Ok, we had soooooooo much trouble trying to get bell part to click with the mounting. But I think I may have an idea.... When we took the "seal" off the mounting, the two pieces came together like a charm!! So, my husband and I are thinking the "seal" is actually just packaging and not necessarily supposed to be part of the mounting process.... I'm no blink expert, so take what I say with grain of salt. But, it WORKED ! Wish y'all the best!

thanks for tip , so helpful
Great video! Your instruction is very clear and easy to follow. I definitely feel a lot more confident about installing the one I just purchased.
Thank you for showing how to use the mount. I didn’t even know what that was and it really helped.
Thank you so much for your help. I found no manual of any kind in the box and was close to tears, but, KZread, is always the place to check for anything. After reviewing all of the "Blink" videos, yours by far, is the absolute best. Thanks again!!!

Get a therapist as well. Not having instructions should not be that emotional of an event.
I like it. The corner bracket was a little confusing thinks for clearing things up. Great and Informative video.
Thanks for the step-by-step guide.
This just became available to buy in the UK. I just got mine. This video is miles better than any of the instructions Amazon included. Thanks.
Very detailed video. Thank you.
Thank you! Was stumped after I added the module. I was sure the doorbell had already been added ie. passcode sent to my phone, etc. Sorted!
Thank you so very much!!! God bless you all!!!
Thank you! this video was super helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. I got the doorbell and an outdoor camera off of amazon during prime day. I had no trouble setting up the doorbell today and Im gonna put up the outdoor cameral tomorrow.
The camera box did not come with any usable instruction. But I do thank you for the instructions. This Texan could not figure out how to mount it without this video. Thank you much
Excellent video! Very clear and helpful. I will be referring back to it when I get ready to install my Blink.
Very useful - thank you
I just bought this doorbell and thanks 🙏🏾 to your instructions it was super easy for me to get it setup. Thank you 😃😃😃😃😃

Thank you!!! This video helped me so much. I didn't even use the instructions that came with it. Just your video! Thank you so incredibly much.
As for as "Wired or Wireless", the doorbell is only powered by the batteries. If you connect it to the existing doorbell wiring, you can get it to activate your existing house doorbell.otherwise, you only get a chime on your phone when the doorbell button is pushed.

Superb sir, thank you very much. Followed this step by step and installed with no problems.
the small screws with kit went through the back plate holes and the wedge holes but then would not actually screw in. Any ideas?? its like they need to supply a longer screw???
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
Thank you!
What if you already have internet at home can you just hook the blink up to your internet connect without buying the square blink.
Best install video hands down! You explained everything so thoroughly so I was able to do it as you did. I only got stuck on mounting the doorbell as I couldn’t get it to click in place but I figured it out. Thank you so much😊

Very good instructions. Worked perfectly. Many blessings.
Purchased one of these, should turn up today. I was wondering when I install the app, do I have to install the app and go through setup again each time when my mum and dad want to use blink camera and doorbell on their phone?
Totally gonna video my squirrels and give them a way to contact me. Thanks for the great video!!
great video!
Do you need the module if you are hooking it up to and Echo show?
Thank you so much for this video. Zero instructions included in box. I’ve workedon this two days now. So I don’t want to do any subscription. Do I just put a thumb drive in the sync module box? Do I need to change any settings? Thanks again!

You do not need the blink module. The doorbell works fine as a stand-alone but you do loose some features

Does the module need to be continously plugged in after installation

Do not remove the seal. Read your instructions so the clips and holes line up. Check how to do it before installing. You have to push down pretty hard to get it to snap in place.
Will this work with command strips? If you’re renting an apartment and don’t want to screw holes and all.
After you wire it and press the bell does the whole chime go throughout the whole house like the old bell or is it strictly on your phone?
@FindingDiamond
2 жыл бұрын
It only goes throughout the house if you are using it with a wired system (I.e.: replacing a standard doorbell with a chime throughout the house). If you’re not using a wired system then it will only chime on your phone.
When you press the doorbell will the Chime work off an existing chiming unit?.
Do you have to use that piece to unmount it. I can't find it and I need to resync the doorbell
Cool
I have the block module from my original block security cams can I use it for the blink doorbell
You can also heat up the silicone seal and it installs easier.
So ill need a sync module then as I never got one with the doorbell, right thanks.
do you need the anchors when mounting on the door frame?
@DR.K14
2 жыл бұрын
No. The anchors are for going into brick or stone
Does the module need to stay connected at all times once you have the door bell set up?
Can you arm some of the devices and not all of them in your system? Ie..I want the doorbells/outside cameras armed all the time, and the inside cameras only when I am not home.
If I set this up without the hard wire do I have to charge the door bell often?
A simple question: With the wireless system as you have put, what happens when someone presses the doorbell. Does your phone alert you? If you have Echo screen would that chime? Where is the audio 🔉 noise coming from to alert you? i.e. ding dong sound!?
I just bought the blink doorbell and two of the blink cameras for my husband for Christmas. Before I even start to mount the doorbell, do I absolutely need to have the sink module
So in order to operate this blink I have to purchase sinc module?
Very good video .
I have door bell just separate with sync module 2. Would it still work ?
does the doorbell ring anywhere else other than the actual doorbell itself? I mean can you hear it inside the house too? TY
Can this be hooked to two phones mine and my wife’s? Thanks
Did it come with that door mount?
Where does the chime sound come from when someone rings the doorbell? Phone?
Do you have to drill or can it just be stuck on?
Important note. Even if you use it as hardwired - it still runs on battery. The hardwire only makes your old doorbell work. It does not power the Blink doorbell camera.
