Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa
Answered many of my questions, now I will try and set my cam right. I keep getting notifications all night when cars pass by. Best explanation yet. Thanks
I really am pleased with my camera EXCEPT I have a hard time getting G the right angle to activate after motion. It's always different. But the visual / audio is super clear. ✌️ 🐯
My blink app doesn’t have all those features?! And it doesn’t show live view like yours when I open it. It’s so slow. I have the new 4th generation camera as I just installed. I’m annoyed. By the time I look who is at the door and click to see who is there the video takes so long to load the person is gone.
Awesome video. I put my sensitivity down to 3 and literally nothing triggered it lol. For the zone area though the grey part you select is for inactive 🙂
Great video! I recently purchased this system and the setup could not have been easier. Cameras work great and I get very few false positives on the motion alert. Thanks for this video. Also, worthy of a mention that the Blink system works very well with fire TV and Alexa. Anyone who has those devices should definitely hook that up.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Just one Q: instead of plugging the Sync Module 2 into 110V receptacle, I have it plugged into the back of my router' USB port. Is that, ok? So far, I didn't notice any issues.
We have had our system for over a year now. They were working great until our neighbors got the same system. Now they record whenever they feel like it regardless of how we have our settings and privacy areas set at. Literally just had my neighbor pull into my side of the driveway and my camera never activated with sensitivity set to 7. Had my doorbell set to 4 and it was picking up every car in the privacy zone. We have changed batteries once since getting them, and have reset the system twice. Now that Amazon has been having “suspicious reviews” left on these, I can’t even write a review. Seriously go with another system.
I'm watching this in November 2023 and it's nice seeing how worse Blink has gotten since this video was made. Now clips are limited to only 30 seconds in length versus the 60 available back then.
One of the two cameras I have suddenly stopped working. It has a red light blinking sometimes on the motion detection thing. I have changed batteries to new one and reset the module. The other camera works but this one still does not. It sometimes says "Camera is busy" or "Live view failed". Any suggestions?
Yes, I have the same issue. All wifi at max, I re-powered the sync module, and it seems the most crucial camera acts up moreso with "live view failed". Someone help.
how do I get my app to show the videos like yours does. All mine does is show a screen with a arrow and you click the arrow to show the camera. I don't like that it does that. Can I change mine to be like yours?
They upgraded data and now my phone doesn’t show the video and camera in the 2 lower hand corners. How do I get the back or how do I take a still for on my phone.
Excellent video really good one of the best I've seen. I have a question When you hit the little blue man to stop motion yet your camera is still on I don't understand that concept Can you elaborate for me When would you want to hit the blue man indeed disarm that part but yet have the camera still armed?
I disabled motion detection on indoor camera pointing at inside of front door and living room. No need when at home. If I left town for a couple days then I would activate indoor as well as outside motion alerts.
I just got my system today. Me and my family have been trying for 5 hours to get sound when a notification pops up to no avail. Any chance you can help me with this? PLEASE! Ive called support at least 4 times today and got nothing. Not much point of having it if the notification pops up while Im asleep and cant hear it.
Question, my video will pick up everything that comes in my yard except my daughter’s car. Is she somehow manipulating the system not to pick up her car? I keep asking her and she won’t tell me.
A great video for those just starting out with these cameras. Anyone else having this audio issue? For the past few months, when I view a live view, the audio is played through my "in-call" volume and not "media". I've gone through customer support but sadly they were as useful as a screen door on a submarine. In the end, they told me it was a known issue. But it's still not fixed. 😞
@@sweetkandee1582 On my android phone, when I press the volume up or down button, I have control over the sound that comes from "media", "ringtone", "notifications" (on-call too?) and "system". When I try to lower the volume when watching a live view, it doesn't lower the volume from "media" but thinks I'm on a call or something and lowers the volume from the wrong setting, basically not lowering the volume at all. Hope that makes sense.
Is there a way to prevent the LED lights to turn on while watching live so nobody know you’re watching? I know there’s an option on the app and it used to work but it doesn’t anymore. My status LED button is on OFF. Every time I’m watching a red LED light turns on and the worst part of it is that when it turns on people can hear a click and that alerts them. I don’t want anything to alert them. Whenever there’s someone in the house I don’t want anybody to know that I’m watching. If you know how to deal with this let me know. I will really appreciate it.
My friend gave me there blink system but says account already exists. How do connect his to mine acct so I can have 4 going at a time. He forgot his password and acct info not computer savvy so gave to me but need help deleting the old acct so can connect to me . Thank you
I need help please. I had to change my wifi password recently and now my blink won't record and save clips . I not really tech savvy so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I’m trying to customize the alert sounds from the different motion sensors and doorbell ring… meaning i want to change the sound / ringtone. Is there a way to do that? I’ve looked through my phone settings in settings in the app and I’m not finding anything like that.
