Overview
Blink floodlight camera — combined camera and LED floodlight for exterior coverage, wired or mount-kit configurations depending on SKU.
Blink cameras and doorbells deliver motion alerts, Live View, and optional clip recording through the Blink app. Most models require a Sync Module 2 or XR on the same account. Clip storage may use cloud subscription, local hub storage, or both depending on settings.

Before You Service or Replace One

- Sync Module online in app before blaming camera hardware.
- Battery type — lithium AA where specified; extension packs are model-specific.
- Subscription — cloud clip history requires active Blink plan where offered.
- Wi-Fi at mount — not just at router location.

How do I test after installation?
Run Live View and a motion walk test at the final mount location; confirm clips in app or local storage if enabled.
