Blink cameras require an internet connection to function. They rely on Wi-Fi to send alerts and save recordings to the cloud. Without an internet connection, they cannot offer live view or recording features. However, they can be used for local video storage with the Sync Module 2 and a USB drive, but this also requires initial internet setup.