I am trying to get mine to work inside a pole building. It's just tin and I cannot get wifi to them. I have an extender and have wifi almost 1000 feet from my house, but cannot get it into a tin building less than 100 feet from my house. Disappointing
You had the Activity Zones backwards. The area you DO NOT want motion sensing in is the gray area. The colored area is the area that senses motion. At least that is how my cameras work. This works especially good if there are spiders near the edge of the frame. You can keep them from setting off the cameras.
@@moem3595 It seems to work fairly well. I have two cameras on opposite sides of my yard aimed toward each other. At night they each are set off by the other camera's light. If I gray out the area where the camera is it stops them from recording each other. And in the day time I block bushes and trees blowing in the wind and setting off the cameras. The one thing I haven't learned to control is shadows from clouds moving across the yard on sunny days. The cameras detect motion and record.
Thank you for this information, this is what I came to the video for I wasn't sure If the Gray boxes were to block that area or to show that area more and thank Goodness I seen your comment cause I almost went by what he said but something told me that didn't sound right, And to check the comments... Again thank you so much you're a life saver...
I see u wrote Me back but can't seem to find comment lol and on the RUclips wall as I was trying to open it and find it for the 3rd time I accidentally hit hide and idk how and now I can't even see it under my notification 🤦🏼♀️wow idk what I did and I'm an idiot hahahha.... I suck 🥺
I love our Blink cameras, but it drives me nuts how they take so long to activate. My wife can pull up, get out of her car, and be coming into the house before I get any notification on the device, and it will record her just stepping out of the driveway through the door instead of her pulling up, getting out, etc. When delivery guys show up, I usually see them walking away, not approaching.
@@mayssm ours is on early detection but still get video alerts 10-15 minutes after the fact, sometimes longer than that. Always lets me know when my husband is outside lol every single movement. I have to disengage. But if he’s at the end of the driveway coming in , it doesn’t inform me till he walks in the door. Ha ha thank goodness it’s not somebody actually breaking in. On the bright side, I don’t have to answer the door to strangers anymore. Click a button and say “ can I help you?” For that it’s worth it’s weight in gold if hubby is gone.
When you want a good explanation on an item or subject, look it up on RUclips. I just installed my 3 camera Blink system this morning, pretty simple and straightforward. Your video was very informative, covering all what the system settings are and how they function. Good job, thank you! Now my question is; those 171+ individuals who gave your video a thumbs down..... I don't get it.
My camera is not working it says I may have to change my password for my Wi-Fi which I don't want to do. I tried changing the batteries but I don't think that's the issue since I changed the battery last week. I had this camera less than a year.?????
I could be mistaken, but didn't the notification alerts take you directly to the clip that it just recorded? I don't want to go to a live camera when I view a clip that happened a min or two ago. I realize that the ▶ button is only one more click away to view the clip, but this is annoying to me... Am I crazy or did this change?
hi does your cameras make loud noises in live mode as i bought 3 indoor cameras and i have a very loud distrought noise do you have any tips for this please
Take into account the worthless alert that is offered in the app. If you've ever heard the RING system alert you would know what I mean. Camera and audio are great, but the notification defeats the purpose of having a security system.
Can you talk about the subscription plan?? I never had my synced module on until recently because the camera started to become disconnected frequently. Now I have it plugged in all the time. Is that right?
Thank you so much. This morning I could not view the clip recording. When I clicked on the blink app, the bottom section was gone! So I googled it 🤷🏼♀️. Than RUclips and yours was the first video. I unplugged wall unit and restarted my phone and all is fixed. You are a lifesaver 💯
Nicely done. I’ve had my camera for several years now and actually learned a couple of things. Mine batteries last the longest with Energizer Lithium batteries. They aren’t cheap but well worth it in the long run.
Thank you worked that out now if you don't mind I hate bothering people how do you get the notification and the camera to notify me as soon as there's motion cause by the time I get notified the intruder or any movement are long gone thank you Ps if you need any drywall hints we in oz call it gyprock plastering don't hesitate to ask😜👍
@@dalegrant7015 lol your welcome. There are a lot of options in the settings. Go to settings/motion detection. Be sure to highlight that button that way you are notified immediately. You can also tinker with the motion sensitivity, zones & retrigger time. Now, on the retrigger time the minimum is 10 seconds which is where I have mine set. The problem is that a lot can happen in 10 seconds the camera is off. Lastly, be sure to enable the early notification if you enabled the motion detection.
Hi. I've just changed my batteries for the second time which is a pain but it's fine but now, my live view fails so I can't view the live feed. Do you have any ideas that could solve this issue please? Thanks.
Great review! Mine is set up but it picks up too much from wind or bugs on sensitivity settings 6, so I turned down the sensitivity to 5 and it doesn’t record any movement further away anymore 😢any tips?
Very thorough video. Too bad I had already set mine up a month ago...this would’ve assisted me tremendously. I still observed a few tips from this today though. 👍🏼💪🏼
Thank you for taking time to show how to set up the camera. There's no tricks though. I own 5 of them but they're freaking sucks. Big delay before catching anything. Even though I set it up to early notification, it won't show shit on most the times until after awhile and it keeps spots.
