Why isn’t my blink camera picking up motion?
If your Blink camera isn’t picking up motion, there are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the issue.
First, make sure the motion detection settings are turned on. To do this, open the Blink app and tap the menu in the top left corner. Scroll down and tap Settings, then Motion Detection. Make sure the switch next to Enable Motion Detection is in the on position.
If the motion detection settings are turned on, check to see if the camera is in the correct location. The camera should be facing the area you want to monitor for motion.
If the camera is in the correct location and the motion detection settings are turned on, there may be something blocking the view of the camera. Make sure there are no obstructions in the way, such as furniture or trees.
If there are no obstructions in the way and the motion detection settings are turned on, there may be a malfunction with the camera. In this case, you may need to contact Blink customer support.
How do I get my blink camera to record motion?
If you have a Blink camera, you may be wondering how to get it to record motion. Here’s how to do it:
First, open the Blink app and tap the three lines in the top left corner. Then, tap Settings and tap Motion.
Next, tap the switch next to Record Motion to turn it on.
You can also choose how long you want your motion recordings to be stored in the app. By default, they’re stored for seven days, but you can choose to store them for up to 30 days.
Finally, tap Save in the top right corner.
Why is my blink camera not showing clips?
There could be a number of reasons why your blink camera is not showing clips. One possibility is that you may have forgotten to charge your camera. Make sure that your camera is fully charged before trying to view clips.
Another possibility is that your camera may be full. If your camera is full, you will not be able to view clips. To view clips, you will need to delete some of the footage that is stored on your camera.
If neither of these solutions fix the problem, it may be that your camera is not working properly. In this case, you may need to contact blink customer service for assistance.
Why does my Blink camera take so long to start recording?
There can be a few reasons why your Blink camera takes a long time to start recording. One reason may be that your camera is not in range of the Blink Sync Module. Make sure that your camera is within range of the Sync Module and that there are no obstructions between them.
Another reason may be that your camera’s battery is low. If the battery is low, the camera may take a longer time to start recording. Make sure to keep your camera’s battery charged.
If you are still having trouble getting your camera to start recording, please contact Blink Customer Support for assistance.”
