Learn about Blink's recording options and whether free recordings are available or if a subscription is needed.

0 views

Blink does not offer free recordings. To access video history, customers need a Blink Subscription Plan. Without a plan, you can only view live video and receive motion alerts. For those seeking to save recordings, a subscription provides access to stored clips for a certain period. Alternatively, using a Sync Module 2 with a compatible USB drive allows local storage without a subscription. Choose the option that best meets your needs for accessing past footage.
