We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version kzread.infoUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

That made me laugh out loud. I could see my dad having that same type of interaction with my stepmom. It's great to see older couples that are still in love and affectionate with each other. 🥰

Thank you. It looks great too.

How you got it mounted after you could not get it to stay the first time you never said how you did it that's the same problem I have

Hi, so the wired mode is for able to make sound the Analog chime? Nor for supply energy to the blink doorbell? Not for supress the use of the bateríes?. The wires provide or receive AC voltage?

@JackOfAllTrades2022

The batteries are still needed either way you choose, that's how the Blink door camera gets its power. In the wired mode, all that does is act as an trigger switch to activate your inside doorbell chime, your inside bell is normally 24 or 12 volts AC. The door bell button becomes just a switch when you program your Blink doorbell to activate this switch. Hope that helps.

I want to buy a doorbell and 3 camaras there’s is a blink kit compatible or need to buy separately? Thanks for sharing this video.

If the kit is all blink, it should all work together. Most of the time its cheaper to buy a kit.

Do you have a blink indoor chime or something compatible ? What are you using hear inside

It’s the existing door chime ( bell) inside the house. It connects to the blink doorbell,when you press the button, it rings both.

Thanks for this useful video. Can you tell me if there is a way to link it to a tv; echo show; etc to act as a monitor?

@JackOfAllTrades2022

I don’t think so, you may want to ask Blink, the manufacturer. You can monitor on your phone or IPad. It does alert you on your phone or iPad when motion is detected and creates a video when cameras are Armed. When disarmed, nothing is being recorded unless they press the bell button.

You don’t need a subscription if you use a USB drive to save your video files. But if you wat to save to cloud with thumbnails, I think it’s $6 a month per camera. You’d have to go to Blink.com to find out for sure. And I didn’t know they had a slimmer model, that’s new to me. You may have to Google that one. I don’t have to pay anything because I’ve been with them for many years and I have 6 cameras and one doorbell.

Did you turn off your power to the wiring?

@JackOfAllTrades2022

No, it’s only 24 volts but if you’re not experienced and are afraid of electricity,, I would suggest turning it off. You don’t want to accidentally short the wires and fry the transformer. It’s just better to turn it off. But like I said, it was just 24 volts and I was careful.

Does the led light stay on-on the doorbell camera?

It’s 24 volts, I didn’t turn the power off, but that’s up to you. They say to always turn off the power but if you touched the wires together, all it would do is ring the bell. I wouldn’t do it barefoot just because it is electricity.

Why did you keep the old doorbell? Can the blink replace an existing doorbell? Great vid by the way very helpful.

@JackOfAllTrades2022

Жыл бұрын

I didn’t want to put the Blink where the old button was because it’s so far from the door, should of been installed closer to the door when the house was built, and taking out the old button would of left wires exposed and a hole. I figured I’d leave them both, didn’t hurt anything. But the first thing they see now when they come to the house is the Blink. Either one works but they get to be on video as soon as they walk up. But you can remove the old button if you want, that’s just an option.

The batteries operate the camera like all the other Blink cameras, and basically the button is just another on/off switch for your doorbell for inside the house. Just a doorbell button. I wish they did use that 16/24 volts to operate the camera but they didn’t.

The two wires go to the blink in the back of the provided plate and connected to your door bell push bottom, doesn’t matter which way, it’s AC and can be wired either way.
