When you want a good explanation on an item or subject, look it up on TH-cam. 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.
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 TH-cam and yours was the first video. I unplugged wall unit and restarted my phone and all is fixed. You are a lifesaver 💯
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
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!
Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. th-cam.com/users/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
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 TH-cam 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.
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.
Thank you!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 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
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?
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 🙂
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. ✌️ 🐯
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.
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.
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.
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?
I noticed that when you were identifying the zones that the camera area was viewing for motion, that you need to emphasize that the grayed areas are areas. Thanks
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.
1. How can I disaram any specific camera and not the entire system? 2. How can I see live view continuiusly? 3. Can I use one of the camera at different location/wifi or away from the synch module?
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 set my system up today. Works great and I also get motion notifications on my Apple Watch. I noticed exterior cameras are easy to steal unless mounted high requiring a ladder. That would be a bummer if a thief stole security cameras. There would be video while still in WiFi range, but what chance of cops catching a masked thief.
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?
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. 👍🏼💪🏼
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?
got everything working except it does not tell some one is close I have to just check, can you tell how to fix this your video was the most help other wise
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
Thanks for the video. I come here often to get information about the cameras. I noticed that the video sometimes turns into black and white. Is there any specific reason you think for this?
In low light situations the camera goes into night vision mode which appears as black and white. As the lighting nears low light the colored picture gets very grainy until it switches to night vision mode.
Hello sir, how did you get your app to display all cameras? When I open my app there is no video to show. I have to click on view live feed of each individual camera
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.
I have a question, when I hear someone outside my house, I go to look at the camera, and it tells me camera is not available, live view is in action, so I have to wait for someone to come in before I can warn them?
Do you have any clue how many feet before the camera picks up at action how many feet away will it pick up action please hopefully you can answer me thank you enjoy your video
I'm assuming if you have set up two cameras on the same module, you have to arm and disarm together and not separately. Is this suggested or is it better to use a second module?
Is there a way to schedule different activity zones to be active/inactive at different times of day? I have onstreet parking, during the day when I'm gone I don't want to be notified every time someone comes in or out of the spot in front of my house, or a car dives through the unblocked zone where my car would normally be parked, but at night I want motion around my car to be picked up. Today I just "painted" the parking spot inactive- but more than likely I'll forget to undo it tonight. So it would be great to have that on a schedule.
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.?????
Thank you for the system tips and tutorial. I will be purchasing 3 single Blink xt2, that what they have available at the moment. I look forward to your other videos.
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.
Great video but I’m still unsure for example if the motion detection was a 30 second clip I wanna see 2 mins before the motion even tho it wasn’t detected how do I choose a specific time to see the camera as motion dosent pick as much as I want to be picked up
Just a question..about how long do the batteries last ( generally ) before you have to change them? ANd what is approx range ( line of sight ) ? thanks Savanna
About 2 years, but this varies depending on how active the camera is. If there are a lot of bugs flying by, wind, animals, humans, etc. that would trigger the camera more often than normal, then you would probably have to change the battery sooner. There are solar panels that you can buy separately that would power the camera instead of batteries. The panels would be great for cameras that are exposed to high traffic areas.
Great video. I have a question the USB port on the side of the hub or module can I put a flash drive in that to save clips, if so How do I do that. Thanks
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.
Couple questions if I may. are you able to share certain cameras with family members? Or can you share all the cameras? And can I armed and disarmed one camera and not the other or is it all or none? Thank you very much for your time and your video
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.
Hi, thanks for the video... thinking of buying these but your Amazon link says out of stock. Questions; I assume the motion detection if on and I set limits, with notification on, it will still send notification when I come and go? Which means I will need to turn off motion detection notification when I'm awake and don't want my phone dinging every time I go in-and-out? It seems if you have several cameras and you are in-and-out and around your property the notifications would need to be turned off and manually turned on when you leave your house.
The activity zone says that the gray areas are the inactive areas so the information you gave would be incorrect correct?? Also I am having an issue with my cameras detecting motion. Is there anything I need to do in order to get them to detect the motion?? Going to restart my module and see if that works
I have servers blink cameras, it does take long it seems to connect when I want to see what’s going on. I just got pan and tilt camera by eufy, it was on sale at Best Buy and that one impresses me. When I connect to it it’s almost instant….

