5.0 out of 5 stars Must have to use cameras
I received a blink 4 outdoor camera for my birthday. I was all excited and realized very quickly that I needed a sync module for it to work. I'm not really all that tech savvy. So for me to get it up and going is saying a lot. It's fairly simple to do. The night vision itself is fantastic. Black and white but that's all good. It doesn't go off with bugs but does pick up the neighborhood cats. I've had no issues with the sync module itself which is what I'm doing the review on. I plug it in and that's all I've done. I have two blink 4 cameras for my front yard and back yard and both are connected to the one sync module. The only negative I can say is that you cannot see both live views at the same time. It's one or the other. I can bring the blink app on my phone and see both cameras but only one can be viewed at a time. There's also a bit of a lag. Maybe 5 to 10 seconds on each camera. I'm sure a psychotic serial killer cannot possibly hack me up in tiny pieces in that time frame so I feel relatively safe. I do like if there's a person or movement it can decipher the difference. The phone will alert me if there's movement and at any time I can see live views. The plans were a bit confusing to me. You do get a trial for each camera which is nice. But after that you have to figure out which plan you want. Otherwise if you don't pay for it you only get very limited servicethat for me isn't going to work or give me the peace of mind I need which is why I wanted a system in the first place. Overall, I think it's worth it. It's great for what you get and not too expensive. I don't need a professional to install it and don't need to put a bunch of wires and holes in my house. It's easy to use as long as you have wifi. No real issues with it. Definitely recommend.

This is a general review of Blink camera system and Sync module itself.After researching the available products, ring, wyze, etc. I selected Blink system for setting up my video perimeter. It had all the right features at a very affordable overall price.When you purchase their cameras they give a month of cloud service so you can try things out. Their cloud pricing is also very affordable and competitive.At the same time, Blink offers this thing called a Sync module in case you don't want to pay for cloud subscription. Initially I couldn't find documentation of how / what this thing does so what I'm writing here is based on experimentation.At a high level, Sync module offers a subset of feature of the cloud and is basically designed to do one thing: Record and store videos when a camera detects motion. Other features such as periodic taking pictures and storing is not not supported.Here's how things work with Blink app. It organizes the various cameras (outdoor, mini, doorbell, etc.) into what they call a "System". A "System" is pretty much a way to group things together. A group of cameras have the same on/off schedule, can be armed/disarmed at the same time, show up on the app on the same page, etc. Most importantly, a group of cameras share a single Sync module.For example, let's say you want to use blink to monitor two separate physical locations. If you are using the cloud, you can create a single group and add all the cameras to it even though they are located apart. But, if you don't want to use the cloud and instead use a sync module, you'll need to create two "Systems", each with its own Sync Module.Once you decide how to group your cameras, adding them to the account / app is easy. First, you add the Sync Module, then each individual camera. The process is very quick. I've done it a dozen times already and it's gone without a problem every time.Once created, you can arm the group for motion detection and recording. Every time motion is detected, the camera saves the video footage to the Sync Module. Once saved, you can look at saved video clips from the app, just like you'd if you had the cloud subscription.I've been very happy with the functionality of the Syn Module. I've recommended it to a bunch of other people and can say that so far, I know about 5 households that bought the Sync Module + a bunch of cameras and been using them with success.I've attached a few pictures of the app to show what you'll see if you setup a group and some of the adjustments available for an individual camera.-------------------------------------------------------The only problem i've had so far is one of the Sync Modules I purchased had a really strange issue. Everything worked except that it wouldn't actually record video to the USB. Camera would detect motion, send a notification, but no recorded video would show up. I did all the troubleshooting steps, called their support a few times, and unfortunately it wasn't solved. Also, there are no troubleshooting indicators available to figure out what was going on. Things either work or don't. I wish they provided some logs or other indicators to the user.At the end, I returned the thing, bought a new one, and it worked. So my conclusion is that specific Sync Module had an issue (hardware / software / who knows).
5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this as a replacement
The blink cameras are frustrating as I have found out. I’ve had them for over three years. My module that originally came with my cameras, decided to not function properly blink did not respond in a reasonable manner so I chose to buy other cameras that may be better suited for me, though the cameras that I bought instead of replacing the module due function, I’ve had problems lately with them so I decided to give Blink another try as a back up. I’m going to say it’s a reasonable value for the sync module. I had a hard time, but eventually got it to connect to my cameras
4.0 out of 5 stars Blink Technical support is limited.
I want four sync module units. Two of them are up and running in my home. One of those says it is offline. Yet on that offline sync unit, the cameras are working and the notification when motion occurs is also working. I basically have a working security camera system in my front yard. And in my backyard. Yet my backyard sink unit tells me it is offline, When it is obviously not. Technical support has had me reboot. That unit multiple times and reenter my password. When I do, the sink unit tells me that my password is incorrect. It is not incorrect. Blink, technical support out of the Philippines tells me. I need to contact my internet carrier. There is nothing wrong with my internet. Blinks, inability to solve my problem makes me question blink products, and my investment in that system.UPDATEAsked Blink to send me a new one under warranty. They did. New one works great. Problem solved. Upgrade from 1 star to 4 stars because problem resolved. No 5 stars because of bad unit shipped to me.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny!!!

Works great
Works great easy to use
Seems good but the app is a bit slow and glitchy
Happy so far, easy to set up, generally works well. The app is a bit slow and glitchy, doesn't always give access to live video and you need to close and re-open.
Little complicated.
It was little complicated at first as there weren't clear instructions how to use it, so have to figure out after searching only for videos. Bolo need to work on its instruction manual.
