Blink Sync Module XR - System hub for all Blink device

The new Blink Sync Module XR takes home security to new heights by extending the range and functionality of Blink Outdoor 4 cameras, making it possible to monitor hard-to-reach areas around your property. Designed with Blink’s proprietary extended-range radio, this module allows Blink cameras to be placed much farther from the primary Wi-Fi source, all while ensuring connectivity. With up to four times the range of the standard Blink Sync Module, this new release from Blink is a game-changer for those seeking more flexible and comprehensive property surveillance. Extended Range Capabilities The Sync Module XR is built to overcome Wi-Fi's limitations using Blink’s specialized extended-range technology. This functionality is ideal for users who want to install Blink Outdoor 4 cameras on areas like fences, gates, sheds, or driveway entrances. Now, depending on environmental factors, you can place your Blink cameras up to 250 feet away in standard XR mode and up to 400 feet in XR+ mode. This distance provides ample coverage for larger properties or homes with areas that need more thorough surveillance. While this extended range is powerful, it is essential to note that the XR module supports up to two Blink Outdoor 4 or Outdoor 4 Floodlight cameras per module. You can add a second Sync Module XR to your Blink account for larger setups, creating more flexibility in your security layout. Overcoming Obstacles: Better Signal Penetration The Sync Module XR’s proprietary technology allows its signal to penetrate common physical barriers more effectively than Wi-Fi alone. This improvement means that obstacles like walls, shrubs, and trees are less likely to disrupt your camera’s connectivity, making it possible to install your cameras in spots that Wi-Fi might struggle to reach. For best results, it’s recommended to place cameras so that the signal only needs to pass through one exterior wall. Performance can vary depending on the environment and other obstacles, so positioning for optimal signal is key. Compatibility and Requirements The Blink Sync Module XR is compatible with all existing Blink Outdoor 4 cameras and Outdoor 4 Floodlight Cameras. This backward compatibility means that current Blink Outdoor 4 users can integrate the Sync Module XR seamlessly into their setups without needing any new cameras. Out of the box, Outdoor 4 cameras will recognize the XR module’s extended range functionality, allowing users to maximize coverage instantly. It’s worth noting that up to two Sync Module XRs are supported per Blink account, ensuring that users with more extensive properties can still benefit from Blink’s extended range functionality. The module supports up to 10 cameras, with two eligible for XR or XR+ range extension. Video Resolution and Functionality at Extended Range While the Blink Sync Module XR provides unprecedented range, some video resolution and functionality adjustments depend on the camera’s distance from the module. Outdoor 4 cameras typically record in 1080p, but this can be reduced to 720p in XR mode and 360p in XR+ mode to maintain connectivity over longer distances. Additionally, two-way audio functionality may be affected as the range increases, particularly in XR+ mode. These adjustments are essential, especially if you require high-definition resolution and full functionality in distant areas. The system is designed to balance video quality with connectivity, providing the best possible performance within range limitations. Control and Management Through the Blink App Sync Module XR also simplifies the control and management of Blink devices through the Blink app, providing a central hub for monitoring and configuring your cameras. Users can quickly arm or disarm their security setup from the app, access live view, and customize settings for optimal performance. For those looking to store footage locally, Sync Module XR includes a MicroSD slot (MicroSD card sold separately), allowing users to save video clips without relying solely on the cloud. Pricing and Availability The Blink Sync Module XR is currently available in the U.S. and Canada at USD 59.99 (CA$79.99). As an added value, customers can enjoy a limited-time offer that includes a free Blink Outdoor 4 camera with the purchase of a Sync Module XR at the introductory price, making this a compelling option for those looking to expand their home security systems. Summary The Blink Sync Module XR is an excellent choice for homeowners who need a more versatile and powerful security setup. By extending camera range and connectivity options, the XR module enables greater freedom in camera placement, ensuring you can monitor areas that might otherwise be out of reach. Whether you’re installing cameras on a backyard fence, a remote entry gate, or at the edge of your driveway, the Sync Module XR provides the flexibility to keep your entire property secure, even across greater distances.