Great Video! Do you know how to change the Notification Sound on my phone? When someone triggers the camera (comes on my porch), my phone only makes a subtle chime. I would like it to make a loud alarm.
I had a brief internet outage this morning. Then it came back. All my other devices are fine. Blink remains offline. The sync module is less than 30cm from the router. There is no logical reason why the SM should not reconnect like everything else. I have power cycled both the SM and the router. Nothing fixes my issue which means my blink system cant do its job. Is there anything I can do? If I reset the SM, does that means I have to re-install all of the camera's?
I’ve bought a new Sync module, when I try to add my existing cameras it come up with the message “Camera serial already registered to this account “ Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
I have 10 blink cams and they all worked fine until I upgraded to high speed fibre broadband, now the synch module won’t connect. I’ve tried everything, no joy. 10 blink cams for sale…
Have had these for couple years now and are a super pain … they are electric ⚡️ not battery & constantly going off line or just simply NOT. Recording as they should… so …they work when they want to & dont when they don’t want to … plain&simple …IMO HIGHLY OVERRATED
I have four running, but kind of regret my decision now, as I really would have liked one or two of them to record 24 hr... which isn't supported by blink. I also find the lag time from cam detection or doorbell to my phone quite lagging at times, despite having a very fast internet/wifi. I'd hate to change systems at this point, wondering if the cams could be used with another type of system or not.
something that all these reviewers forget to tell ya is now you have to have a monthly sub to record video, IF you don't take a sub plan after your free period of using the cloud you WILL NO LONGER GET TO RECORD ANY VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without one of these storage options in place you can still access the live view, and receive notifications however nothing would record!!!! Now if you were lucky enough to buy before Apr 2020 then you do need a sub....Amazon does not make this plain and clear about these camera's, they have it worded like you can just use the base module with a usb card which is not true!!!!!
My Live View of the second Camera keeps showing that the Live View has failed. I tried changing the position of the Camera and it still keeps failing. Can you advise me? The Blink Camera is a twin Outdoor Camera.

Great review! Mine is set up but it picks up too much from wind or bugs on sensitivity settings 6, so I turned down the sensitivity to 5 and it doesn’t record any movement further away anymore 😢any tips?
Is there a way to watch continuously? I want to use as a baby monitor
Very thorough video. Too bad I had already set mine up a month ago...this would’ve assisted me tremendously. I still observed a few tips from this today though. 👍🏼💪🏼
Where are the tricks? These are all known!
Thank you for taking time to show how to set up the camera. There's no tricks though. I own 5 of them but they're freaking sucks. Big delay before catching anything. Even though I set it up to early notification, it won't show shit on most the times until after awhile and it keeps spots.
How do I stop the click sound?
Can you have the camer alert you if it detects sound? Asking more so for indoor cams and the mini.
My camera keeps saying live few failed I already changed the batteries and the blue light isn’t turning on. How do I fix it?
Great Video! Do you know how to change the Notification Sound on my phone? When someone triggers the camera (comes on my porch), my phone only makes a subtle chime. I would like it to make a loud alarm.
Do not waste your hard earned money these cameras suck!
I had a brief internet outage this morning. Then it came back. All my other devices are fine. Blink remains offline. The sync module is less than 30cm from the router. There is no logical reason why the SM should not reconnect like everything else. I have power cycled both the SM and the router. Nothing fixes my issue which means my blink system cant do its job. Is there anything I can do? If I reset the SM, does that means I have to re-install all of the camera's?
I’ve bought a new Sync module, when I try to add my existing cameras it come up with the message “Camera serial already registered to this account “ Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
I have 10 blink cams and they all worked fine until I upgraded to high speed fibre broadband, now the synch module won’t connect. I’ve tried everything, no joy. 10 blink cams for sale…
Have had these for couple years now and are a super pain … they are electric ⚡️ not battery & constantly going off line or just simply NOT. Recording as they should… so …they work when they want to & dont when they don’t want to … plain&simple …IMO HIGHLY OVERRATED
It takes about 6-7 seconds to view live compare to 1-2 seconds on the Tapo camera. I am very disappointed with Blink.
I have four running, but kind of regret my decision now, as I really would have liked one or two of them to record 24 hr... which isn't supported by blink. I also find the lag time from cam detection or doorbell to my phone quite lagging at times, despite having a very fast internet/wifi. I'd hate to change systems at this point, wondering if the cams could be used with another type of system or not.
something that all these reviewers forget to tell ya is now you have to have a monthly sub to record video, IF you don't take a sub plan after your free period of using the cloud you WILL NO LONGER GET TO RECORD ANY VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without one of these storage options in place you can still access the live view, and receive notifications however nothing would record!!!! Now if you were lucky enough to buy before Apr 2020 then you do need a sub....Amazon does not make this plain and clear about these camera's, they have it worded like you can just use the base module with a usb card which is not true!!!!!
Sir in this app not showing the my wifi router option
My Live View of the second Camera keeps showing that the Live View has failed. I tried changing the position of the Camera and it still keeps failing. Can you advise me? The Blink Camera is a twin Outdoor Camera.
