In this video, I explain the real purpose of the Blink Sync Module and why some Blink cameras require it while others can connect directly to Wi-Fi. We’ll go through the history of the Blink Sync Module, how Blink uses low-power 900 MHz communication for battery-powered cameras, why 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is still listed in the specs, and what changed between the Sync Module 2, Core, and XR.

If you've ever wondered:

Why Blink Outdoor cameras require a Sync Module
Why Blink cameras still mention 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
What the Sync Module Core actually does
What the difference is between the Core and XR
Why Blink battery life lasts so long

…this video should help clear up the confusion.
