There is an UPDATE! Multiple cameras are now recording at the same time. BUT the other errors are still ongoing. The cautions and errors listed in this video may not yield the same results in every instance. We urge everyone to test your system to see if this error is accurate in your case. Stay safe and keep on learning.
I have 10 blink cameras and have them grouped by location in and out the house. I have several sync modules for these groupings. I have front of house on one group and the back of house on another group so they will record at the same time. The blink sync modules are cheap and allow you to have the ability to record more than one camera at a tiime. Very easy to setup and no need to buy expensive alternatives.
I only have five cameras and one sync module do you think if I purchase one more module my cameras might work better having two modules instead of them all on one.
They don't. They talk about a grid feature where you can see multiple cameras at the same time but it turns out that is false, you can only live view one camera at a time.
After a year of using the Blink with 5 cameras outdoor and 1 doorbell camera I have discovered that it's unreliable. Whenever there is anything I need to see, it's always at that time nothing gets recorded. The system will trigger from a tree moving in the wind and not record the Amazon guy walking up. As you said, it can't record simultaneously. Also, even if you have great WiFi coverage to all cameras, if the Sync module is say plugged in the middle of your house, it may not reach so the cameras struggle. The money would have been better spent getting a full system with solar panels and wifi. The hassle just isn't worth it.
I've had 3 blink 3rd generation cameras for about a week. I'll probably be sending them on there way back to China soon. I mean there made in China if I'm not mistaken just like those glitzy emarald rings Amazon sells made in China for $1.99.. the ones that turn your fingers green. Well what can I say you get what you pay for. These useless cameras record maybe a second of a person's foot that was walking by if your lucky. At night they might catch a 1 second glimpse of a car light. You definitely could not identify what person it is, what vehicle it is, oh and that's if your cloud is working. I mean clips want always load so you can't look back and see the shoe😂 junk cameras!! So now I know they only record one camera at a time from this video, that's if you can keep up with expensive batteries.
I’ve had my blink system for several years now. Worked fine for the first year or more but over the last year I’ve had constant problems with them. Like not alerting me, not recording anything or sometimes it will and half hour later it doesn’t, and constantly going off line. Don’t waste your time or money. Switching to simply safe. My son has that and never had an issue
\the issue of only recording one camera is a big issue..it makes a blink system useless as a security system...Thanks for bringing it to our attention. What if two cameras are on separate modules will each be recorded on their module?
This is so helpful, I never realized this. Fortunately I have two blink modules and four cameras And I was using two cameras from the same module in the same room, now I'm going to swap out 1 camera in each room so I can get two recordings per room
I just purchased 10 Blink Outdoor cameras. I tested to recording capabilities with 4 camers grouped side by side. I made a motion to trigger to see which one(s) would record and found all four triggered and all four recorded at the same time. All four cameras were recorded at the same time with no problem. These are the Outdoor version and not the XT modles.
Wow! Ok. Questions.... How many sync modules are you using? Do you actually have all 4 recordings of the same time stamp? Man! This is exciting I hope they have fixed it. 🙏 😀
Does the App work ok with two modules? I already don't like the App, would like to see Amazon update it to be more user friendly, maybe include a section on hints and mounting ideas. The App just seems bear bones to me.
I purchased 1 blink outdoor solar camera, 2 wired flood lights, 1 doorbell, 1 indoor camera, 1 sync module. The entire system is absolutely horrible! This youtuber is correct in regards to only viewing 1 camera at a time. Also, there is at least a 15 second delay to load the live view in the app. This system is horrible!!! EDIT: Ive had this system for 1 year and will be ditching it as soon as i find a better system!
Thank you, was searching for sync module setup help for a five camera blink set after days of frustration. Now knowing no simultaneous recording of cameras on one sync module, no reliable live viewing, why would anyone ever use these with all of the errors? Nest works fine, I’m sure Arlo and Lorex don’t have similar limitations. Thankfully these are easily returnable to the Amazon mothership but how do these receive good reviews. I appreciate the honesty!
The blink system overall is beyond problematic. There is no "set and forget" about this system. Once the Trial of "Cloud storage" has run its course and you're shown what they can do, they take 90 percent of its functionality away again. wish I'd known this up front. Never would have bought them. I wish there was at least aftermarket software that would work on these cameras/synch box,but (to my knowledge) there isn't and with the advent of one camera at a time will work w/o the cloud just sealed its fate for me. total shit that wouldn't even make a proper doorstop or paperweight.
Overall if you own a home its a near perfect option for home security recording. Its also super user friendly. If you have a modest budget and would like some cameras for your property. Blink is amazing. Dont be detered by the minor details it works as intended as long as you have batteries in it I paid $200 for 3 cameras and a floodlight and unlimited plan which is $9 a month and it has never let me down
If I need backup camera for my camera system well that’s not good security system for me. I have 5 PoE ReoLink cameras as of now I installed them 5 years ago I never have issue -33°F or 115°F no problem
Good info and thanks for the update. I’ve used blink for years and still do and yes… these “errors/features” are annoying. Good price for the cameras though, but enough my wife and I are thinking of switching to something more “robust”.
