How To Connect Blink To Alexa

In this video we teach you how to connect your Blink Camera to Alexa. Once your Blink Camera is connected to Alexa it will allow you to arm and disarm your Blink camera with voice commands using Alexa. You will also be able to view the live stream of your Blink Camera on Alexa devices with a screen like the Echo Show and Echo Show 5.

These instructions will work for all Blink camera devices including Blink Outdoor and Indoor Cameras and the Blink Mini.

To Connect Blink To Alexa:
1. You will need to have your Blink Camera setup and installed on the Blink App and Blink Camera connected to Wifi. You will also need to have your Alexa device setup and installed on the Alexa App.
2. Open the Alexa app and click on the "Devices Tab"
3. Then click the "+" symbol in upper left hand corner of the Alexa app.
4. Then choose the type of a device you want to install, scroll down and select "Camera"
5. Then choose "Blink" from the options
6. Click "Continue" to connect Blink to Alexa.
7. Click "Enable Blink Smart Home"
8. Sign In with your Blink username and password.
9. Click "Close"
10. Click "Discover Devices"
11. Click "Setup A Device"
12. Click "Skip"
13. Click "Done"
14. Congratulations your Blink Camera is connected to Alexa and you can now use Alexa voice commands to arm your Bink Camera or view the live stream on a compatible Alexa device with a screen.

Awesome. It worked. Thanks for this. Have no idea why there aren't any instructions for this.

Hello! Do you need to get the sync module as well to access the live footage from the echo?

[SkyDawg]

Excellent. Brief, clear, complete. Thanks!

[SocStudy]

You are great. I was stuck on the last step to see the the stream on the echo screen. Thank yo

I keep getting invalid login even though I know my password is correct. Please explain the login... is it my Blink account or my Amazon Alexa account? I don't get the 4 digit pin either. Is it a new PIN I'm creating or a pin that was set up previously?

[dipeshshahus]

Can you view multiple cameras at once on one echo 5 device?

[dennischarlessutherland]

I finally found a video that walked me right thru and it worked. Thank you!

IF YOU HAVE SEVERAL CAMERAS ON BLINK WILL THEY ALL SET UP AT ONCE OR IS IT A CAMAREA BY CAMREA SET UP?

[yanglu]

WOW, I need assistance after 2:22. How did he link up with his cell phone with Echo 5? I have everything set up on my phone, but it is not showing nor will it come up on my Echo.

[technicaldifficulties]

A video that actually worked... tell other yootoobers how to do this.. haha thank you!!

[HeyTwinTv]

If someone is detected in the camera, will Alexa automatically open to show the person detected?

[sarahwoodside]

My Blink cameras were linked to my old Echo Show 5 but quit working. Now I have Echo Show 15 and I want to set it up. Thinking I may have to reload each camera again. My Alexa App on my phone says that they are enabled but they don't work.

Thank you! Does the Blink Camera work with Alexa > Routines > Sound Detection

[TrippyMELMEL]

Why did u skip where to find the pin #? That’s the part we look for the most

[Scott-smnm]

That was outstanding! Earned a subscribe!

[kingsultan]

Question, is cloud subscription required to connect to alexa? Thanks

[nkredjh]

Hey thank you for this video - are you able to get motion triggered notifications from your amazon echo/alexa? For example if I'm sleeping would I be able to get notifications from cameras as they are motion triggered (ie if someone was at the front of the house in the middle of the night or something)
