There are numerous options for you to accessorize your Blink camera system to have the widest range of coverage while also maintaining top efficiency. Below, we’ve covered every area imaginable when it comes to adding functionality to your cameras so that you can find the best one to suit your needs.

Floodlights are great for taking a step outside at night or letting the dogs out. They’re also great triggers for a home security system if someone goes onto your property. The Blink Outdoor Floodlight is an amazing outdoor camera accessory to enhance your Blink products. 

This outdoor floodlight has motion detection, shines up to 700 lumens to highlight and enhance the camera quality, works with Alexa, and is completely wireless. Its battery life lasts about two years. You can purchase this mount itself, or if you’re looking to get another Blink Outdoor Cam, you can get it as a bundle. 

Gresur Sync Module Holder

With Blink cameras, a Sync Module must remain connected to a power outlet to send your home’s WiFi signal to the cameras themselves. It acts as the central hub between your cameras and your connected smartphone device. When connected to the wall, it can be bulky, so a Sync Module holder eliminates annoying cables or dangling modules.

Gresur offers a Sync Module mount that plugs right into the wall and holds your Sync Module above the outlet. The holder saves space with its compact size while providing a short USB cord to prevent unorganized wiring. Along with enhancing the overall look of your room, it comes with a 64 GB flash drive for all your Blink system’s stored videos.

The mount can be placed anywhere in your home with an open outlet and does not require any tools, making the installation process a dream.

Frienda Adjustable Wall Mount

When looking to protect your home, there are many angles and positions to consider when finding the best placement possible. Due to the Blink camera’s size, some areas would be hard to reach or get into the camera’s view. Luckily, Frienda offers an adjustable, 360-degree wall mount that allows you to move your camera into any position you would like.

Along with 360 degrees of rotation, the pivoting mount offers 90 degrees of tilt to ensure that you can install your camera at precisely the right angle from any location.

This mount can be easily installed indoors or outdoors due to its included weatherproof silicone cover. Made from aluminum, the mount features an anti-slip device that guarantees your Blink camera’s stability and durability.

Uogw Flexible Mount

If wall mounting isn’t an option or won’t provide you with the best angle possible, Uogw has recently developed a flexible mount that you can put anywhere. The mount itself acts as a clamp to be attached to a railing, column, ledge, gutter, or anyplace else you can think of!

This flexible mount features adjustable arms that you can wrap around whatever surface you are looking to mount your Blink camera on. These arms are made from aluminum and covered in rubber material, providing flexibility and stability in the mounting process. They simply connect to the back of your Blink device, and then you are ready to go!

Installation only requires securely wrapping the attached arms around your preferred mounting surface, removing the need to use any tools. This mount allows you to get pretty creative and safely put your Blink camera somewhere you might never have thought possible before.

No matter how much you try, you almost always end up with some WiFi dead zone on your property. And conveniently, it’s always the spot where your camera is located.

The best solution for this problem is to add a Wi-Fi extender to your home. These generally plug into a wall outlet and work best when placed nearby your camera. However, not all range extenders are created equal and offer different features:

  • Netgear Wi-Fi Range Extender EX3700: Hovering around $35, you can’t beat Netgear’s extender’s price and functionality. It plugs into a power outlet and can accommodate 15 separate devices over 1000 square feet.Amped Wireless Athena-EX: If you’re working with a large space, the Amped Wireless Wi-Fi extender will cover 15,000 square feet and support a consistent download speed of up to 800mbps.Netgear Wi-Fi Mesh Range Extender EX8000: With coverage for up to 50 devices, this extender offers top-of-the-line connectivity for a home with lots of smart tech. If you have any issues outside of camera connectivity, this is your best bet to get great coverage across the board.

Adding a Wi-Fi extender will ensure that you always have a consistent and reliable connection between your internet and your camera. This will eliminate the risk of having a lapse in your camera feed or even having to reset the entire system after an outage.

Echo Show

This can be convenient when you’re in the middle of cooking dinner and want to say thank you to the UPS guy for remembering to drop off your package.

When installing a new security system, many people wonder how much more energy they will be using and if it will increase their electricity bill. If you have the Blink Outdoor Solar Panel Charging Mount, you won’t have to worry about spending excess energy. You also won’t have to worry about changing batteries or not having a camera during a power outage.

If you use this Blink camera accessory, you will need to have a Sync Module in your home. You can purchase the mount itself or buy a new camera with the mount. There are a few bundles you can pick and choose from when purchasing.

Conclusion

Many accessories will enhance your Blink camera experience and functionality, no matter how you slice it. These are all great tools to accompany your security system while also getting the most flexibility possible.