Thanks for the great video! I have 2 cameras with full bars on sync module and wifi and batteries are new but lately been slower than normal to load live view taking about 20-30 seconds . Any ideas? I have sync module 1 with xt2 cameras btw
@@TeachMe101 no I haven’t done or added anything different . This started happening just outta the blue. I don’t wanna get the sync module 2 otherwise they’ll wanna charge the monthly fee. I still get the free 7200 minutes per module 😁
Don't buy BLINK! SLOW AND unre.iable! Almost as good as having NO cameras at all. Seems to have a delay in triggering. By the time it starts recording the trigger event is 90% past.
Very helpful video and the laugh track was a good touch. Here is an issue I just started having. I’ve had my system for 3 months now and for some reason about 2 weeks ago I can no longer watch my recorded clips in landscape mode. Live feed I can still watch in landscape mode. My clips are stored on the Blink USB, any ideas ?
That's a great question. Like Blink, Ring will record multiple camera views at once but you can only view one camera at a time. However, you can log in to your Ring account on more than one operating system, and live view 2 different devices at the same time this way. Also make sure to watch my Blink Update video. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there.
You do great videos! Thank you so much for doing them! Wouldn't buying a second Sync 2 module be an acceptable less expensive solution instead of going out and buying the more expensive third camera you recommended? Also, is it possible to have 3 Blink cameras on the $30 a year per device subscription plan AND also have a fourth camera but connect it to the Sync 2 module only or will Amazon make me link the 4th one to the subscription service?
My blink system stopped the notifications when I upgraded to iOS 16.1 on my iphone 11. Have you heard of this or know a solution. Love all your content, has helped me keep my Blink system going.
Thanks S Garcia! You're the best. I'm sorry to hear about your notification issues. Try this: support.blinkforhome.com/en_US/issues-with-the-blink-app/im-not-receiving-motion-alert-notifications
I have 7 Blink Cameras and although I do have these issues once in awhile , I see none of them as an actual "real world" problems. The ONLY way I would see a problem is if you have a LOT of action in/around your house. 2 of the 7 cameras are on birdbaths which trigger a lot and it's still not a problem with other acrion around the house (cars in / out driveway, lot of Amazon deliveries, Bears around often, etc.....)
I get the camera busy on my tablet & phone even when its not recording. If i turn it from lanscape to portrait it will usually work. I called Blink & after an hour on the pnone they could not resolve the issue. I also have a problem with notification delay, usually notifies me after it's half way done or done recording.
I have a had two blink outdoor cameras for two years now with no problems, but since Blink sent me notification that my trial to the cloud had expired the problems have begun. At the moment I am receiving a error notification " Manifest stale,please re-request" so I can't connect to my storage to view my clips. Also one of the camera is showing a poor connection to my wifi, which has never happened before. I'm wondering if Blink might be sending gremlins to my system because I haven't paid a subscription.
I had that feeling too! After a year the system acts up. Doesn’t take video when someone was there.. or take a long clip for short action. And vise versa. Shade an area and I still records action. 🤦🏻♂️ I won’t buy another.
I have 4 Blink Mini installed and a blink Doorbell. The dining room and family room both record a person standing in the kitchen (being seen by both cameras). But I am waiting for two blink outdoor cameras to come from Amazon so I will test this when I get them installed
@@TeachMe101 I reviewed several clips again carefully and now it looks more like the 2nd camera is picking up the event after the 30 second recording stops. 😖 I walked straight away from one camera into the line of sight of camera 2, then turned and walked into room with camera two and was able to see that my first few steps leading into the new room were not captured. Then, i walked back into the kitchen (in the line of sight of camera 1) and while camera 2 was still recording me, camera 1 didn’t record a clip. Sorry 😞 my original comment was based off clips I had watched not noticing these missing fragments so it wasn’t until a few minutes ago that I did a physical test. So you’re 100% right and this is quite irritating. I have these Blink in my moms house and I have Ring cameras in my home. I know with Ring, there’s a setting where you can have it that the cameras work in tandem - meaning when one camera sees movement, all cameras turn on and start recording. I don’t have mine set up that way but it’s good to know it’s an option
@@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens Thanks again for the effort and for the thorough explanation. Unfortunately, Blink cameras are becoming increasingly unimpressive. They are a basic recording system. I believe I expected too much from them. But it's good to know about the tandem recording on the Ring system. That makes me feel better. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate you. Stay safe out there.
@@TeachMe101 Ok! i know why I initially thought they were recording simultaneously. I have a Blink doorbell on a different System so when there is recording happening there, the dining room camera is also recording!! I noticed someone else’s comment on this video saying he uses several modules and sets up zones (Actually referred to as “Systems”) so I will reconfigure mine. Sounds like a pretty good work around 😊
Forgive, it's me again. I understand that the cameras communicate with the sync module and themselves by low frequency waves but only the module is connected to the wifi network. If that's true, does each camera act as a relay? Thanks again and I'm sorry for the bother ...
That's a great question! As far as I know, each camera reports it's data directly to it's sync module. I have found no other information to the contrary.
