    Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. kzread.infoUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa

    When you have blink cloud the clips backup once a day to local storage but are only viewable by ejecting the usb storage device and opening them on your pc not available through the app unless you cancel the cloud subscription with no cloud subscription clips are stored on the sync module 2 usb storage but canceling cloud subscription you lose live video recording and hourly clips

It’s extremely stupid in my opinion. If I want to use my battery watching it live then let me. So what if I use the batteries faster.

I'm just taking a shot in the dark but maybe it's a feature of the Plus Plan and I'm still in the trial window so I have access to it. Devices with no plan are not able to view live streaming. However if the hardwire worked for you it's a decent work around if you don't have a plan.

    Ok, so I’m not going crazy. Only SOME people who have a blink doorbell, have the option to turn off the LED light when it’s recording on the doorbell!!! So far I’ve had 2 doorbells allow me, & 2 doorbells don’t allow me to turn it off whatsoever!!! It allows everyone to know when my camera is no longer recording, which signals them to pretty much run wild and free for 10 seconds and KNOW my camera isn’t recording!!! I don’t like it! i want my LED status OFF at all times so they’re not aware of how long my camera is really recording for!!
