the box and was close to tears, but, UA-cam, is always the place to check for anything. After reviewing all of the "Blink" videos, yours by far, is the absolute best. Thanks again!!!
Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa
The mount was something else but we followed the directions in this video and it was smooth sailing on out. Thanks for this video. It was very helpful.
The camera box did not come with any usable instruction. But I do thank you for the instructions. This Texan could not figure out how to mount it without this video. Thank you much
Best install video hands down! You explained everything so thoroughly so I was able to do it as you did. I only got stuck on mounting the doorbell as I couldn’t get it to click in place but I figured it out. Thank you so much😊
Thanks for your video. I already installed on of these at our new house and needed to install on at ky mother’s house so needed a refresher. Thanks again this really helped
Thank you so much for this video. I got the doorbell and an outdoor camera off of amazon during prime day. I had no trouble setting up the doorbell today and Im gonna put up the outdoor cameral tomorrow.
@@chiquitawhitley7659 I followed the instructions and have it operating on my blink app and alexa. The video shows only on the blink app (so far). I'm still not sure why I need the sync module unless I have other blink devices. Definitely a learning curve...
Important note. Even if you use it as hardwired - it still runs on battery. The hardwire only makes your old doorbell work. It does not power the Blink doorbell camera.
@@Alvisr7 if you hook it up to the wiring of your old doorbell it should make the bell ring - if the doorbell transformer is powerful enough. Ours is really old and would have to be located and upgraded first.
I just bought the blink doorbell and two of the blink cameras for my husband for Christmas. Before I even start to mount the doorbell, do I absolutely need to have the sink module
Purchased one of these, should turn up today. I was wondering when I install the app, do I have to install the app and go through setup again each time when my mum and dad want to use blink camera and doorbell on their phone?
the small screws with kit went through the back plate holes and the wedge holes but then would not actually screw in. Any ideas?? its like they need to supply a longer screw???
Mine will literally not click into the back plate, no idea y but no matter wat I do it wont click in, just sits in place and u can easily pull it off the back plate
I was trying to dry fit the back onto the doorbell and could not get it to lock in place. I was ready to throw it against the wall and I realized hey customer support. I called them they had me take pictures of the doorbell and the plate and they are sending me a replacement back plate. They said the back plate could be defective and that it would be 2 to 3 days before I received it. My doorbell came with one indoor camera. So the reasoning for dry fitting the back plate. So I could set up the indoor camera. Just to mention you will have to buy the additional Module 2, that allows the system to connect to the internet through Wi-Fi, within it another $35, additional expense. I should have went to UA-cam before I started my setup. I purchased extra cameras while they were on sale through Prime Days $15 each. No something has happened to the module 2 it is not linking to the cloud I'm fixing to search UA-cam for help. Thank you for the heads up.
It’s the Sync Module important? I buy the video doorbell without the sync because I didn’t know I have to buy the Sync too 🤦🏻♀️ can I use it without the sync?
Thank you so much for this video. Zero instructions included in box. I’ve workedon this two days now. So I don’t want to do any subscription. Do I just put a thumb drive in the sync module box? Do I need to change any settings? Thanks again!
Do not remove the seal. Read your instructions so the clips and holes line up. Check how to do it before installing. You have to push down pretty hard to get it to snap in place.
@@kamiliablack7167 I broke the 1st one I bought another put I notice with the 2nd one it didn’t have the seal on it and it worked without it! That might work… good luck
My door and surrounding is plastic. I also rent so putting holes in the door or sides, I don't think my landlord will be happy. I thought you'd put a sticky back so I could stick it to the window part of my door which is in the centre. I have about a foot of wall each side like pillars. I'll see if I can drill into the cement part and hope people will see the doorbell as I have no door knocker and my letterbox flap fell off. I love the concept of this blink doorbell though and will get it once I've double checked my door and surrounding.
For the free plan, does it record video and delete after 24 hours? My camera was recording video upon first use, but now it is only recording motion detection. If I try to toggle on video recording, it says I need a subscription. I thought the camera would still record video/ take a picture?
my partner has bought one of these but thinks you must use a drill to put on mounting plate can you confirm if she needs a drill or can you just screw on it on
I have taken all the sticky plastic on it off but is there a sticky bit below the camera as it’s seems a dull look but I can’t get plastic sticky off ?? Should I

Will it still give you notifications if you get it wired?
@@ginadelena4296 Yes. Wired or wireless, you will always get a notification on your phone.
How do you wire it?

