Even though Blink tries to confuse you, you don't need a cloud plan if you have the sync module. When your 30 days runs out it will continue saving clips to a flash drive.
The cloud plan isn't needed, however if you don't have it, videos take up to 30 seconds to load on your phone, or longer. You also don't have that preview you get on your phone.
You explained how this door bell work and how to hook it up to the blink module then ten videos ive watched to learn about this doorbell before i purchase it. Thank you very much and may life continue to treat you well. 😊 👍✌️
This is the most comprehensive review & set up guide Chigz! Thank you - I was able to properly set up my video doorbell. I subscribed to your channel 😊
I like the way u explain the instruction of the BLIKN DOORBELL very easily n simply. I say that because it took me about 2 hours to do the download n try to get a picture I end up returning it . maybe because I didn't have module 2 I only had the doorbell itself. thanks for explaining that in your video. one more question do I have to pay a monthly fee for the use of the Blink DOOBEL? Again thanks for those tips there're instructive. have a nice n blessed day. Stay safe
Hi! Thx for this review. Tell me, please: 1) Can i use local storage without paid-up plan? 2) Which bell bell device can i buy and synchronise with Blink system?
How it going bud. This is a very good doorbell, especially like the wider angle lens. It covers more of your property than you would expect. Also, when someone presses the doorbell, I have 4 echo dot speakers around the house with a chime that sounds like howling wolves, absolutely love it.
This is a good video. I wish I would have had that when I bought my system. I am not young so setting it all up did not come easy for me. There is only a minimal set of instructions not helpful at all. Without youtube I would have never been able to get this going.But this video really covers everything in great detail
How far back will the data be stored on a local USB drive and will it overwrite the old files over time on the USB drive? Can someone opt to just use local storage (usb drive) over paying the subscription?
I shook youtube to find an appropriate video for this product, working with an existing Blink-Alexa combination. And Voila...I found your video/tutorial to fit 110% of my needs. Thanks buddy.
Honestly, I would shop around. I have buyers remorse with mine. There is no live view. The only time you can look out live is if somebody comes to your door and triggers the motion you can’t just go onto the app and look out your front door at any time, and if you don’t buy the subscription through the company, you cannot view your videos of people showing up to your front door on the app. You have to remove the USB stick and plug it into your computer to look and see who showed up at your house you will still get an alert from the app but the app won’t let you view the videos without a subscription. It’s actually kind of BS. There are better kinds of doorbell cameras out their shop around.
@@BeanShawna you can do whatever you want, but the truth is you can’t just at any time look out your front door, unless somebody activates the motion sensor or pushes the button if you have motion off and even then you only have so much time to click on the alert and go to live you and it doesn’t always work every time
Thanks for the video can I ask do you have to have the little box too ? I just ordered one but didn't order the box do I need it ? Also do I have to screw it in will it not stick on the front door ? Thank you 😊
When you have blink cloud the clips backup once a day to local storage but are only viewable by ejecting the usb storage device and opening them on your pc not available through the app unless you cancel the cloud subscription with no cloud subscription clips are stored on the sync module 2 usb storage but canceling cloud subscription you lose live video recording and hourly clips
You can adjust the motion sensitivity. Mine was too high and every tree branch made it go off. I adjusted it and now only when someone is coming towards front door would make it go off
I apologize if this question is asked already. I currently have 2 blink cameras with the blink 2 sync. If i got this doorbell, can i just add it onto an existing system? Or do I need to use the sync that comes with it??
Hi. Am I correct in thinking that the door chime, when the bell is pressed, only comes through the smart phone or an added camera and not from the sync module?
Well I can say it can come on your phone, an Echo device or the Blink Mini camera. I can also say it will ONLY ring once---then maybe in two minutes it rings again ....pretty sucky as a doorbell.
I utilized my current doorbell wiring solely for its intended purpose as a doorbell, without connecting it to the internet, but it didn't function. Any insights into why it might not be working?
Hi this is a great camera, but only 30 second video NOT good, when you mount it to the wall it's not very good secured, for a security camera it can be demountable easy, I put double gorilla tape to secure the camera.
