Thank you! Just bought one and will be installing soon. I don’t have a round junction box, but I’ll look for something like yours to mount it. Yours looks great! 👍🙌
Welcome. The wire literally just goes through the outside of the house with no electrical box. You can buy those vinyl mounting blocks at lowes or depot or even amazon like this one was mounted on.
Great video tutorial. The best one I've seen yet for this camera. Maybe a good idea to put some silicone caulking around the top part of the mount where it meets the wall?
It has a rubberized seal around the back of it. If mounting to a vinyl mounting block like I do it’s not really necessary. Could still do it for piece of mind though but only on the top half like you mentioned
If you swap the light for a camera , then for the camera and lights to work does the switch have to be flipped forn it to turn on like the existing light ?
Definitely the breaker if you know which one it is. I just shut the light switch off but I would definitely test for no power either using a meter or a non contact voltage tester. Shutting the breaker off is the safest bet though
I’m pretty sure I have a 16gb stick in the sync module. Depending on activity with all 3 cameras I have it lasts a couple months before storage is full
Having an issue with the light turning on during detected motion. System is armed. If I select light on in the settings it does turn on. But once it times out, motion doesn’t activate it again. I’m seeing the same comments in Amazon chats with no resolution. Have you had this issue?

Will the lights work without WiFi? I understand that the camera needs WiFi & sync box, but will the lights work independently when WiFi is off?
I will test that and let you know
Customer support says it has to have WiFi to light up, so I’m returning it and will get something else.

it to turn on like the existing light ?
Yes it does. I have a plastic switch cover over it so it doesn’t accidentally get shut off
Should I turn off the power before we do this installation?

I have a question if it outdoors is water not gonna go in inside from the speakers
Haven’t had any issues since install
@@theguyofalltradesbc i have mini 2 outside with a water resistance adapter but idk if water is gonna go inside the speakers
Thanks
2 questions?
1, when the siren goes sound?
2, I have to paid pass 30 days ?
No siren but you will get a blink alert through the app. You don’t need subscription if you have the sync module otherwise you will
@@theguyofalltrades thanks for the information
Gracias por la información
@@frandyreyes1520 welcome
Will the light turn on automatically when it detects movement or people?
Sure does
@@theguyofalltrades thank you!
Does the camera still need batteries
Nope not this one. They make a totally wireless version that’s battery powered but it’s not as bright as the wired version
Does the flood light work without the camera connected
Yup it will come on with the system disarmed
How many GBs of memory do you get without having to subscribe to their cloud storage?
I have a
I’m pretty sure I have a 16gb stick in the sync module. Depending on activity with all 3 cameras I have it lasts a couple months before storage is full
Are you able to adjust the brightness of the lights?
Yup. In the blink app you can. There’s quite a few settings for motion and recording too
Awesome. thanks for the quick response!

What’s your re trigger time set to?
@@theguyofalltrades I’ve got motion sensitivity at 5 and retrigger time at 36 seconds.
I’m set a sensitivity 4, record all motion, 60s clip length, 60s retrigger, and 5 minute timeout. Seems to work well for me
Its bad that no one makes a light box this camera can be mounted to so you dont have a cut big hole in side of your house or any wall
They are normally mounted on those vinyl mounting blocks even in new construction
