Yes, the new Blink camera is designed to work with the old Sync Module, although there is a caveat to that statement. It depends on which Blink camera model you are referring to, as the compatibility varies slightly between each model.
- If you are upgrading to the new Blink XT2 camera, then yes, it will work with the old Sync Module. This new camera is designed to work with both the first-gen and second-gen Sync Modules.
- However, if you are upgrading to the Blink Mini camera, then it will not work with the old Sync Module. This camera requires the Blink Sync Module 2, which is a separate device from the original Sync Module.
For those who have an older Sync Module and are looking to upgrade their cameras, it’s important to keep in mind that while the new XT2 camera will work with the old module, it requires a firmware update to be installed in order to function properly. After installing this update, the Blink XT2 camera will be able to take advantage of the additional features offered by the newer Sync Module 2.
It’s worth noting that if you’re planning on having both the original Blink camera and the new Blink XT2 camera, you can still use the same old Sync module. In this scenario, the new Blink XT2 camera will be associated with the old Sync Module, allowing you to manage both cameras in one location.
In summary, if you are upgrading to the Blink XT2 camera, it will work with the old Sync Module after downloading a firmware update. However, if you are upgrading to the Blink Mini camera, you will have to purchase the new Sync Module 2 separately.