Yes that's the case with any camera/doorbell. But I still feel it's better to have one and the final shot of your camera being taken will also get recorded. Max size that worked, 1TB USB Drive.
This video made by Chigz is very good. The bad part about Blink Video Doorbell is it will no longer work after 4weeks of trying it. You have to pay for a monthly service!
Sounds nice but I don't want to sign up for any subscriptions. I need or want or cloud storage. Will it work without the subscription?? That's the big question.
I have a security questions: would be a good idea to remove the barcode for the blink door bell ones install in my app? i am afraid that by living the barcode with the unit some my scan that barcode with a different phone an gain access to my camera, would that be possible?
I have the same package apart from the mini camera. I set up routines for pressing the doorbell and motion sensor to make my 3 echo dots in house notify me "there is someone at the front door". However, it does not triggers the routines. I have enabled blink skill on alexa buy the way. Any help please
I heard that when you don't have the subscription and only use the USB local storage, this doorbell will not record while doing a live view. Is this true? If it is, this is a deal breaker because that would defeat some of the purpose of having this type of device.
If you are only using this to see and speak to visitors live, it can be good. Especially for users that aren't tech savvy or don't care to need to record.
I have a Xiaomi 11T Pro, first time on this brand, there's an annoying green box with 3 white dots that have shortcuts, how can I get rid of it! DRIVING ME NUTS!!!
Thank you for your excellent video! I especially appreciated the time you took to demonstrate the settings on the Blink app and your recommendations as to where you set them, so I have subscribed to your channel. One question I have is this: I think I have changed the name of the Blink DB to Front Door in BOTH Blink app and Alexa app but I continue to get TWO notifications: "One says "Someone is at the Front Door" followed by another that says "Someone is at the (long annoying string of numbers and letters). Can you list all the places where the names have to be changed; and if I already did change them, how can I correct this annoyance, which is especially embarrassing when friends come over?
Will try to help. Open the Alexa app, go to devices, then tap on all devices. You will see a list of all your Amazon devices. Tap on the device that has the same number/letters that gets called out. Then switch off motion announcements for that specific device. That should solve your issue. Let me know. Thanks .
@@ChigzTech Thank you very much for your kind reply. That was a good idea, and I attempted to follow it, but unfortunately I find no device in the Alexa app listed by numbers and letters; the Blink DoorBell is found only once in the Alexa Devices list, and only by the name I assigned to it. But good news! - I just found a suggestion on Reddit from a member who said he turned off the motion announcement and turned it back on and that got rid of the vexing multi-character announcement, and I tried that and it worked! Now it only refers to the new name! Maybe someone else reading here in your comment section will also be helped.
@@ChigzTech I bought it early, approx 7 years ago. It might be therefore mine is free. I just want to know if it will begin to cost if I upgrade modules or perhaps even add cameras.
I don’t have a doorbell connection to my home. If a person has set off by motion and “NOT PRESSED THE DOORBELL” Will I still be able to speak to them through my phone when I receive the notification such as a burglar in my home while I am at work?
Yes you can. So even if they don't press the doorbell. You will be altered for that motion has been detected. You can then view the live feed and even talk on the loud speaker.
@@ChigzTech Does the motion send a "sound" alert or just pop up on phone as notification? Seems a sound would be the best way to alert me to motion outside my door.
Can someone just tell me real quick does it require a subscription? Bc on Amazon it's saying that. I want to know b4 I buy it. I just need a simple 2 way audio video camera bc I'm an amputee and can't keep getting up to see who's at my apartment door and one of these things is a great idea.
Trying to set up just the subscription without the second (local) device. Is it even possible? Have tried everything to connect the doorbell and the paid Amazon blink account and it’s not connecting. I’m pretty much tech capable but this has me stumped. Since this device is an Amazon device you’d think it would be simple and seamless. Nope.
Great review Chigz. Got one on the Prime day deal, will set it up today. I've several Echo speakers, Firesticks and an Echo Show. Hopefully integration will work with all. Keep up the good work mate 👍🏻
@@TheSexyblack41 Make sure you have the "mute" button off. I've made that mistake a couple of times, talked to someone then realised I hadn't taken the mute off.
