Blink Sync Module 2 — Add‑On Hub with Local USB Storage

The Blink Add-On Sync Module 2 links up to ten Blink cameras and doorbells and adds optional local USB video storage for convenient off-cloud access.

The Blink Sync Module 2 acts as the central hub for compatible Blink devices, letting you manage cameras and store motion clips locally when you insert a USB flash drive (sold separately). It’s designed to work with most Blink Indoor, Outdoor, Video Doorbell, and Mini devices so you can view, share, and download recorded motion footage without a subscription, while keeping cloud features intact for those who use them.

How many Blink devices can the Sync Module 2 control?

The Sync Module 2 supports connection of up to 10 Blink devices from the compatible lineup, letting you manage multiple cameras and doorbells from one place in the Blink Home Monitor app. The Mini camera can be monitored via the app without requiring a sync module, but including it keeps device management centralized.

• Supports up to 10 compatible Blink Indoor, Outdoor, Video Doorbell, and Mini devices
• Mini cameras don’t require the module but may be added for centralized control
• Keep all device settings and alerts accessible in a single Blink app account

What local storage options and limits does it offer?

By inserting a USB flash drive (sold separately) into the Sync Module 2, you enable local storage of motion clips from supported cameras. The module accepts drives up to 256 GB and stores motion-triggered video files that you can view or export through the app or by connecting the drive to a computer.

• USB flash drive support up to 256 GB (drive not included)
• Only motion clips are saved locally; live view recording is not supported
• Access clips in-app or by removing the USB drive and using a computer

Which cameras are compatible with local video storage?

Local recording works with most current Blink cameras and the Video Doorbell, but a few older models are excluded from this feature. Notably, Blink XT2, XT, and first-generation Indoor cameras do not support local storage via the Sync Module 2.

• Compatible: Blink Outdoor, Indoor (current generations), Video Doorbell, and Mini
• Not compatible for local storage: Blink XT2, XT, and 1st-generation Indoor cameras
• Cloud recording and app features remain available for all cameras according to your Blink plan

Are there any fees or restrictions to using local storage?

Local storage functionality on the Sync Module 2 does not require ongoing monthly charges—once you have a compatible USB drive, there are no subscription fees for the stored clips. Keep in mind that the module won’t record live view footage, and some older models cannot use local storage, so check your camera generation before relying on this feature.

• No monthly fee required for local storage operation
• Local clips are motion-activated; live view is not recorded
• Ensure your cameras are compatible for seamless local saving

Who this is for: The Blink Add-On Sync Module 2 is made for households or small businesses that want centralized control of multiple Blink devices plus the option to keep motion videos locally without recurring fees. It’s ideal for users who prefer managing cameras from a single app and want an accessible archive of motion clips on a USB drive, while owners of older XT-series or first-generation Indoor cameras should verify compatibility before purchasing.
