Your Blink camera clips are currently stuck in the cloud and require a subscription to view. You can bypass this requirement by using local storage to host your video files.

  1. Insert a compatible USB memory stick into your Blink Sync Module 2 [1:09].
  2. Wait a few minutes for the Sync Module to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network [1:27].
  3. Access your saved clips directly through the Blink app where they will appear with a play logo instead of a thumbnail [1:46].
  4. Open the app home section, select your Sync Module, and tap on local storage to eject your USB drive safely [2:39].
  5. Plug the USB drive into your computer and open the Blink backup folder to view or transfer your files.

Ninja Tip: Keep an eye on your USB drive capacity as it is limited to 1GB and will stop saving new footage once full; consider clearing old files from your computer regularly to maintain space.

If you encounter persistent connectivity issues, perform a factory reset by holding the reset button on your Sync Module for ten seconds.