I just bought an Echo Show so I could use that instead of my mobile phone. Learned the Blink doorbell needs to be hardwired to work with the Echo Show so have had to order a kit for it. It's just a simple case of connecting it to the doorbell then plugging it in. The Echo Show will work with it then and I'll be able to use the Dots as well. For now, I can only use my mobile. Seemingly it also improves the doorbell and there is less latency. I'll find out tomorrow when the kit (which is not expensive) arrives.
Doorbellcameras are the smartest thing that man has ever invented only downside is your privacy might be invaded at any point even if you live in the middle of nowhere
Hi, can this just work a a a camera? I don’t have visitors so there is no need to ring the bell. I need it for protection, and to protect my mail. Thank you
The fact that you said you were sponsored by Blink to give a full and honest opinion is the most ironic thing I've heard. Thanks for the review, but to physically say that you got sponsored to provide a "full and honest" review is no longer possible as there will always be a part of you trying to not critique the product as hard as a consumer who had to spend their own money; compared to you trying to retain a good relationship with the sponsor. Again, great video outlining the device and features, but something to consider for your future videos.
Yes, I agree with what you're saying. But if you watch my videos. You will know, how passionate I am about tech. If there is anything negative to mention, I would not care about sponsorships, and will always get the truth out there. I have value for money and believe if my video can save someone their hard earned cash, then I have done a good job. The fact of the matter is, I love this product and still use it on my front door. It's so reliable and has helped me with my deliveries when im not home. If the product was bad, it would have been obvious in the video.
can I access the drive without the cloud.. meaning if there is motion but I cant check at the moment, can i check what the motion was 5 mins later thru the usb storage on my phone or do i need the cloud
Hi guys, bought the doorbell+sync module but the notifications are sent to me at least 7 seconds after someone used the doorbell. This seems huge to me. What about you? Would it reduce the time to remove sync module?
I have read latencies of 20 seconds, 90 seconds and two minutes. It is not reliable as a wirelss doorbell period. It's a defect / shortcoming of the design. I 'd call it a front door monitoring camera but as a doorbell --i Laugh. I've never seen a doorbell (on wireless) work so poorly. The product is sold to work as a doorbell and not be wired into the existing chime in the house (thus all the fancy Alexa tones) BUT try this Blink unit in your home and try to push the button and have someone inside listen--they'll hear it chime ONCE--then a good two minutes pass before a second chime. Is the expectation that someone outside the door waits two minutes--NO--no one uses a doorbell that way.
I’m an existing blink customer so it just gave me free cloud storage. But for new customers it’s 2.50per month. Here are the details: www.amazon.co.uk/l/20859596031
Going through these reviews and was wondering why people keep asking about subscription. I’m also a blink outdoor camera customer for 4 years now and have never had to pay a sub and now I know why. Thank you, @chingz tech reviews. The only thing I don’t like about the door camera is that even if wired you still need to keep the batteries in, so replacing batteries will need to happen

I use 2 Blink camera and I can say the customer support has been outstanding. Fast replies to emails and U.S. based phone support.
I have 4 cameras.
Just bought one today and haven’t unboxed yet so thank you for the instructions I am sure they will help a lot.

Very thorough review. Wish I had seen this along time ago. It would have saved me time and effort.
Can you load the app to your computer because someone is on my cell phone?
Great review, thank you. Was looking at the "Ring" but a bit pricey compared to this one, convinced 👍👍
Blink is very good, still using mine.
Hi! Thx for this review. Tell me, please:
1) Can i use local storage without paid-up plan?
2) Which bell bell device can i buy and synchronise with Blink system?
so does the doorbell sound go through the phone? Or just the doorbell itself?
Very nice product as I've been wanting to get a video door bell.

Do they automatically save the footage or do you have to do that yourself ?
Great review I have the blink camera and just ordered this blink doorbell.👍
That’s good, enjoy. If you have an echo dot speaker, definitely pair it up. Love how the chimes work it.