Get a therapist as well. Not having instructions should not be that emotional of an event.

Great video! Your instruction is very clear and easy to follow. I definitely feel a lot more confident about installing the one I just purchased.

Did it come with the door mount
@@DemiDemi1 yes
Where’s the wired install video??
This just became available to buy in the UK. I just got mine. This video is miles better than any of the instructions Amazon included. Thanks.
The camera box did not come with any usable instruction. But I do thank you for the instructions. This Texan could not figure out how to mount it without this video. Thank you much
What if you already have internet at home can you just hook the blink up to your internet connect without buying the square blink.
I like it. The corner bracket was a little confusing thinks for clearing things up. Great and Informative video.
Thank you for showing how to use the mount. I didn’t even know what that was and it really helped.
Thank you! Was stumped after I added the module. I was sure the doorbell had already been added ie. passcode sent to my phone, etc. Sorted!
I just bought this doorbell and thanks 🙏🏾 to your instructions it was super easy for me to get it setup. Thank you 😃😃😃😃😃
How is the video quality?
You do not need the blink module. The doorbell works fine as a stand-alone but you do loose some features
What features do you miss out on, if you don’t have the module ???
Best install video hands down! You explained everything so thoroughly so I was able to do it as you did. I only got stuck on mounting the doorbell as I couldn’t get it to click in place but I figured it out. Thank you so much😊
What did you figure out? I've been trying, per Blink video, for hours!
Thanks for your video. I already installed on of these at our new house and needed to install on at ky mother’s house so needed a refresher. Thanks again this really helped
okaaaaay i did it after all. It was so easy thanks to you. i dont know why people have a hard time slipping the bell on.
Thank you so much for this video. I got the doorbell and an outdoor camera off of amazon during prime day. I had no trouble setting up the doorbell today and Im gonna put up the outdoor cameral tomorrow.
Good to watch a video when you don’t know what you’re doing . Great job 👏
Thank you!!! This video helped me so much. I didn't even use the instructions that came with it. Just your video! Thank you so incredibly much.
Are doors made the same, I wonder? Cos that part of my door is CONCRETE SOLID. Lol. Idk if a screw will even go into it..... do I put it in the vinyl?
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. Now I know I need a sync module 2.
Thanks for watching and the comment, glad to help!
Thank you didn’t know I needed the sync module 😞 got it now
I know me neither. They should just mark up the price a little and include it
It sucks! The instructions on the box doesn't mention needing the sync module
@@aNuthaRedneck exactly what I said lol
@@chiquitawhitley7659 I followed the instructions and have it operating on my blink app and alexa. The video shows only on the blink app (so far). I'm still not sure why I need the sync module unless I have other blink devices. Definitely a learning curve...

So glad I found your video. I was lost until now. Very clear and to the point.Thank you soooooo much
Superb sir, thank you very much. Followed this step by step and installed with no problems.
Thank you very much. Made installing The Blink video camera so much easier.
Fantastic Video on the Blink Doorbell and accessories. So far, this is the best video I've seen
Great video, very informative.
But am I able to connect the Blink to my existing wireless door bell?
Please advise.
Thank you
Do you need the module if you are hooking it up to and Echo show?
It was a great video, but I was disappointed that there weren’t wired installation instructions.
How can I view my surroundings live? I don't have a camera icon on my app?
Where is the video for hardwiring it?
You need the module to use a chime too?
Important note. Even if you use it as hardwired - it still runs on battery. The hardwire only makes your old doorbell work. It does not power the Blink doorbell camera.
How do you make it work with door bell?
@@Alvisr7 if you hook it up to the wiring of your old doorbell it should make the bell ring - if the doorbell transformer is powerful enough. Ours is really old and would have to be located and upgraded first.

Thank you so very much!!! God bless you all!!!
Excellent video! Really appreciate the details as you give instruction.
Excellent video! Very clear and helpful. I will be referring back to it when I get ready to install my Blink.
My daughter brought me the door bell camera it's amazing
Thank you very much for the video. It was very detailed and easy to understand. Great job!
All video is really beautiful and helpful but I don't know how I can talk with somebody who is ringing my doorbell...?
❤ love this instruction but how do you get to hear the doorbell...?
Through your phone, the module or how...?
Purchased one of these, should turn up today. I was wondering when I install the app, do I have to install the app and go through setup again each time when my mum and dad want to use blink camera and doorbell on their phone?
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Wired video??
Thank you!! The click part was the worse part but I got it!!! Video was very helpful
Awesome video , everything explained and made simple 👍.
Great master class about how to install this doorbell thanks you so much you make look so easy!!
the small screws with kit went through the back plate holes and the wedge holes but then would not actually screw in. Any ideas?? its like they need to supply a longer screw???
Does the module need to stay connected at all times once you have the door bell set up?
This really helped thank you, I just got mine
Great to hear!
anybody with a small flat screwdriver can remove the doorbell and eventually steal it??
Mine will literally not click into the back plate, no idea y but no matter wat I do it wont click in, just sits in place and u can easily pull it off the back plate

