Troubleshooting
Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz (5GHz is not supported). Check that the camera is within range of your router and that your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the Blink app.
No motion alerts received
Verify that motion detection is enabled in the Blink app settings. Check your notification settings within the app and on your mobile device. If using advanced AI features, ensure they are configured and any required subscription is active.
Video feed is choppy or freezing
Check your internet connection speed. Ensure the camera has a strong Wi-Fi signal. Restart your router and the camera. Close and reopen the Blink app.
Night vision not working effectively
Ensure the area around the lens is not obstructed. Clean the lens. If using the LED spotlight, ensure it is enabled. Check ambient light levels; extreme darkness may still be challenging.