Question... Using windows 11. (one tower PC) Can the blink cam show up on one monitor. on (WEBSITE) example google browser While at the same time..... WYZE cam, show up on another monitor. on (WEBSITE) example firefox browser. ????? Both using WIFI
That's a great question. If you can install the Blink app on those devices, then yes. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any other viewing solutions at this time.
Thank you for the information shared here. I heard a man's voice on a video clip at my video doorbell. I called Blink and was told the video doorbell cannot be hacked. Is this true? How can I make absolutely sure it's not hacked? Thank you...
I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble. I know that scary. Unfortunately there's no way to know for sure if the system was hacked. But if it was, you should be able to prevent it from happening again by changing your passwords. You need to change the password of your Blink account and your router. Make sure the new one is at least 10 characters long and contains letters, numbers, and symbols. You can also watch my video called, "Hacked" for more information. I hope this was helpful to you.
It is true that you can only view one camera at one time because you only have one sync module, but you can get another sync module to fix that problem.
Or you can buy two 1 camera and sync module getting you front and back recording protection at the same time. Thanks Teach Me about 2 very important facts. Blink needs to update the sync module that is a problem.
You Are Right , now I have a question, what is the back up camera the name /Branch pop pop camera instead I had several blink, and Like you said mostly show camera busy, oh lord please answer my question,thank you
Hi Nice! You can try Arlo. Here's the link: a.co/d/6OjQTCH or A Reolink Camera a.co/d/fh6YFvu Either of these is good for a backup camera. Thanks so much for your comment and question.
All I have are older XT and XT2 cams on my system, and they have no problems recording simultaneously, also while their on the same sync module, maybe this is a limitation of newer cams and sync modules
I just got a Mini Blink. It’s wired. I have it pressed right up against a window to monitor my driveway/vehicle, etc. it’s perfect from X time to X time during the day. But from the specific night time (yes it’s dark and does detect) it stops until X time in the morning. For example, 9pm till 9am. I want it for overnight security. I have NO scheduled set, I have it set to detect movement, I have LED on….I have ALL the appropriate settings for it to record. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it? I only have the 1 mini blink. I do have a secondary of a different brand, but I want this one to be working when I need it to be.
Hi Amy! It sounds like the motion detection may not work through the window at night. Some windows have a UV coating that may prevent it from working well in the dark. Let's try a test. Try to simulate the same dark conditions inside the house. Then check to see if the motion detection system works without the window barrier. If it works, then you may have to find a way of mounting it on the other side of the window.
Adding cameras can effect your internet contract. Each camera is a device. If you subscribe to unlimited internet service, you’re good to go. But if your service has device restrictions, adding cameras would/ could be a problem.
Thanks for the review on Blink Camera. I have came across another issue with the blink camera. I connected to a new Internet. The blink camera would not reconnect to the new Internet connection so I deleted the account everything for the Blink set up and I’m having issues reconnecting the Blink camera with the new Internet connection, I’m getting an error message. I think it said 204. It’s very frustrating.. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again.
I had a lightening strike a tree in my back yard. There are two cameras on that sync module. Both cameras activated shortly afterwards and I have both videos and both angles saved. The strike wasn't cought but the falling leaves falling and grass sod and dirt flying through the air were cought. Piss poor quality but I got both at the same time.
Hi Jerry! Thanks for the comment. I hope everyone is OK after the lightning strike. That's crazy! How many sync modules do you have connected to your cameras? And how long have you had them?
@@TeachMe101 hello! I have two sink modules. The two cameras that caught the aftermath were on the same module. I have a module for the outdoors and I have a module for the garage pointing towards the garage door and one for the front and back house entry doors. Nothing points indoors towards living areas. I'm very skeptical of the security of these cameras. I do get the "camera is busy" message while I'm trying to scare off solicitors while I'm at work. I guess there will always be possibility for a security issues if you can monitor what's happening at home. I should probably post those lightning strike videos on my RUclips channel
Question 1: Are you saying you have experienced this FIRST HAND yourself with your Blink Sync module and cameras? Google searches offer conflicting reports saying Blink can have two different cameras recording at the same time. Question 2: If I bought 4 Blink outdoor cameras, I could possibly solve that problem by purchasing 4 Sync modules, one dedicated to each camera? Less expensive than buying a new camera system. Anyone interested in Reolink cameras, according to their website: "Reolink cameras systems can perform well under the temperature range of 14° to131°F,. It is not recommended to put Reolink Cameras or NVRs under extremely cold weather that may affect cameras in optic and mechanical disruptions." Most other outdoor security cameras(like Blink) have operating temps of -4° to 113° F. Perhaps you might consider the eufyCam 3 (S330) system. It has a solar panel built in on top but it appears to be much more expensive.
Yes! We tested our Blink camera system before publishing the video. Our cameras did not record 2 separate events at one time. However, as we said in the disclaimer, some results may vary. So please conduct the test for your system to determine if the results are the same. And Yes again! You can purchase a separate module for your other cameras. That has become the growing consensus on this topic. Thanks again for the questions and comments. They are much appreciated. Have a great New Year!
