Video Doorbell requires a Sync Module to function. Before setting up your doorbell, ensure you have a Sync Module connected to your account. If you don’t, refer to the steps below:
Setting up a Sync Module
Once your Sync Module has been set up, you can proceed with setting up your Video Doorbell in the Blink app.
- From the Home Screen, tap the + icon in the upper-right corner.
- Select Video Doorbell from the list of devices.
- Scan the QR code on the back of the device or tap Enter Serial Manually. Once the serial number has been recognised, select a system to add your Sync Module to and make sure it is disarmed. If no systems are available or if none exist, create a new one with a unique name, then tap Continue. Learn more about creating and managing systems.
- Remove the battery cover. Tap Continue.
- Insert the three included AA lithium (non-rechargeable) batteries. Tap Continue.
- Tap Discover Device when the LED ring flashes red, indicating it is ready for setup. If an error occurs, tap Retry and repeat the process. When successfully added, tap Continue.
- Name your device by selecting any of the available default options, or tap Custom to enter a unique name. When ready tap Continue.
- Tap Mount Doorbell and follow the in-app instructions to mount now. To skip mounting instructions, tap Maybe later.
- To complete set up, tap Done. Your Video Doorbell appears on the Home Screen under your selected system.
- If desired, you can now arm your system to enable motion notifications.
