The Sync module is a powerful Wi-Fi and RF camera synchronization tool that includes a mini-USB power adapter and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio. The front of the Sync module has LEDs for Wi-Fi and power status, while the side has a USB port for connecting a USB storage device, such as a USB flash drive (not included).
The Blink Outdoor uses the Blink Home Monitor app for Android, Fire OS, and iOS devices. A home screen opens with panels for each installed camera. Each panel contains a still image of the camera’s field of view and has a button to take a snapshot and a button to start a live stream. You can view the live stream in full screen mode by turning your phone sideways, and start a two-way conversation by pressing the talk button. When motion detection is enabled, a motion icon is displayed in the upper right corner, and there is a settings button next to it.
On the Camera Settings screen, you can check the battery level, view the current outdoor temperature, and set temperature threshold alerts. You can also create motion zones, configure motion sensitivity settings, set video clip length, configure video quality settings, enable/disable the microphone, edit Wi-Fi settings, and enable the photo capture feature. ..
The Echo Show 5 has a new design, with a port for the power adapter and a micro-USB port for maintenance. The 3.5mm audio output on the previous model has been removed, so you can no longer use a cable to send audio from the smart display to your speaker of choice.
Internally, the Show 5 still runs the same MediaTek MT8163 processor and uses the same 1.65-inch speaker driver for audio output. However, there is a hardware change that has been made to the 1MP front camera which has been replaced with a 2MP sensor. This upgrade is even if it’s not quite the jump from 1MP to 13MP that the Echo Show 8 made, which also adds digital panning and zooming to automatically track you on video calls.