Not happy with my Blink for these reasons and like everyone else, wish I had seen this video before buying. These things are important factors and were not disclosed. Someone rings the bell and my camera takes forever to see the person. Also, get errors on the time telling me to WAIT! Sure hope that no one breaks through the front door! Frustrated at this point. Today having a problem with my Blink - asked my Alexa to show Camera 1 and it just stays stuck on stupid with this comment, "Waiting for Blink". Looks like I will definitely not feel safe until I buy a back-up.
What if i have two modules set up. For example have 3 cameras on 1 module grouped as front cameras. Then a second module with 3 cameras grouped as backyard. Will that record an event going on simultaneously in front and back yard . Will i get both recordings at the same time
I have 4 cameras outside my neighbor hacked into my cameras threw my phone I called blink they ran a test an she said yes it's been hacked go to police I asked can u send me something to prove it she told me we don't get involved in that so I went they said they need proof a month later I was broken into.they have a bad rating with the better business burrow
I have my blink camera in the kitchen window and it will pick me up on the side that there's no camera but will not pick up motion on the camera side. Sad
That's a great question. 👍 The difference is probably in the amount of use. One camera is probably tracking more motion than the other. Thus, it's using more power.
@@TeachMe101 OK, but why would one AA use all the juice, and the other be almost full on the same camera? It's like its only running on 1 battery! It does it on all 3 of our cameras! I'm changing batteries almost once a month, and they not cheap!!!
@@davidregan9872 Let's try swapping the cameras around. Move the troubled camera to a good area and the good camera to the bad area. This should let us know whether it's the camera or the batteries. Please let me know. Thanks David
With so many Blink camera owners the drawbacks to them should be nonexistent like watching multiple cameras at once, cast or connect from sync module to TV. A lot of the coding for this wouldn't take long for a company of this size! I invested in the wrong company I guess. Also the battery life is terrible and using a USB cable for power outdoors compromises the water sealing 🙄
I have cameras at the front and back of the house, what if I had two sync modules and put the front cameras on one, and the rear cameras on the other, would you then get simultaneous recording ??
This is PATENTLY **INCORRECT**! These cams absolutely **DO** record simultaneously!! True that in the app - you can only live-view one at a time; however, if events are happening at multiple cams at the same time - each one absolutely **WILL** record & save a clip!
@@TeachMe101 Good morning. Thanks. But I was thinking about the time it takes to switch from one camera to another, if say, an object moves from the view of one into that of the other. I'm in Sierra Leone, West Africa and need to research before ordering. Thanks again and good day ...
hi i just found your video talking about outdoor security cameras and I have the blink mini wireless outdoor camera but it seems from different videos I watch that I should return it. I live in a rental so having wire camera system probably will not be allow. I can't even mount a Tv on the wall so I sure I can't wire drill into the wall. I look for clear video quality and record time with actual motion is being detected. Plus night vision. I thought to purchase extra motion light for that which camera is best.

Hi Jerry. Yours is a unique experience. In fact, you are the only person that I have encountered that has not had this problem. It maybe because of the age of your system. If you are able to record without a subscription, then your system may not have the faults of the new system.
Hey Susan! Thanks for the comment. Yes you are correct. Blink cameras won't record without a subscription plan. Its good for live viewing, motion alerts, and 2 way audio.
Does anyone know if you can have 2 sync modules on the same account I currently have 10. I would like to change it to 5 on each module so I can cover entrance with multiple angles
anybody else getting ten feet or less range on their outdoor blink camera? I’m going to call them, but i feel they will just make excuses and wild goose chases.
@@TeachMe101 yeah i went all the way up. it’s possible that it’s being affected by the mount being on a 5-10 degree tilt on the siding. i’ll level it out and hope that helps. i’ve ran many tests in different positions and settings.
Is anyone having an issue with long loading for live view or a blink motion notification? If so any advice on how to fix this. When I say long loading I mean nearly 45-60 seconds long
HI Kt Hatch! Yes I definitely agree. That was one of the reasons I installed a hard wired system. Blink just won't do it. They should at least allow the feature on continuous power. Good Point.
Hi No Name! Humm.... That's a good question. So you are receiving notifications but no video is recorded. There are 2 possible reasons: 1. The system is not armed or set to record 2. No subscription plan has been connected. If you are able to watch the LIVE feed with no issue but it won't record, then it's probably because of one of these reasons. Thanks for taking the time to ask and watch the video. Be safe out there!

I purchased 1 blink outdoor solar camera, 2 wired flood lights, 1 doorbell, 1 indoor camera, 1 sync module. The entire system is absolutely horrible! This youtuber is correct in regards to only viewing 1 camera at a time. Also, there is at least a 15 second delay to load the live view in the app. This system is horrible!!!
EDIT: Ive had this system for 1 year and will be ditching it as soon as i find a better system!
Thank you, was searching for sync module setup help for a five camera blink set after days of frustration. Now knowing no simultaneous recording of cameras on one sync module, no reliable live viewing, why would anyone ever use these with all of the errors? Nest works fine, I’m sure Arlo and Lorex don’t have similar limitations. Thankfully these are easily returnable to the Amazon mothership but how do these receive good reviews. I appreciate the honesty!
