You can also just plug a usb into your base and use local storage. Avoiding the cloud fee program. Took me less than 5 minutes to setup.

Free cloud storage went away back in 2020. If you already have an existing system you can add these cameras to an existing account and continue to get free storage. If you have never had an account you will have to pay for cloud storage. It's $5 per camera a month or $100 for up to ten cameras if you pay an entire year upfront.

They should give you free Cloud Storage if you have an Amazon Prime account, already pay a fortune for that now they want to charge additional for cloud storage?

They reduced 1 year worth of free cloud storage to 2 months only for everyone regardless if you bought xt2 before 2020. I am not happy about that. Why isn't anyone suing Blink?

This doesn't seem correct according to the support page. For older Blink devices it looks like you get two hours of cloud still.


"XT2, XT, and Indoor (gen 1) cameras attached to a Sync Module 2 system do not have clips saved to the USB drive. These cameras do not require a subscription plan and continue to use their 7200 seconds per Sync Module of basic cloud storage."

Sorry. This original comment was meant for someone else.

I do remember them reducing the length of storage. From what I researched yesterday all new accounts require a subscription. Researching for my mom. Decided the $199 Costco deal is better than this one.

Not much of a discount for two used outdoor Blink cameras.

They bait and switched everyone. I was sold partially on the premise of free cloud storage. 6 months later "Your trial is coming to an end!". It was never positioned as a trial at time of purchase. Assholes.

You are correct. Forgot the XT2 was the first to have the USB slot. I rarely use the live feature. I always check after something was recorded from the app.

Guessing I would have to pull the USB out and check from a computer if I didn't have a subscription? Or do you still have access from the app to what is on the USB?

Now I am unsure what the new version with USB offers that is different.

That part you referenced is under "Existing Account Storage." First sentence before what you posted says:
Accounts that were created on or before April 15, 2020 continue to have the original 7200 seconds per Sync Module of basic cloud storage.

Adding more from the Blink website to hopefully clear it up.

How does the subscription plan work?
Because subscription services are cloud-based, we can continue to develop features that enhance your security and your lifestyle. Click here to view the latest subscription details and options.

Do I get a free trial of the subscription plan?
When you create a new account after April 15, 2020, and set up your Blink Outdoor, Indoor (2nd Generation), or Mini camera, you automatically begin a free trial of the Blink Plus Plan subscription.

What does the subscription plan include?
Your subscription plan lets you save motion clips and Live View sessions on our secure servers then access them from the Blink mobile app. Additional camera features and extended warranty are also provided. Learn more here about our subscription plan offerings and additional benefits.

What if I don't want to subscribe to the subscription plan or use local storage?
Without a subscription plan or free trial, your Blink system can only send motion alerts that connect you to that camera's Live View in the Blink App. Accounts that were created before April 15, 2020, can use their existing cloud storage as normal with newer cameras, but some features are only available with a subscription (or free trial subscription).

How does local storage work?
You can purchase a new system that includes the Blink Sync Module 2 and insert a USB flash drive (sold separately) to allow a once-daily backup of clips in cloud storage. Clip backups do not appear in the Blink app. You must eject the USB drive from the Sync Module 2 and view the clips on your computer. To purchase, visit here.

Last time I check Amazon page about a month back, they still listed free 1 year cloud storage for xt2. Not sure what is that all about. Misrepresentation
