$ blinkops move --help
usage: blinkops move [-h] [--dry-run] [--cached] [--inventory-file INVENTORY_FILE] [--yes] [--force]
                     camera destination

Perform an ordered batch that moves a camera from its current station to another: save settings, remove it
from the source, register the same serial at the destination, restore settings, and verify the camera and
intended armed states. Outdoor 4, Outdoor 2K+, Mini, and Mini 2 keep the name and apply LED Always Off, Best
quality, 10-second clips, and Photo Capture off where supported. Mini setup happens in the Blink app; resume
to apply saved settings and finish. Other settings may reset on Outdoor 2K+ and Minis. XR/XR+ requires
--force and is re-registered on Wi-Fi; physical recovery may be needed. Unknown transports are blocked.
Outdoor 4 requires restorable settings unless --force accepts losing untested settings.

positional arguments:
  camera                Exact camera name or full serial
  destination           Exact system name or Sync Module serial

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --dry-run             Plan without changing devices
  --cached              Use saved inventory without a cloud request
  --inventory-file INVENTORY_FILE
                        Plan from an exported inventory JSON file
  --yes                 Confirm the transfer without prompting
  --force               Allow XR/XR+ moves onto Wi-Fi with physical recovery risk, and allow untested
                        Outdoor 4 settings to reset without restoration