You are welcome GTAMoto! I'm glad it helped. I love the "Amazon Mothership" comment. LOL :-)
The blink system overall is beyond problematic. There is no "set and forget" about this system. Once the Trial of "Cloud storage" has run its course and you're shown what they can do, they take 90 percent of its functionality away again. wish I'd known this up front. Never would have bought them. I wish there was at least aftermarket software that would work on these cameras/synch box,but (to my knowledge) there isn't and with the advent of one camera at a time will work w/o the cloud just sealed its fate for me. total shit that wouldn't even make a proper doorstop or paperweight.
Very frustrating, I no!! Junk cameras
Overall if you own a home its a near perfect option for home security recording. Its also super user friendly. If you have a modest budget and would like some cameras for your property. Blink is amazing. Dont be detered by the minor details it works as intended as long as you have batteries in it
I paid $200 for 3 cameras and a floodlight and unlimited plan which is $9 a month and it has never let me down
Like the laugh track, very creative! Make more videos!
If I need backup camera for my camera system well that’s not good security system for me.
I have 5 PoE ReoLink cameras as of now I installed them 5 years ago I never have issue -33°F or 115°F no problem
That's exactly right! Blink was terrible before the upgrade. Check out my latest post.
Good info and thanks for the update. I’ve used blink for years and still do and yes… these “errors/features” are annoying. Good price for the cameras though, but enough my wife and I are thinking of switching to something more “robust”.
I had to hit that subscribe button for the great info and you reminding me of Donnie Simpson!
Didn't realize that issue with Blink. Good info.
I just purchased the outdoor camera for my living room because I didn’t want the indoor camera. I preferred the black over the white one
You are better off using only the out door cameras. You will have the option to relocate it anywhere without restrictions.
Thanks for the great video! I have 2 cameras with full bars on sync module and wifi and batteries are new but lately been slower than normal to load live view taking about 20-30 seconds . Any ideas? I have sync module 1 with xt2 cameras btw
Sure. Check for anything that could be interfering with the Wi-Fi signal. Have you installed anything new in the room?
@@TeachMe101 no I haven’t done or added anything different . This started happening just outta the blue. I don’t wanna get the sync module 2 otherwise they’ll wanna charge the monthly fee. I still get the free 7200 minutes per module 😁
Don't buy BLINK! SLOW AND unre.iable! Almost as good as having NO cameras at all. Seems to have a delay in triggering. By the time it starts recording the trigger event is 90% past.
Holy crap was just about to press the button on this, that's quite a dealbreaker
Very helpful video and the laugh track was a good touch. Here is an issue I just started having. I’ve had my system for 3 months now and for some reason about 2 weeks ago I can no longer watch my recorded clips in landscape mode. Live feed I can still watch in landscape mode. My clips are stored on the Blink USB, any ideas ?
I have the same problem, please let me know what you did to fix it
Hi Ron! That's a programing issue in the app. It "should" be resolved in a future update. I wish I could tell you more. So sorry for the trouble.
have you tried reinstalling the app?
Does Ring allow you to record or watch 2 cameras at one time? Also, i haven't gotten the "camera busy" notification since the newest update.
That's a great question.
Like Blink, Ring will record multiple camera views at once but you can only view one camera at a time. However, you can log in to your Ring account on more than one operating system, and live view 2 different devices at the same time this way.
Also make sure to watch my Blink Update video.
Thanks for watching and stay safe out there.
You do great videos! Thank you so much for doing them!
Wouldn't buying a second Sync 2 module be an acceptable less expensive solution instead of going out and buying the more expensive third camera you recommended?
Also, is it possible to have 3 Blink cameras on the $30 a year per device subscription plan AND also have a fourth camera but connect it to the Sync 2 module only or will Amazon make me link the 4th one to the subscription service?
You don't even have to do this - as this "information" is patently INCORRECT/*WRONG*!!
Did you ever find an answer to your question about 3 cameras on the $30 a year plan?
Thank you much for posting this.
My blink system stopped the notifications when I upgraded to iOS 16.1 on my iphone 11. Have you heard of this or know a solution. Love all your content, has helped me keep my Blink system going.
Thanks S Garcia! You're the best. I'm sorry to hear about your notification issues. Try this:

@@TeachMe101 Thank you!
I have 7 Blink Cameras and although I do have these issues once in awhile , I see none of them as an actual "real world" problems. The ONLY way I would see a problem is if you have a LOT of action in/around your house. 2 of the 7 cameras are on birdbaths which trigger a lot and it's still not a problem with other acrion around the house (cars in / out driveway, lot of Amazon deliveries, Bears around often, etc.....)
I get the camera busy on my tablet & phone even when its not recording. If i turn it from lanscape to portrait it will usually work. I called Blink & after an hour on the pnone they could not resolve the issue. I also have a problem with notification delay, usually notifies me after it's half way done or done recording.
I have a had two blink outdoor cameras for two years now with no problems, but since Blink sent me notification that my trial to the cloud had expired the problems have begun. At the moment I am receiving a error notification " Manifest stale,please re-request" so I can't connect to my storage to view my clips. Also one of the camera is showing a poor connection to my wifi, which has never happened before. I'm wondering if Blink might be sending gremlins to my system because I haven't paid a subscription.