@@ChigzTech 👍👍👍
Best review on the doorbell thanks mate👍
How far back will the data be stored on a local USB drive and will it overwrite the old files over time on the USB drive? Can someone opt to just use local storage (usb drive) over paying the subscription?
Really helpful and answered a couple of questions for sure. Much appreciated, Chigz!! Thank you 👍🏻⭐️👍🏻
The doorbell itself makes a sound? Outside? That's somewhat annoying for my apartment neighbours. Can it be turned off?
That's because it only makes one sound indoors and barely works as a normal doorbell. Weird eh.
I shook youtube to find an appropriate video for this product, working with an existing Blink-Alexa combination. And Voila...I found your video/tutorial to fit 110% of my needs. Thanks buddy.
Happy to hear. Glad it helped you.
How many mobile phones can blink doorbell alert? Only one main phone?
I found all my questions and they were answered watching the video and by going through the comments
Thank you very much best review ❤❤
Is there a limit of how camera devices I can add to my Blink account?
Love mine, reasonable price, definitely buy it with the sync module, if not you'll miss out on some of the features
What are the features? Do you know it it works with Portal?
Honestly, I would shop around. I have buyers remorse with mine. There is no live view. The only time you can look out live is if somebody comes to your door and triggers the motion you can’t just go onto the app and look out your front door at any time, and if you don’t buy the subscription through the company, you cannot view your videos of people showing up to your front door on the app. You have to remove the USB stick and plug it into your computer to look and see who showed up at your house you will still get an alert from the app but the app won’t let you view the videos without a subscription. It’s actually kind of BS. There are better kinds of doorbell cameras out their shop around.
So you’re telling me I should return the basic blink doorbell I bought? 🫠 cause not having live feels pointless
@@BeanShawna really check out reviews, on cameras, this one in the way they describe the features is really, to me , kinda shady
@@BeanShawna you can do whatever you want, but the truth is you can’t just at any time look out your front door, unless somebody activates the motion sensor or pushes the button if you have motion off and even then you only have so much time to click on the alert and go to live you and it doesn’t always work every time
Thanks for the video can I ask do you have to have the little box too ? I just ordered one but didn't order the box do I need it ? Also do I have to screw it in will it not stick on the front door ? Thank you 😊
Clearly explained, quick as well, love it
When you have blink cloud the clips backup once a day to local storage but are only viewable by ejecting the usb storage device and opening them on your pc not available through the app unless you cancel the cloud subscription with no cloud subscription clips are stored on the sync module 2 usb storage but canceling cloud subscription you lose live video recording and hourly clips
Does the sync module need to be right next to the blink camera?
Instead of screw can i use double sided tape?
Will this go off everything a car passes by? Also will the recording be only 30 seconds or longer like the actual camera?
That’s wbT I want to know did you ever find out? Most ppl knock on my door and thieves do neither 😅
@@kankan572Well not sure if this is good for you or not but it will go off even if it notices a shadow of any kind within 30ish feet
You can adjust the motion sensitivity. Mine was too high and every tree branch made it go off. I adjusted it and now only when someone is coming towards front door would make it go off
Yes it will go off when a car goes by but you can change the settings
I apologize if this question is asked already. I currently have 2 blink cameras with the blink 2 sync. If i got this doorbell, can i just add it onto an existing system? Or do I need to use the sync that comes with it??

Can the sync module be used. In place of cloud storage as I’d rather not pay a subscription
I utilized my current doorbell wiring solely for its intended purpose as a doorbell, without connecting it to the internet, but it didn't function. Any insights into why it might not be working?
Rad gadget; thanks for the review!
Your welcome. 👍
How do you set it to save to flash drive plugged into the module rather than be uploaded to the cloud?
Hi this is a great camera, but only 30 second video NOT good, when you mount it to the wall it's not very good secured, for a security camera it can be demountable easy, I put double gorilla tape to secure the camera.
I have two things ......first there is nothing stopping anyone robbing the doorbell ..
Also what size usb stick would be minimal to use?
Yes that's the case with any camera/doorbell. But I still feel it's better to have one and the final shot of your camera being taken will also get recorded. Max size that worked, 1TB USB Drive.