I'm assuming if you have set up two cameras on the same module, you have to arm and disarm together and not separately. Is this suggested or is it better to use a second module?
Is there a way to schedule different activity zones to be active/inactive at different times of day? I have onstreet parking, during the day when I'm gone I don't want to be notified every time someone comes in or out of the spot in front of my house, or a car dives through the unblocked zone where my car would normally be parked, but at night I want motion around my car to be picked up. Today I just "painted" the parking spot inactive- but more than likely I'll forget to undo it tonight. So it would be great to have that on a schedule.
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.?????
Can you have live view in the Home Screen instead of just photos/snapshots?
We are having so much trouble attaching the swivel base to the camera . What are we missing ?
Press hard and it will pop in.it goes there the screw is on the camera
Thank you for the system tips and tutorial. I will be purchasing 3 single Blink xt2,
that what they have available at the moment. I look forward to your other videos.
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.
Great tutorial!
Helped me setup my system, manual needs to have all that info.
thanks just changed net company and have one camra not working...gona try unplugging mogil and try again..thanks for help
OUTSTANDING Tutorial! Thank You!
Great video but I’m still unsure for example if the motion detection was a 30 second clip I wanna see 2 mins before the motion even tho it wasn’t detected how do I choose a specific time to see the camera as motion dosent pick as much as I want to be picked up
Just a question..about how long do the batteries last ( generally ) before you have to change them?
ANd what is approx range ( line of sight ) ?
thanks Savanna
About 2 years, but this varies depending on how active the camera is. If there are a lot of bugs flying by, wind, animals, humans, etc. that would trigger the camera more often than normal, then you would probably have to change the battery sooner. There are solar panels that you can buy separately that would power the camera instead of batteries. The panels would be great for cameras that are exposed to high traffic areas.
Did u have to buy a cord with adapter for the sync module or did it come with it ?
My question to you is I have already have the Blink system. Can I use 2 sync modules at the same time .
Great video. I have a question the USB port on the side of the hub or module can I put a flash drive in that to save clips, if so
How do I do that. Thanks
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.
Questions my friend. How do I turn on notifications on my cell and echo 5?
You can also zoom in on the video by pinch and zoom on the screen
Couple questions if I may. are you able to share certain cameras with family members? Or can you share all the cameras? And can I armed and disarmed one camera and not the other or is it all or none? Thank you very much for your time and your video
You can turn individual cameras off
Hi ... could you demo ? How to set up existing blink cameras on 1 phone to another ! So my family member could access the cameras 😊
Thanks so much, I was about to return it !
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. 😞
Can you explain what you mean by "in call" and "media"? We have audio issues as well. Thanks.

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.
@@bymitten1 Thanks so much for the explanation!
Saw no fixes but great tutorial
Very good video, can you have another video how to install the mini camera, I just have blink system thanks
Hi, thanks for the video... thinking of buying these but your Amazon link says out of stock. Questions; I assume the motion detection if on and I set limits, with notification on, it will still send notification when I come and go? Which means I will need to turn off motion detection notification when I'm awake and don't want my phone dinging every time I go in-and-out? It seems if you have several cameras and you are in-and-out and around your property the notifications would need to be turned off and manually turned on when you leave your house.
The activity zone says that the gray areas are the inactive areas so the information you gave would be incorrect correct?? Also I am having an issue with my cameras detecting motion. Is there anything I need to do in order to get them to detect the motion?? Going to restart my module and see if that works
Hi there!
Do u know how to keep watch all time with no pauses
Backwards on your zone info. Gray deletes motion in those areas.
great video but how do you delete snapshots?????????????
Cool video tech talk greg
Absolutely the best video I've seen! Thanks!
I have servers blink cameras, it does take long it seems to connect when I want to see what’s going on. I just got pan and tilt camera by eufy, it was on sale at Best Buy and that one impresses me. When I connect to it it’s almost instant….
Can you do a video evaluation on Blink's new outdoor system? This video did help a great deal, but there are some features that are different.
Dude you sound like Tom Hanks! Has anyone told you this before? great video btw ;-)
Only you haha thx