🤔
I had that feeling too!
After a year the system acts up. Doesn’t take video when someone was there.. or take a long clip for short action. And vise versa.
Shade an area and I still records action. 🤦🏻♂️
I won’t buy another.
I have 4 Blink Mini installed and a blink Doorbell. The dining room and family room both record a person standing in the kitchen (being seen by both cameras). But I am waiting for two blink outdoor cameras to come from Amazon so I will test this when I get them installed
Awesome! Thanks for testing. ❤️ Are they recording a single event or it is recording one after the other? Thanks so much for helping.
@@TeachMe101 I reviewed several clips again carefully and now it looks more like the 2nd camera is picking up the event after the 30 second recording stops. 😖 I walked straight away from one camera into the line of sight of camera 2, then turned and walked into room with camera two and was able to see that my first few steps leading into the new room were not captured. Then, i walked back into the kitchen (in the line of sight of camera 1) and while camera 2 was still recording me, camera 1 didn’t record a clip. Sorry 😞 my original comment was based off clips I had watched not noticing these missing fragments so it wasn’t until a few minutes ago that I did a physical test. So you’re 100% right and this is quite irritating. I have these Blink in my moms house and I have Ring cameras in my home. I know with Ring, there’s a setting where you can have it that the cameras work in tandem - meaning when one camera sees movement, all cameras turn on and start recording. I don’t have mine set up that way but it’s good to know it’s an option
@@Cathy_MidwestHome_Hens Thanks again for the effort and for the thorough explanation. Unfortunately, Blink cameras are becoming increasingly unimpressive. They are a basic recording system. I believe I expected too much from them. But it's good to know about the tandem recording on the Ring system. That makes me feel better.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate you.
Stay safe out there.
@@TeachMe101 Ok! i know why I initially thought they were recording simultaneously. I have a Blink doorbell on a different System so when there is recording happening there, the dining room camera is also recording!! I noticed someone else’s comment on this video saying he uses several modules and sets up zones (Actually referred to as “Systems”) so I will reconfigure mine. Sounds like a pretty good work around 😊
Forgive, it's me again. I understand that the cameras communicate with the sync module and themselves by low frequency waves but only the module is connected to the wifi network. If that's true, does each camera act as a relay? Thanks again and I'm sorry for the bother ...
That's a great question!
As far as I know, each camera reports it's data directly to it's sync module. I have found no other information to the contrary.
Is that an actual studio? That set is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about the new blink doorbell cam? Is the all new outdoor and doorbell blink separate cams??
Question...
Using windows 11. (one tower PC)
Can the blink cam show up on one monitor. on (WEBSITE) example google browser
While at the same time.....
WYZE cam, show up on another monitor. on (WEBSITE) example firefox browser.
?????
Both using WIFI
That's a great question. If you can install the Blink app on those devices, then yes. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any other viewing solutions at this time.
This system will record the blink doorbell and an outdoor camera at the same time though. 1 sync module, same system.
Awesome ! Really informative info.
I just already bought 7 Blink for my house.
Thanks Gabriel! I encourage you to do your own test too. Thanks for your kind words. 😊
Fantastic music !!!
Thank you for the information shared here. I heard a man's voice on a video clip at my video doorbell. I called Blink and was told the video doorbell cannot be hacked. Is this true? How can I make absolutely sure it's not hacked? Thank you...
I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble. I know that scary. Unfortunately there's no way to know for sure if the system was hacked. But if it was, you should be able to prevent it from happening again by changing your passwords. You need to change the password of your Blink account and your router. Make sure the new one is at least 10 characters long and contains letters, numbers, and symbols. You can also watch my video called, "Hacked" for more information.
I hope this was helpful to you.

What if you run 2 different modules so 1 for the front yard and one for the back yard?
Hi Jacob! Yes that should work fine. A few people have already tried that with success.
Thanks so much for asking! 👍😊
It is true that you can only view one camera at one time because you only have one sync module, but you can get another sync module to fix that problem.
Hi Jerry. Yes for most users adding a second sync module will solve that problem.
Or you can buy two 1 camera and sync module getting you front and back recording protection at the same time. Thanks Teach Me about 2 very important facts. Blink needs to update the sync module that is a problem.
You Are Right , now I have a question, what is the back up camera the name /Branch pop pop camera instead I had several blink, and Like you said mostly show camera busy, oh lord please answer my question,thank you
Hi Nice! You can try Arlo.
Here's the link:
a.co/d/6OjQTCH
or
A Reolink Camera
a.co/d/fh6YFvu
Either of these is good for a backup camera.
Thanks so much for your comment and question.
All I have are older XT and XT2 cams on my system, and they have no problems recording simultaneously, also while their on the same sync module, maybe this is a limitation of newer cams and sync modules
I just got a Mini Blink. It’s wired. I have it pressed right up against a window to monitor my driveway/vehicle, etc. it’s perfect from X time to X time during the day. But from the specific night time (yes it’s dark and does detect) it stops until X time in the morning. For example, 9pm till 9am. I want it for overnight security. I have NO scheduled set, I have it set to detect movement, I have LED on….I have ALL the appropriate settings for it to record. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it? I only have the 1 mini blink. I do have a secondary of a different brand, but I want this one to be working when I need it to be.