@@ChigzTech is there anyway to secure that doorbell?......how long would a 1TB usb hold?
Thanks were did you hook the white box up to is that the router
Saved to the cloud!? Where is the usb storage for then
This video made by Chigz is very good. The bad part about Blink Video Doorbell is it will no longer work after 4weeks of trying it. You have to pay for a monthly service!
There is indoor chime. It chimes through your phone and can also chime through in-house Mini Camera (sold separately).
it chimes once, then you wait about 2 minutes to hear the person's chime hit again. Stinks as a doorbell. No doorbell on earth works that way.
How did you get that doorbell sound on the Alexa. It’s crap that blink doorbell doesn’t come with a chime
Sounds nice but I don't want to sign up for any subscriptions. I need or want or cloud storage. Will it work without the subscription?? That's the big question.
Yes if you have the sync module 2
I have a security questions: would be a good idea to remove the barcode for the blink door bell ones install in my app? i am afraid that by living the barcode with the unit some my scan that barcode with a different phone an gain access to my camera, would that be possible?
6:00 so even if you choose to use local USB storage and opt out of cloud storage, you still need to subscribe?
how's the battery life? can it make more than a month?
I have the same package apart from the mini camera.
I set up routines for pressing the doorbell and motion sensor to make my 3 echo dots in house notify me "there is someone at the front door". However, it does not triggers the routines. I have enabled blink skill on alexa buy the way. Any help please
Does this automatically reconnect after power outages ?.
Do I actually need the module or can I just get the door bell
Wow £34 in prime day sale, definitely going to pick one up. Thanks Chigz
No problem, enjoy 👍
Strange the sync module hardware isn't built into the doorbell itself
It's not weird at all. What if someone steals the doorbell?
I heard that when you don't have the subscription and only use the USB local storage, this doorbell will not record while doing a live view. Is this true? If it is, this is a deal breaker because that would defeat some of the purpose of having this type of device.
If you are only using this to see and speak to visitors live, it can be good. Especially for users that aren't tech savvy or don't care to need to record.
Does it work for apartment doors .it's wireless?
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Thanks Alicia👍
Yeh it would be even more brilliant if someone ran off with it 🤔
Just wondering do I need the subscription at all then or is it a peace of mind?
You can use it free without subscription but recordings will be stored locally on a usb drive. If you pay you get cloud storage, choice is there.

Simply amazing. Thank you

If you do it wired does it still need the batteries? Also do they last longer if there wired
Does anything light up on them when someone sets the motion off or you are viewing the camera?
Why would you want to migrate from the old module to the new, doesnt that mean you will begin to have to pay a monthly free? Do you work for Blink?

Is the expectation that someone outside the door waits two minutes--NO--no one uses a doorbell that way.
What is the monthly cost please ?
Oh nice..😁😁😁👍👍👍
Thanks Patrick 👍
Thanks! Great breakdown!
is it 10 dollars a month and a year it's 100 dollars or is it first time u set it up it's 100 right then and there
Thank you, great job.
Np
How do I conect two phones to the device
With these things the unit price is irrelevant.
What’s the subscription fees?
I’m an existing blink customer so it just gave me free cloud storage. But for new customers it’s 2.50per month. Here are the details: www.amazon.co.uk/l/20859596031
Going through these reviews and was wondering why people keep asking about subscription. I’m also a blink outdoor camera customer for 4 years now and have never had to pay a sub and now I know why. Thank you, @chingz tech reviews. The only thing I don’t like about the door camera is that even if wired you still need to keep the batteries in, so replacing batteries will need to happen
U didn’t show night vision ?

Can you connect the camera to the old sync module?
Very annoying..was rushing earlier and didn't have a chance to purchase it at £34.99 on prime...went on at 12.15 am and it's back up to £49.99 😭
lol you just helped me setup the doorbell, this is the best youtube tutorial. THANKS.
Happy to help.
excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Voice changed drastically at 1:52 when someone spoke "Micro USB cable" . Weird.
How are you?
Not too bad, just enjoying the good weather. Thanks for asking 👍
Why does mines say event response even with the sync module being connected
