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!
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.
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!!!
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.
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
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
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😊
Is there a preferred height to instal it on the door frame ? I notice that ant see the porch floor to check if a parcel had been left there Love your videos Thanks
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?
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.
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
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
If we already have a blink camera, so we need the sync module in order to use LIVE view on our doorbell (at any time, not just when it is triggered by motion)?
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.
@@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...
*Everyone having issues snapping the doorbell to the mount* Do not remove the rubber seal, it is the weather seal, there are small hooks on the mount, once you push the doorbell onto the mount, push the doorbell down and the hooks will lock into their pockets!
This should be the top comment! People removing the seal and wondering why Blink didn't include such an important step should ask themselves WHY there is a seal in the first place.
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???
A simple question: With the wireless system as you have put, what happens when someone presses the doorbell. Does your phone alert you? If you have Echo screen would that chime? Where is the audio 🔉 noise coming from to alert you? i.e. ding dong sound!?
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?
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
Can you arm some of the devices and not all of them in your system? Ie..I want the doorbells/outside cameras armed all the time, and the inside cameras only when I am not home.
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.
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 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.
It only goes throughout the house if you are using it with a wired system (I.e.: replacing a standard doorbell with a chime throughout the house). If you’re not using a wired system then it will only chime on your phone.
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

thanks for tip , so helpful
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

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

Thanks I was wondering that too if you don't have wired
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?
@@trutranx how do you wire it ?
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.
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.
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.
Where’s the wired install video??
Good to watch a video when you don’t know what you’re doing . Great job 👏
Do you need the module if you are hooking it up to and Echo show?
How tough is the device can it smash up easily rip it off with force?
Thank you for showing how to use the mount. I didn’t even know what that was and it really helped.
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

What did you figure out? I've been trying, per Blink video, for hours!
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?
Is there a preferred height to instal it on the door frame ? I notice that ant see the porch floor to check if a parcel had been left there
Love your videos
Thanks
I like it. The corner bracket was a little confusing thinks for clearing things up. Great and Informative video.
Perfect amazing explanation of how to install this doorbell. Thank you so much.❤
Great video, very informative.
But am I able to connect the Blink to my existing wireless door bell?
Please advise.
Thank you
You need the module to use a chime too?
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?
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.
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!

How can I view my surroundings live? I don't have a camera icon on my app?
❤ love this instruction but how do you get to hear the doorbell...?
Through your phone, the module or how...?
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
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?
Fantastic Video on the Blink Doorbell and accessories. So far, this is the best video I've seen
Thank you very much. Made installing The Blink video camera so much easier.
Will this work with command strips? If you’re renting an apartment and don’t want to screw holes and all.
Can you connect both battery and hardwire or one or the other
Battery needs to be installed regardless if wired
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 ???
Very helpful i didnt have modle had to order one all i ways getting is red flashing lift no idea what it means
Superb sir, thank you very much. Followed this step by step and installed with no problems.
So in order to operate this blink I have to purchase sinc module?
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.
If we already have a blink camera, so we need the sync module in order to use LIVE view on our doorbell (at any time, not just when it is triggered by motion)?
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 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!
Excellent video! Really appreciate the details as you give instruction.
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.
Does the module need to stay connected at all times once you have the door bell set up?
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...
@@aNuthaRedneck I’m having the same problem I have it synced to both but for some reason the Alexa want alert me when someone is at the door
When you press the doorbell will the Chime work off an existing chiming unit?.
Thanks couldn't get it to click till seen your vid. Thanks
*Everyone having issues snapping the doorbell to the mount*

Didn't work 1hr later won't snap in pops right back out
T mcn ni3!!0.
This is infuriating
We didn’t remove the seal and still are having trouble, is it an issue with angles or such?
Ive just purchased one in the uk and set it up but don't seem to have half the settings you do to adjust it
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???
This really helped thank you, I just got mine
Great to hear!
Can this be hooked to two phones mine and my wife’s? Thanks
A simple question: With the wireless system as you have put, what happens when someone presses the doorbell. Does your phone alert you? If you have Echo screen would that chime? Where is the audio 🔉 noise coming from to alert you? i.e. ding dong sound!?
So ill need a sync module then as I never got one with the doorbell, right thanks.
My daughter brought me the door bell camera it's amazing
does the doorbell ring anywhere else other than the actual doorbell itself? I mean can you hear it inside the house too?
TY
Does the module need to stay plugged in or was that just for the set up?
This VIDEO was a LIFESAVER for me.
I can’t say “Thank You” enough!
Best Walk Thru ever🎶🎶🎶👍🏽
So glad I found your video. I was lost until now. Very clear and to the point.Thank you soooooo much
Awesome video , everything explained and made simple 👍.
Totally gonna video my squirrels and give them a way to contact me.
Thanks for the great video!!
Thank you very much for the video. It was very detailed and easy to understand. Great job!
Where does the chime sound come from when someone rings the doorbell? Phone?
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
Can i add module after the doorbell is installed...doorbell ringing on my phone but not the module. Im guessing module is not set up completely
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 do both, battery and wired or you have to pick one?
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 the block module from my original block security cams can I use it for the blink doorbell
Can you arm some of the devices and not all of them in your system? Ie..I want the doorbells/outside cameras armed all the time, and the inside cameras only when I am not home.
Your Video really helps, great job
Thanks !!
All video is really beautiful and helpful but I don't know how I can talk with somebody who is ringing my doorbell...?
Do you really need a blink Module for the Video Doorbell to work or can it work by itself and app download only?
Does the module need to be continously plugged in after installation
Do you have to buy the module for this door bell to work?
If we don't have module cam we still hook it up to on Wifi,?
Is it possible to get spares for Blink video bell? The back of bell was damaged so need the back that screws to wall.. thanks.,
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.
Good point!
If I set this up without the hard wire do I have to charge the door bell often?
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?

Do you need sync module to run this doorbell
Where is the video for hardwiring it?
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.

Excellent video! Very clear and helpful. I will be referring back to it when I get ready to install my Blink.
Extremely informative thanks so
Much !!
What about a chime? How do hear the bell?
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"
After you wire it and press the bell does the whole chime go throughout the whole house like the old bell or is it strictly on your phone?
It only goes throughout the house if you are using it with a wired system (I.e.: replacing a standard doorbell with a chime throughout the house). If you’re not using a wired system then it will only chime on your phone.
It was a great video, but I was disappointed that there weren’t wired installation instructions.
I have door bell just separate with sync module 2. Would it still work
?
Thank you so very much!!! God bless you all!!!
Do you have to use that piece to unmount it. I can't find it and I need to resync the doorbell
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
Do you have to drill or can it just be stuck on?
Can I power up the Blink doorbell directly to a transformer without any chime?
I bought the door bell but the module wasn't included. Do I absolutely need the module?
Thank you!! The click part was the worse part but I got it!!! Video was very helpful
Did it come with that door mount?
