If there are two cameras, one is located all the way in the front of the home, the second in the back, then the ideal position becomes the middle of the home, directly between the two cameras. Ideally, the Blink Sync Module should be located equidistantly between the connected cameras. Optimal Placement of the Blink Sync Module So, we’re looking for at least three bars on both indicators. This shows the strength of the low frequency radio signal between the camera and sync module.


Next is the Camera to Sync Module indicator. This measures the signal strength between the sync module and wireless router. The first indicator is the Camera to WiFi indicator. Les than three bars will result in unreliable communication. It is critical for each indicator to show 3 or more bars of signal strength. Selecting a camera’s settings will reveal two key strength indicators. No walls will generally increase that distance. Lots of masonry walls in between will decrease that number. There’s a power cable so the module needs to be located near a power source.Īccording to the manufacturer, the Sync Module should be able to communicate with Blink units up to 100 feet away in any direction. The Blink Sync Module is connected to WiFi via the wireless router at 2.4GHz using 802.11 b/g/n. This should not be confused with a WiFi signal like 802.11b. Unlike most wireless home security camera systems where the camera directly connects to WiFi, Blink cameras remotely connect to a centrally located device known as the sync module.Įach camera connects to the Blink Sync Module using LFR (low frequency radio). The Blink Sync Module is used on the Blink Indoor Home Security Camera and Blink XT Outdoor systems.

This article will focus on where to put the Blink Sync Module and how to put it there. Optimal positioning the Blink Sync Module makes a huge difference in the effectiveness of the remotely distributed cameras. The Blink Sync Module is an integral part of this security camera package.
