When you want a good explanation on an item or subject, look it up on YouTube. 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 I don't get it.

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 YouTube and yours was the first video. I unplugged wall unit and restarted my phone and all is fixed. You are a lifesaver 💯

Good summary. My multi camera XT & XT2 system has been in service for more than 2 years now. Very pleased with it. Added bonus is it forced me to optimize my WIFI. All good!

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.

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 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.

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.

One of the most informative videos on Blink security systems. Thank you.

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.

You have the motion zones backward, when the boxes are grey they will not pick up motion. Do I get a free Tee shirt for that?

[chuckbaber]

Is it possible to view the security cameras through my Firestck? How do I do that?

[genoh]

I have had my eye on these for a little while and your video I think just help me make my decision.

[animalrescuer]

Thank
I have 15 nest cameras and just bought 5 of these for my aviary.
Mine was on DISARMED, that's why I don't get any motion recording. You are awesome

[thaduke]

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. ✌️ 🐯

[ryanmarquardt]

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?

[kimberlyguardipee]

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

[Tony_Jeffries]

Great vid... is there a way for me to change the times of my notificationss?

So I only want to get notified on a motion between 6pm and 8am?

Thanks

Hi GregglesTV, I'm Dennis from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about the blink security camera system!

[hotelphotography]

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?

[AnnH]

I love my Blink system except the range appears to be really short. What can I do to make it capture motion farther away?