This VIDEO was a LIFESAVER for me.
I can’t say “Thank You” enough!
Best Walk Thru ever🎶🎶🎶👍🏽
Will this work with command strips? If you’re renting an apartment and don’t want to screw holes and all.
So in order to operate this blink I have to purchase sinc module?
Thanks couldn't get it to click till seen your vid. Thanks
Mine is not clicking .
What about a chime? How do hear the bell?
Thanks for the step-by-step guide.
It’s the Sync Module important? I buy the video doorbell without the sync because I didn’t know I have to buy the Sync too 🤦🏻♀️ can I use it without the sync?
Can you connect both battery and hardwire or one or the other
Battery needs to be installed regardless if wired
Thank you so much for this video. Zero instructions included in box. I’ve workedon this two days now. So I don’t want to do any subscription. Do I just put a thumb drive in the sync module box? Do I need to change any settings? Thanks again!
Photo you use needs to be mentioned Tetons Jackson Hole, Wyoming (Teton National Forrest) ! In Case any one is wondering!
Thanks. What “seal” do you refer to? I am also struggling with this.
The thin rubber piece that wraps around the inside of the mount piece! Remove that!
@@MaytalyM that's a waterproof seal. DO NOT REMOVE it.
Do not remove the seal. Read your instructions so the clips and holes line up. Check how to do it before installing. You have to push down pretty hard to get it to snap in place.
Can this be hooked to two phones mine and my wife’s? Thanks
Just got my blink I just can’t put the back on any suggestions?
Me either. Did you figure it out?
@@kadazjiamonay5219 I had to purchase another back plate because I broke the original.. I finally got it it took awhile but it’s done. So be patient
@@evarodriguez7978 how you did it, I cannot figure this out, mine wont clip

is this suppose to work with echo show, I got it to work once, I know not how, but before that and after It says "...doesn't support that"
So ill need a sync module then as I never got one with the doorbell, right thanks.
Extremely informative thanks so
Much !!
When you press the doorbell will the Chime work off an existing chiming unit?.
I bought the door bell but the module wasn't included. Do I absolutely need the module?
For the free plan, does it record video and delete after 24 hours? My camera was recording video upon first use, but now it is only recording motion detection. If I try to toggle on video recording, it says I need a subscription. I thought the camera would still record video/ take a picture?
my partner has bought one of these but thinks you must use a drill to put on mounting plate can you confirm if she needs a drill or can you just screw on it on
Totally gonna video my squirrels and give them a way to contact me.
Thanks for the great video!!
Where does the chime sound come from when someone rings the doorbell? Phone?
You do not need a sync module to use the door bell
Only for offline storage
So helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for watching and the comment! It's appreciated!
Fantastic! Very well done and thorough!
My doorbell doesn't have the wedge or that closed back mounting plate the flat plate has a huge cutout on the top 1/3rd of it?
Your Video really helps, great job
Thanks !!
Very helpful and detailed video. Great job!
Looking for the wired video…
does the doorbell ring anywhere else other than the actual doorbell itself? I mean can you hear it inside the house too?
TY
I cannot get my Blink to attach
I didn’t see him hang the wedge piece. Do I have to use it?
I wanna know how to setup these two black wires came with blink video doorbell with the existing old doorbell wire so that my traditional chime works
Do you need sync module to run this doorbell
Does the module need to stay plugged in or was that just for the set up?
I’m signing into the app it says I have to pay ? Also is there a way I can have it work permanently without having to keep changing the batteries
I have taken all the sticky plastic on it off but is there a sticky bit below the camera as it’s seems a dull look but I can’t get plastic sticky off ?? Should I
Very good presentation easy to understand
Can I power up the Blink doorbell directly to a transformer without any chime?
Does the module need to be continously plugged in after installation
When the battery gets low, I'm assuming the app sends a notification?