Hi Amy! It sounds like the motion detection may not work through the window at night. Some windows have a UV coating that may prevent it from working well in the dark. Let's try a test.
Try to simulate the same dark conditions inside the house. Then check to see if the motion detection system works without the window barrier.
If it works, then you may have to find a way of mounting it on the other side of the window.
Adding cameras can effect your internet contract. Each camera is a device. If you subscribe to unlimited internet service, you’re good to go. But if your service has device restrictions, adding cameras would/ could be a problem.
Hi Steve! That's good advice. Thanks for sharing.
Will a additional sync allow two cameras to work at the same time
Thanks for the review on Blink Camera. I have came across another issue with the blink camera. I connected to a new Internet. The blink camera would not reconnect to the new Internet connection so I deleted the account everything for the Blink set up and I’m having issues reconnecting the Blink camera with the new Internet connection, I’m getting an error message. I think it said 204. It’s very frustrating.. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again.
I had a lightening strike a tree in my back yard. There are two cameras on that sync module. Both cameras activated shortly afterwards and I have both videos and both angles saved. The strike wasn't cought but the falling leaves falling and grass sod and dirt flying through the air were cought. Piss poor quality but I got both at the same time.
Hi Jerry! Thanks for the comment. I hope everyone is OK after the lightning strike. That's crazy! How many sync modules do you have connected to your cameras? And how long have you had them?
@@TeachMe101 hello! I have two sink modules. The two cameras that caught the aftermath were on the same module. I have a module for the outdoors and I have a module for the garage pointing towards the garage door and one for the front and back house entry doors. Nothing points indoors towards living areas. I'm very skeptical of the security of these cameras. I do get the "camera is busy" message while I'm trying to scare off solicitors while I'm at work. I guess there will always be possibility for a security issues if you can monitor what's happening at home. I should probably post those lightning strike videos on my RUclips channel
@@TeachMe101 I've had them for about 2 years I think
Thanks Jerry! One sync module for each camera seems to be the work around for most people. And yes! Please post that video... I'd love to see it. :-)
Question 1: Are you saying you have experienced this FIRST HAND yourself with your Blink Sync module and cameras? Google searches offer conflicting reports saying Blink can have two different cameras recording at the same time.
Question 2: If I bought 4 Blink outdoor cameras, I could possibly solve that problem by purchasing 4 Sync modules, one dedicated to each camera? Less expensive than buying a new camera system.
Anyone interested in Reolink cameras, according to their website:
"Reolink cameras systems can perform well under the temperature range of 14° to131°F,.
It is not recommended to put Reolink Cameras or NVRs under extremely cold weather that may affect cameras in optic and mechanical disruptions."
Most other outdoor security cameras(like Blink) have operating temps of -4° to 113° F.
Perhaps you might consider the eufyCam 3 (S330) system. It has a solar panel built in on top but it appears to be much more expensive.
Yes! We tested our Blink camera system before publishing the video. Our cameras did not record 2 separate events at one time. However, as we said in the disclaimer, some results may vary. So please conduct the test for your system to determine if the results are the same. And Yes again! You can purchase a separate module for your other cameras. That has become the growing consensus on this topic.
Thanks again for the questions and comments. They are much appreciated.
Have a great New Year!
I am super not happy about this, why would I want 2 camera systems or a backup, which system should I get
Not happy with my Blink for these reasons and like everyone else, wish I had seen this video before buying. These things are important factors and were not disclosed. Someone rings the bell and my camera takes forever to see the person. Also, get errors on the time telling me to WAIT! Sure hope that no one breaks through the front door! Frustrated at this point. Today having a problem with my Blink - asked my Alexa to show Camera 1 and it just stays stuck on stupid with this comment, "Waiting for Blink". Looks like I will definitely not feel safe until I buy a back-up.
so then would it be best to have two sync modules and have the front on one and back on the second?
Thanks! You are great! Subbing!
Thanks for the sub!
Could you have multiple sync modules so cameras do record at same time???
Yes you could but you won't need to. Blink has updated their system since this video was posted. Watch my video called, "Is Blink Getting Better?"
Your videos are very well produced! Like watching real news!
I have 5 cameras with one sync module. I do not have any problems recording in all the cameras at the same time.
Thanks for sharing your test results with us.
I bought 6 and they all came with a mod each. Will I need to pay separately for each if I add them all to each cam?
Great question.
You'll only need to pay if you subscribe to the plan. But all your devices can be covered under one account.
I have the order blink cameras and work just fine
What if i have two modules set up. For example have 3 cameras on 1 module grouped as front cameras. Then a second module with 3 cameras grouped as backyard. Will that record an event going on simultaneously in front and back yard . Will i get both recordings at the same time
can you run multiple sync modules and record say the doorbell, and a camera?
Absolutely! That's the general thought at the moment. One sync module for each camera.
I have 4 cameras outside my neighbor hacked into my cameras threw my phone I called blink they ran a test an she said yes it's been hacked go to police I asked can u send me something to prove it she told me we don't get involved in that so I went they said they need proof a month later I was broken into.they have a bad rating with the better business burrow

Thank you. Good video.
I have my blink camera in the kitchen window and it will pick me up on the side that there's no camera but will not pick up motion on the camera side. Sad
How do I turn off the annoying notification sound and light when camera detects motion? I have blink gem 3. Thanks!
I want to know why when I check my batteries power one will have plenty of juice, and the other is DEAD?
That's a great question. 👍
The difference is probably in the amount of use. One camera is probably tracking more motion than the other. Thus, it's using more power.
@@TeachMe101 OK, but why would one AA use all the juice, and the other be almost full on the same camera? It's like its only running on 1 battery! It does it on all 3 of our cameras! I'm changing batteries almost once a month, and they not cheap!!!
@@davidregan9872 Let's try swapping the cameras around. Move the troubled camera to a good area and the good camera to the bad area. This should let us know whether it's the camera or the batteries. Please let me know.
Thanks David
With so many Blink camera owners the drawbacks to them should be nonexistent like watching multiple cameras at once, cast or connect from sync module to TV. A lot of the coding for this wouldn't take long for a company of this size!
I invested in the wrong company I guess. Also the battery life is terrible and using a USB cable for power outdoors compromises the water sealing 🙄
I have cameras at the front and back of the house, what if I had two sync modules and put the front cameras on one, and the rear cameras on the other, would you then get simultaneous recording ??
Hi Alan! That should definitely work!
This is PATENTLY **INCORRECT**!
These cams absolutely **DO** record simultaneously!! True that in the app - you can only live-view one at a time; however, if events are happening at multiple cams at the same time - each one absolutely **WILL** record & save a clip!
Prove it (this post was 9 months ago, was there an update?)
Now. It's finally true! :-)

Please, what's the delay between the "front door" recording and the "back door" recording?
The delay time or re-triggering time is set in the app. It can be set between 10 seconds to 60 seconds.
@@TeachMe101 Good morning. Thanks. But I was thinking about the time it takes to switch from one camera to another, if say, an object moves from the view of one into that of the other. I'm in Sierra Leone, West Africa and need to research before ordering. Thanks again and good day ...
hi i just found your video talking about outdoor security cameras and I have the blink mini wireless outdoor camera but it seems from different videos I watch that I should return it. I live in a rental so having wire camera system probably will not be allow. I can't even mount a Tv on the wall so I sure I can't wire drill into the wall. I look for clear video quality and record time with actual motion is being detected. Plus night vision. I thought to purchase extra motion light for that which camera is best. I still little bit confuse here on which brand to buy or take back my blink before it too late to return it. return date 1/15/23

I’ve had my blink camera system for 3 years and I've never encounter a message stating the camera is busy
Hi Jerry. Yours is a unique experience. In fact, you are the only person that I have encountered that has not had this problem. It maybe because of the age of your system. If you are able to record without a subscription, then your system may not have the faults of the new system.
I have a problem with the camera not recording, saying not on subscription plan, I do have a plan now
Hey Susan! Thanks for the comment.
Yes you are correct. Blink cameras won't record without a subscription plan. Its good for live viewing, motion alerts, and 2 way audio.
I get the camera busy message even when it's not recording?
Does anyone know if you can have 2 sync modules on the same account I currently have 10. I would like to change it to 5 on each module so I can cover entrance with multiple angles
Yes! You can add several on the same account.
anybody else getting ten feet or less range on their outdoor blink camera? I’m going to call them, but i feel they will just make excuses and wild goose chases.
You should definitely be getting more range than 10 feet. Try increasing camera sensitivity and make sure your zones areas are clear.
@@TeachMe101 yeah i went all the way up. it’s possible that it’s being affected by the mount being on a 5-10 degree tilt on the siding. i’ll level it out and hope that helps. i’ve ran many tests in different positions and settings.
Gee that makes things easy for smart thieves. Do something to trigger one cam then do your dirt in view of the cam that wont be recording. Yikes.
Hi Trap! That's exactly why I did this video. I wanted to warn everyone. I believe you are correct.

The trick is to have the cameras in places where they don't even know you have them

Is anyone having an issue with long loading for live view or a blink motion notification? If so any advice on how to fix this. When I say long loading I mean nearly 45-60 seconds long
Also you can not watch live view any longer than a few seconds before it says continue !!! Its so annoying!!!
HI Kt Hatch! Yes I definitely agree. That was one of the reasons I installed a hard wired system. Blink just won't do it. They should at least allow the feature on continuous power.
Good Point.
False on the reolink camera, I have to wake mine up every morning. I should have returned that as well as the blinks.
The solution would be to have two sync modules.
Can I use 2 sync modules
Hi Jason! Yes sir. You can use more than one sync module at a time.
My blink rings on my cell phone but won't show any video
Hi No Name! Humm.... That's a good question.
So you are receiving notifications but no video is recorded.
There are 2 possible reasons:
1. The system is not armed or set to record
2. No subscription plan has been connected.
If you are able to watch the LIVE feed with no issue but it won't record, then it's probably because of one of these reasons.
Thanks for taking the time to ask and watch the video.
